keep in mind this is a short term test for only 24h and it is NEVER recommended to use anything but thermal paste

But what kind of toothpaste? That's like putting all the thermal pastes into one measurement and just writing 'thermal paste'.

 

I want to know if I'm dealing with Arm and Hammer, or Colgate, or Aquafresh or indeed any other brand.

 

lol

You proc would shut itself down before any actual damage was caused due to HEAT. Voltage is a whole other story.

Would you accept the shit smell if it can make your CPU/GPU run at >20 C?

I am really afraid of poop don't ask me why. If there were thermal compound however that smelled like a skunk and kept my CPU at -20c I would defs buy it

Toothpaste will generally work fine, for the first hour, if you're lucky. Then everything goes to hell

I still see that no one has used any JB weld at all. tisk tisk.

 

It would be absolutely permanent, but I think if applied correctly (mixed, formed into a small square of even thickness) it would work pretty damned good.

 

Edit: It might work well for delidding your cpu as well? since it's grip IS completely and totally permanent.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Gonna start using mayonnaise 

What would happen if you used solder or like melted copper or something? Would that work better than thermal paste? That's something I mist experiment with
