That is thermal paste. It transfers heat to from the processor to the heatsink

Yes, Kris
Just to make it clear, taking into account your remarks.
The monitor will eventually fire up - might take two, three, four G5 power-ups,
might have to leave it for hours and just sometimes it might come on
immediately.

If it is the reason for the failure of your motherboard, replacing
them will be not only cheaper than a used replacement, but will
certainly increase the chances of it lasting longer than a used one.
So I figured. Glad you agree. Hope Andy pays you a percentage. ;-)

Not necessarily. But the likelihood of them popping on any used motherboard
is greater with age and more so in the case of the G5's.
I would never repair a pc motherboard, just throw it away, it's not cost
