Kidz, Kidz, Kidz, this whole thing is a scam, from day one.
Thermal paste doesn't "DISSIPATE" any heat whatsoever. How about if we put down our game controllers and put on our thinking caps?
Any thermal paste can only >> remove << heat from a CPU, and >> transfer << it to a cooler_full stop. The only variable involved in doing that is the speed at which it can occur.
So, if a CPU is generating a 100 watts of heat, all the thermal paste can accomplish is presenting it to the cooler sooner. The cooler then "dissipates", (how about if we call it "redistributes"), the exact same 100 watts of heat into the atmosphere. And again_full stop.
So then how do I explain air conditioners, they cool things, right? NO, they don't. They "redistribute" heat from indoors to outdoors. No heat is lost, just moved.
And as a matter of fact, air conditioners create more heat than they redistribute Why, because the electric motors used to drive the compressors are not 100% efficient, So, however many BTU are created by the compressor drive motor are "redistributed" to the atmosphere.
How can we fix this? How about if we smear this snake oil on the motor;s drive shaft. That'll help right? .WRONG.
And for any of you old timers present, "the duck didn't come down" on this nonsense.
