I know my countrymen are generally hardware illiterate and blindingly stupid, but I wasn't aware that people this retarded existed.
Anyone ever get accused of something nefarious when doing /g/-related things?
A thermal compound is way too advanced for the dum-dums who make up modern /g/. Why are you here? You're clearly too smart for this board.

> coffee filters for changing out my thermal compound
Why?
>>53770704
not him, but I think is for removing the old one
They're good when you're cleaning off old stuff. They don't leave lint or fibers that can make bubbles or anything.
>>53770704
They don't leave stray particles or lint
>>53770167
Thermal anything sounds like "bomb" in the average person's mind.
How stupid do you assume the average person is? The average person is twice as stupid.
Shoulda just said something a normal person would understand, like "making irish coffee" or some dumb shit
>>53770704
Coffee filters are lint free and soft.
>>53770738
>>53770747
>>53770763
Okay, okay, no lint, I got it.
Still gonna use cotton disks and my own finger.
It's called thermal paste you dumb fuck. Go do the needful.
Who the hell goes to a pharmacy to buy thermal compound? Or anything other than medicine for that matter. Do you like paying 100% over retail?
>>53770167
>being a shitskin
that's what you get for not killing yourself upon birth
>>53771532
Given that it isn't always a paste, that is wrong.
Thermal compound as Op says is correct.
>>53770167
Just ask for 3 packs of xxs Condoms for your tiny fuck stick next time pajeet. It would alleviate any suspicion.
>>53771549
Indians, that's who. Americanized Indians are ok, but the older ones think they have full command over the language and everything else. If you tell them straight out they're retarded and have no idea what they're talking about they wouldn't consider the possibility that they might be wrong.
>>53771549
I want to know this too. I've never even seen a computer for sale at a pharmacy.
>>53771616
>Given that it isn't always a paste, that is wrong.
There's a reason stock heat sinks have a thin translucent piece of plastic over the """""compound""""". It's a fucking paste.

Cool clock Ahmed!

holy fuck you nigger, couldn't you have stood there and told them it's to clean your computer? Then shown a google search if they didn't believe you
>>53771682
So.. in your mind
Clay is a paste too, right?
mud is a paste.. water is a paste that soup?, thats a paste
>>53771682
So you're saying paste isn't a compound?
And not all stock heat sinks come with a plastic cover on because often the compound is polymer based, not a paste.
Why ask for that at a pharmacy? Retards associate everything that ends in compound with bombs.

You don't have countrymen, you're just tacitly allowed to co-inhabit.
>>53771727
Clay can be pasty, but that's beside the point. OP was looking for thermal paste for a heatsink. Soup is not pasty or a paste. Not even tomato basil.
>>53771799
that depends how you make soup
>>53771767
>So you're saying paste isn't a compound?
You are a compound. It would be more accurate to say you were a human, just like it would be more accurate to call thermal compound, paste. Nobody calls it thermal compound.
>>53771799
Pretty sure he was looking for thermal compound and not specifically a paste. Did you even read the OP?
>>53771921
I call it thermal compound. So do many others.
Not sure why this is making you so salty.
>>53771988
It's extremely vague, and OP was fucking retarded to go looking for thermal paste at a pharmacy. A compound is any combination of more than one material.
