Toothpaste as cooling-paste?

[jay_l_a]

YES...BELIEVE ME A TOOTHPASTE IS POSSIBLE FOR HEATSINK AND CPU AND I TRIED IT AND IT WORKS...IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION EMAIL ME AT caa_bmc@yahoo.com

Yet ANOTHER 7+ year old thread replied to by a 1 post stranger.

Won't SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

i think people need to understand that even with out thermal paste the heatsink will still do its job but not as well.

I blame Google (and low IQs) for all the thread necroing.

Umm, I'd like to resurrect this post another time to say something. So I'm sorry if someone has a problem with this, but this page is still a result on Google.

I have tested Toothpaste as a TEMPORARY thermal paste. In fact, my cpu fan is sitting on toothpaste as I type this. (I can't go to the store today, needed something till then.)

I checked the temps in BIOS immediately after booting up, and my Processor was running at 50 ~ 52 C. (Normal for my slow fan)
After, I booted up windows xp and downloaded speedfan to check the temps while in use. I'm still getting temps around 54~55 C.

I wouldn't say to use it as an alternative, but if necessary, as a temporary replacement until the next day.
I read that another person tried it and advise to replace it every 45 min.
I've been running my cpu on the toothpaste for a little under an hour, while monitoring the temps, and it's still at 56 C.

The only problems are that it's temporary, and it is a little messy to clean off, but not too hard.


My processor is an Intel Pentium 4 (2.40 Ghz) running Windows XP Pro.
I don't know what temps it runs without any thermal paste.

You're an idiot.

Do not use toot paste. Just run it with out anything until you buy some.

Mark, we are both idiots. You for even replying, me for saying your an idiot for replying.

Toothpaste - KY jelly - olive oil - vaginal mucus - use your imagination.

just make sure it doesn't leak onto the motherboard.

for temporary use, a lot of things will work. preferably something that won't damage your computer parts & is easy to clean off.

i think i did use toothpaste once, it worked no problem - for a week. then i got a 22g tube of AS Ceramique, basically a lifetime supply.

DAMN IT! Please DON'T BRING UP DEAD THREADS. I have seen like 30-40 in the last month and it's getting annoying.

cooling-paste as toothpaste? mmmm....
Yea this thread is ancient. I'd rather run with direct metal contact than with putting a sheet of fouride between my hsf and cpu. If you don't want to use thermal goo, lap your hsf and cpu, it's that simple. Or buy a low temp C2D/Atom and run a Coolermaster V10 on it, probably won't overheat then without any thermal paste 😀

Shadow has made many many many great helpful posts on Toms. We are glad to have him here. His post count dictates his title.

And have you folks heard about the new material for paste? No specific buyable stuff yet but it is on Wiki and sounds awesome.

Google "Unobtainium Wiki".

I've never bought anything from a local shop as I find it cheaper (even with delivery) to go so somewhere like ebuyer and purchase from there. They have silver 5 for like a fiver I think.

 

[robertomad]

use colgate, then watercool it with listerine. That should work.

what what? in the butt

thought i might join in the fun
