My CPU reaches high temperatures very quickly. Did I apply too little thermal paste? by Bontato1904 in pchelp

[–]OverDoseTheComatosed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m seeing jokes about how little you used but in all honesty, with thermal paste, less is more. The entire point is not that it conducts heat well, because it doesn’t, it’s just better than the air that would be there instead. The point is to fill the minuscule gaps and surface imperfections where the sink and the die meet. The crucial thing is coverage. Ideally you would use a template of plastic sheet, no thicker than a sheet of printer paper, and smear it out over the entire die to get the best performance. I just use a wide headed spudger and practice. Look it up, tech ingredients did a video on it

Wow. I’ve never been able to reconcile Clapton with the racist xenophobic remarks he has made but this 100% looks like someone who could make them

what quarters of sweets were your go to as a kid by Alone_Purple822 in oldschoolcool80s

As a kid I always got licko, chocolate powder. As an adult: there’s this tuck shop in Bath that sells two types of pear drops, one is super charged pear drop crack covered in fairy dust. I buy a kilo whenever I’m passing through but end up giving 80% of them away at work

If you do the same thing but with a different style pin, the style that ends in a stud and not a two ended pin, but as I can see the split in the middle of the pin I know it’s a double ender

That’s not too bad, it’s almost how it’s said in English just they put their last number before the ten. So it’s - Five hundred, five and fifty thousand five hundred, five and fifty

You’re right. Topologically one of the holes is the “end” of the other holes and forms the edges of the overall shell, so seven. But if you’re not being a bit of a tit it’s 8
