Jonathon Delacour the heart of thingsThermal transfer compound is “the stuff you put between your CPU and your CPU cooler, to aid in the transfer of heat from the former to the latter.” So why has Dan Rutter included toothpaste and Vegemite in his comparative review of different premium thermal transfer compounds? “Because they work just as well, that’s why. Well, they sort of do.”
Dan sure is one kwazy wabbit. I'm both fascinated and terrified by the thought of overclocking. I love reading about it on Dan's site and on Tom's Hardware Guide, but I doubt I'd ever try it. Fitting a Firewire card to my PC caused me enough stress.

Trust Rutter to try Vegemite and Toothpaste, fair dinkum he's a funny bastard. Is there anything Dan won't do in the name of research? When it's all said and done it's still worth the $15.00 for Artic Silver III or whatever you like to use. If you are like me and can't help but overclock the hell out of your CPU then an extra 4º cooler can mean an extra reliable 50Mhz. Now if only we can only stop the Vegemite from drying out and reduce the salt to eliminate corrosion I could pull another 50Mhz.
