The fact that it actually performs not so badly (although not long term) as a thermal compound makes one wonder what Hellmans is putting into it. :lol:

I once saw a massive list of every thermal compound...
Had Jam on there, Mayo, Ketchup... all sorts

Toothpaste and Ketchup are actually supposed to work quite well too.

Just goes to show what's going into them when they're made.

Toothpaste is supposed to be one of the best. Someone posted a graph with all types of different stuff used as thermalpaste on here ages ago and toohpaste was at the top, even beating some actual thermalpastes.

This would've been very useful two weeks ago, when a friend of mine uninstalled his CPU cooler to clean the fins but forgot he had no thermal paste...
