I remember when i was in the Philippines its really hard to find thermal paste in my place way back 2000. We used toothpaste instead of thermal paste. Its a good paste colgate toothpaste.

theres a test somewhere that says toothpaste and marmite both work better then thermal paste for the first few days or so before they dry out

bah.. vegemite. never mind. use it all you want

 

[cheesy999]

no it wouldn't, imagine the smell when your cpu heats the marmite up to 60-80 'c

I head the unfortunate people of america and australia don't have marmite

 

[Spectrum]

if you take into account the wonderful smell... then why not use bacon?

 

[Spectrum]

tbh though i would rather have my computer smelling of mint than marmite

tbh though i would rather have my computer smelling of mint than marmite

cause the bacon wouldn't work well as a thermal paste, and why, why mint?

does BT infinity affect the normal phone line's speed?

I think it replaces the normal phone line somehow

its a compleatly different cable into the house - fibre optics and all that stuff

 

[Bo$$]

let me ask differently say, for instance, i dont upgrade to BT infinity will i see any difference to my connection?

no, you might even get a better connection as everyone else leaves and the network usage (at the telephone exchange) decreases (it depends what isp your on, sky or o2 users won't notice as they genrally have a good network capacity, BT and all the companies that run of it will probably see a speed increase at times when the internet is at load)

i think we've found a new car for Tatty

JLR also announced a £700,000 “supercar” of which just 250 will be built between 2013 and 2015 for sale to rich people around the world as a “showcase” of the company’s technology.

don't have any - and i think its poisonousness or something

 

[Bo$$]

no no, it's fine it wont hurt you

hurry up and try it!

jk

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Wouldn't it be cool if they invented a thermalpaste you could eat? if its past its shelf life you could eat it like tubes of cheese like they have in america

 

[Spectrum]

nah.. wouldn't work...
people would just end up eating it instead of using it lol

i know i would... i would try to obtain the heat-transferring attributes that the paste possesses!
