    I'm just staggered that nothing went BANG! Can you imagine the effects of getting a bit of peanut butter or deodorant in the CPU socket?

    My nomination for the next candidate would be a section of a marigold glove...

    That is a great read, wonder what other crazy stuff people have used in place of actual TIM.

    I tried using copper grease on a P3 933 once. The answer is, don't. It was about as much use as a wet fart.
