Using toothpaste as thermal compound

[Mbarton]

So my temps kept going up for about a week (I check My Temps every day)So i went and turned the house 2 degrees down and it was still getting worse usually its 70-80F  (21C-26c) but it went all the way up to 125F+  (51C) so i took my cooler off to find my thermal compound that came with the cooler was like cement and it was to late to go to the store and im also super cheap so i thought i would try tooth paste and it worked like a charm my tems are as low as they've ever been unless something happens i dont think im going to change it.

Toothpaste likely won't last long.

Don't use toothpaste if you have a aluminium base, and be really careful cleaning it, cause toothpaste contains a very little ammount of acid that can destroy your cold plate.

 

Other than that, it should be fine... but it's like using vodka instead of perfume.
