Do You Even NEED Thermal Paste? Arctic MX-4 Vs Toothpaste Vs Mayonnaise Vs Vegemite Vs....

A big question I have asked myself for a while is "do you even need thermal paste?" and can you just use some oil for example to get good temps? Today I answer that by testing all your typical sauces and exotics like Mayonnaise, Tomato Sauce (ketchup), Tooth Paste, NOTHING (which is a big request from a lot of people with just bare metal on bare metal) and lasty a special guest Vegemite!

Overall the Tomato Sauce won out of the household sauces and spreads and came within ONE degree of the Arctic MX-4 (at same ambient temps and volts).... which means that this stuff would perform better than some actual thermal pastes out there, which is quite sad to be honest, but at least MX4 does its job and thats a good thing to rest on!

Also the long term hygienic effects are something that would make one wonder if it is ok to use this stuff, but honestly the chicken which had bits of food in there etc, would do a bit better if I had just put a dab of baby oil in the middle of the heat sink and that would honestly be good to go. However something to take out of this video is that bare metal on bare metal (no thermal paste) is a pretty bad idea, so use something instead of nothing.

The specs of the rig and testing conditions are as follows:

5820K @ 4.0ghz @ 1.12v (I kept it a little low as I had no idea what the outcome of this experiment would be)
Asrock X99 Fatality
Enermax T40 with One Fan on Standard profile.
AIDA 64 Loaded for Tens minutes at 18 degrees ambient (I think chicken had an ambient at 17degrees).
