[@charleshines8523]

Sadly, there are a lot of scam items like flash drives and phones with advertised specs that match absolutely none of the real specs. Some of them are phones with specs that would have been OK 10 years ago but are sold as flagship level phones. If you want a phone for the camera, avoid those fakes at all costs. Their cheap 5 MP cameras can't take an acceptable photo from 10 feet away!! Usually when you see those, they are allegedly a 64 MP or 108MP camera when they are not even close in picture quality to the real thing. Really I wish they would just do something really silly and advertise the fakes as 600 MP or some other wildly absurd number. At least then the fact that it is a complete lie would be obvious to anyone who knows they don't exist yet. I would give them credit for selling them cheap but I could get a used phone that is not a fake for the same price. That is right, you can get a good used phone without fake specs for the same price as those things and maybe even in good condition too! Even one of those in fair condition with a few scratches would be many times better than those weird fake phones!! I should also caution anyone who buys the fakes that the memory advertised is in reality a lot less and any files stored on it will likely mysteriously vanish! The crooks who make the fakes have ways to modify the software to report fake values. With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if the fakes had malware on them (hidden of course) that sends everything you do on them somewhere. It is hard to say if they really would do that but don't be surprised if they did!!

I feel like a lot of these guys that “wonder” what would happen if you used something completely opposite of thermal paste don’t actually realize what thermal paste is. Thermal paste is basically liquid metal that fills in any imperfections between your cpu and cooler. So whatever you use in place of thermal paste likely just wont work

Not liquid metal but a viscous substance with high heat transfer ability

[@adamantiteB]

If they have the stock AMD cooler, usually the paste is preapplied, which is actually a pretty good paste.Same goes for many aftermarket coolers but not all of them

[@DewRagen]

@@adamantiteB That figures despite most prebuilts from the time frame had their own oversized heatsink and a lower pwm cooling fan didn't do so well as the stock cooler from AMD did. Atleast on their Ryzen product line uses thermal paste that I never had to deal with the cpu sticking to the heatsink.

[@adamantiteB]

GD900 is an okay thermal compound, not the best but a good bang for your buck, GD100 is made for small LED light heatsinks, not CPU heatsinks. HY510 and HY810 are made by Halnziye, the same company that manufactures the Gelid GC-Extreme and GC-Pro Thermal compounds, but you wouldn't call the Gelid GC-Extreme thermal compound "sketchy". The reason the tubes are large is because they're intended to be used in production lines or office environments where it requires to be applied on many electronics at once. Now wanna see a sketchy thermal paste? Get the cheap Thermagic ZF-EX and test it just to see that it beats 99% of the thermal compounds on the market, I've tested dozens of thermal compounds including industrial compounds from Thermalloy and Dow Corning and Thermalright TFX and Cooler Master Cryofuze are the only thermal compounds that can edge it out and they cost way more, and the difference is 1-2°C at best.
