Can I use Vaseline instead of thermal paste?
Absolutely not. Thermal paste is specially formulated to have high thermal conductivity and be stable over a wide range of temperatures. Vaseline and toothpaste may superficially look like a similar sort of goop, but it’s just not going to work.
Do you need thermal paste to replace a CPU?
After Removing Your CPU Cooler Any time you remove or even loosen your CPUs heat sink, you need to replace the thermal paste. This can lead to the CPU running far hotter than it needs to be, potentially overheating. So again, whenever you remove or loosen your CPUs heatsink, please reapply your thermal paste.
Can I use butter as thermal paste?
The results will surprise you. In order from the most thermally conductive to the least: Butter 53.2°C.

Can toothpaste be used as thermal paste?
Toothpaste is also an excellent substitute for thermal paste. Its structure decays after a few days, especially if the operating temperatures are high.
Can I use hair wax instead of thermal paste?
The best solutions turned out to be hair wax and toothpaste, which exhibited a relatively low temperature without completely drying out and cracking. If you’re impatient or under a tight deadline and need to squeeze in a few hours of extra work, consider toothpaste or hair wax when nothing else is available.
Do Intel CPU coolers have thermal paste?
Similar to AMD, Intel’s CPU will also not include a thermal paste; unless the CPU is boxed together with a CPU cooler. That being said, their stock heatsinks do come with a pre-applied thermal paste. For Intel processors, any boxed non-K and non-X variant CPU will include a cooling solution.

What is the best way to apply thermal paste to CPU?
Just apply a drop or two to the old material and let it sit for a minute while the cleaner breaks up the grease in the thermal paste. Then, wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth. A coffee filter makes a terrific, cheap lint-free cloth. Repeat the process until both the CPU and cooler are totally clean, and then move on.
Which thermal paste is the best?
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.
What is the best thermal compound for CPU?
Metal-based thermal grease (see image above) are gray in color and contain solid metal particles such as aluminum or silver. Their high thermal conductivities makes them the best CPU thermal compound for lowering temperatures.
Can too much thermal paste damge a CPU?
It does not decrease the performance, but it undoubtedly increases the temperature of your CPU. Just in case, too much (like the way too much) thermal paste have been applied; then there are some risks of shorting out things around the processor socket.
