Warning: ThermalRight HR-05/IFX Pad Support Health Hazard

After 2 years of usage, the 680i mobo failed to POST.

Upon removal of the ThermalRight HR-05/IFX (to claim warranty from Asus), I discover the square pad support installed between the chipset and the HR-05/IFX had become hardened and chalky. No longer was the pad removable in one piece. Removal required a long process of manually scrapping the now chalky particles out, perhaps releasing hazardous chalky particles into the air.

This is unacceptable, I am very disappointed in this product.
Buyer Beware

So do you know for sure that it is a health hazard or are you just assuming that it is?

Last I checked,foam pads aren't good to eat but they won't kill you if you get a whiff of them. Just don't huff the 'hazardous chalky particles' and you should be fine 😛
 
Who knows what chemicals were used to make foam plastics. People don't wear air filters in plastics manufacturing plants for fashion. So it certainly can't be beneficial.

This is the first time I've seen a cooling product with foam harden to chalk like this.
