Explain to me the thermal paste meme...

explain to me the thermal paste meme. My old as fuck pc with a shitty i5 2500 i use to play games that shouldn't even be running on my it works just fine without it.

It probably has it and you don't know. Maybe take your head out of your ass for once?

your computer would crash in seconds if you didnt have thermal paste

Also try learning about hardware you little shit

It's not a meme. It's something you actually need.

i've took the pc apart several times to clean it of dust over the years (yes that includes separating the dissipator from the cpu), and I can guarantee you faggots that it has no thermal paste. I personally removed the remaining bits once the most of it fell apart on its own

It has thermal paste, all (working) processors use it. The different types don't really matter so much unless you're overclocking.

Enjoy your throttling, faggot.

If you really don't have thermal paste then your cpu is throttling back to less processing power than an i3.

KYS retards

also

>shitty i5 2500
that's not shitty, your bait is

>OP refers to gaymen
>Probably not bait

OP is a faggot.

i was obviously exaggerating, bt still an i5 2500 is average at best

what does that have to do with anything?

it's obvious fucking bait. stop replying to bait and point them to the idiot thread

it's not bait you autist, I am honestly curious

pic related is the temperature of my cpu with only a couple of chrome tabs open and spotify

do tell how you know it doesnt have thermal paste then

dude i've literally took the fucking thing apart

then you're not doing jack shit except web surfing

run intelburntest and tell me how that goes.

>idles at 60C

r i p

how bad is it? kek

>96C
WEW LAD
Dead chip in 5...4...

It's fine... Do you have an egg?

no I won't fry an egg on it ahahahah

>idles at 60c
>96c right now
>no thermal paste
OP's PC is dead.

>stress level: standard
>96 C
abysmal, mine doesnt even break 50 C (same CPU as you)

you're gonna kill your CPU if you do anything other than watch video and browse the web.

RIP your CPU

It's probably throttling.

probably, i get 2 seconds less per cycle than him

either way that shit is gonna burn up soon

It's not going to 'burn up'. It's just going to be way slower than it could be.

i meant it will reduce the lifespan (unlike OCing which does barely fuck all in that regard).
