I have read on Dans Data that toothpaste is just as effective as any designer paste.

WWell allow me to elaborate a few simple and straightforward observations. The product is easy to apply if simple guidelines outlined in the accompanying documentation are followed. This includes removal of product from areas where it may have been accidentally applied. The viscous plasticity character is most excellent nearly resembling resorcinol at approximately ten minutes past wet tack mixing.

My concerns were with thermal conductance as it seemed lower than standard pastes immediately upon application and system start up. It appears that this does need a run in and we'll follow the thermal diode readings closely along with other environmental parameters that may impact temperature.

Thanks for your time!

So why again did you ask us?

I always seek what's best sparing no expense really.

Pure silver.

Actually diamonds have the best thermal conductance but obviously (like pure silver) an interface needs to be developed to facilitate an ideal mechanical meshing between the cpu heat spreader and the base of the heatsink itself.
