Have you bought enough thermal paste to last you for the next decade or two, /v/?
>>
Honestly I probably have too much of it. They throw it at you for buying whatever
>>
>>746012418
I built my computer ~15 years ago and I've never replaced the thermal paste that came by default. Literally snake oil.

>completely price out consumers out of any form of hardware because AI companies pay more than enough to keep you affloat
>AI companies live off investors and potential revenue that might come with AI
>Said investors are also investors of PC part companies wich in turn creates a infinite investment loop of money that never really reaches the consumer market
so when is someone going to realise they are just throwing money at themselves
>>
>>746012612
Never. The economy has always been Hebrew magic. The money isnt real, the goods they purchase isnt real either.
>>
>>746012418
What, you mean like a single tube? Yeah.
>>
>>746012418
>stock up on paste
>it dries out
Oh nyo
>>
>>746012557
that shit is dried by now, when I changed my CPU after 7-8 years it was noticeably dissipated
>>
>>746012612
We're living in a post-money society now, The serfs still have to use it, but corporations do not.
>>
>>746012612
you can apply this to any financial/economic field. Money is entirely an illusion. It's used as a tool to induce change.
>>
>>746012557
It's really not; if you said 5~ years sure; but 15?
>>
>>746012418
I don't think I've ever bought termal paste in my life. Only PC builders would be affected I guess
>>
>>746012612
That's been our entire economy for a decades now. It's just more blatant here.
>>
>>746012798
Around 15, yeah. Built the PC sometime in high school, I'm now 29. It's an FX4100.
>>
Thermal paste goo takes years to dry out and AI isn't going to cause such an extensive impact on demand. As usual just CEOs jacking prices up out of pure greed and then blaming it on some bogus cause (AI made me do this! trump made me do this! gaben made me do this!)
>>
Due to AI just means “because AI suggested it,” doesn’t it
>>
>>746012418
I have like 4 Arctic mx-4 thermal compound tubes, bought 1 and got the other three thrown at me, still don't know when to use those I'll do fine
>>
>>746012418
>thermal paste are increasing in price too
jesus christ
I remember the days when mobos and (most) RAMs were cheaper than dirt
>>
>>746012418
lol
>>
>>746012418
I bought a cryosheet, I don't care about thermal paste anymore

How poor are you people? It's certainly pricy right now but other hobbies are much more expensive

thankfully people are moving towards not owning PCs so this won't affect them

You will subscribe to a cloud-based gaming and computing platform, and you will like it.

>>746012612
They're fully aware of it, and they're also aware that if they acknowledge what's happening and pull out the whole thing will collapse on their heads.
>>
>>746014759
Yeah there will almost certainly be a second big push for this stuff.

there will be a point were someone in the entire process is asking themselves why they arent making any fucking money and that one cog could take down the entire machine

It's like £5 a tube that will last years. Is /v/ so jewish now even that is something to cry about?
>>
>>746012418
I just found out about two years ago that this is a real thing. I unironically thought putting paste into your CPU was a meme because the idea sounds ridiculous to me.
>>
>>746015649
>its just 5$ a tube goyim stop complaining
>what do you mean you cant pay 10$ a tube are you poor?
>guys stop overreacting 25$ a tube is not such a big deal
>>
>>746015805
why are you crying about 25 when your ram is 4 grand?
>>
>>746012418
this is good actually
all hail companies!

No problem, I'll use my semen as a thermal paste.

I love how AI makes devouring the entire world more efficient.
>>
>>746013516
Can't make it too obvious
>>
>>746015614
That's the thing though, they are making money. Even if they're just circulating money among a few industries, the stock prices keep going up and that's the thing that the actual investors trade around
>>
>>746012418
Might as well buy some more now since I have to order new case fans also.

Thanks a lot, Altman.

>thermal paste
you are absolutely retarded if you waste your money on that, mixing hotglue with iron powder works just as well if not better

are you really that dense

>>746015897
Has anyone ever tried this?

>>746012418
Oh no! If its going up with 200%, that means I'll have to pay 6 bucks!!aaah

>>746012418
What the fuck does thermal paste have to do with RAM?
>>
oh no I'll pay a 2 dollar thermal paste the horror
>>
>>746012418
what is the technological limitation of not being able to produce enough silver tinted mayo for the whole world at affordable price? memory and GPU are limited by siclicon waffers. the rest... not so much

you're a zoomer, right?

it's gonna be real funny when one of them fucks up and the entire bullshit house of cards comes crashing down.

Most HSF come some preapplied. A tube of thermal paste will last dozens of PC builds. This is literally the least worrisome thing when it comes to computer components.
>>
>>746016098
nothing, but retards will happily eat it up as an excuse as you can see in this thread
toilet paper manufacturers could increase their prices by 200% due to AI for some reason and retards would accept it
>>
>>746016016
Might as well use your own spit.

I'll just switch to peanut butter.

>>746012612
The whole point is to continue this for as long as they can to buff the value as much as possible and then leave someone else holding the bag when they collectively decide that the gig is up. They tap out at the peak, everyone else falls down.

>>746016098
Optimistic answer: Every batch of ram requires another batch of cpus and gpus to go with the rest of the hardware, so they're buying up thermal paste to keep up with constant new builds.

Realistic answer: The other replies to your post.

MIght not be the brightest, but at least it's not 970

Wasn't AI supposed to have the opposite effect?

lol and lmao if you thought AI was for the benefit of goys

>>746012418
Last elite paste I bought got me 90* in nioh 3. while my cheap 3 years old one still held it around 80.
So not very comfortable with buying another one

One tube of thermal paste could probably last you an entire lifetime unless you change your CPU ever 2-3 years or something.

it's infinitely more likely it's a jew but you're too stupid to understand that

>>746016963
Dont thermal pastes (even if unopened) only last something between 2-8 years if you're very lucky? and probably much less and dry out if you opened it once?

When I took out my Ryzen 5600 from old pc to sell it after having the chip for 2 and half years the thermal paste was brittle and dry. It was using a stock cooler on an A620 shit board though so that probably sped it up significantly.
>>746012962
I sold an SSD for more then I bought it for after using it for 18 months. The market is completely fucked.
>>746015649
CPU coolers come with it pre-applied also. It's not actually enough but it cuts down how much of the tube you need to use.
>>746017067
8 years is nearly an entire motherboard cycle.

>>746017258
>8 years is nearly an entire motherboard cycle.
im tired of retards babbling about motherboards dying and CPUs dying in such short periods of time.
Nigger ive had computers that lasted literally 10-12 years no problem, ZERO thermal paste applied ever, and motherboards going for very long.
It's all a stupid meme. Next retards will start claiming 4090s and 5090s die within 6 years
>>
>>746017384
>4090s and 5090s die within 6 years
lol the melting 12VHPWR power connector was designed specifically for that to happen.
>>
>>746017384
>ZERO thermal paste applied ever,
Uh you mean reapplied....right???
>>
>>746012612
The goal is to crash the economy at this point. None of the people involved will ever be held accountable, remember 2008?
>>
that's nonsense, they could easily ramp up the production to meet demands, there is no material constraint like for GPU and ram. (same for disk drives)

Eh? It's not expensive at all though? You need it once every several years maybe? Who the fuck would notice if its price doubled even

There you go brainlet. It's in your own post.

>>746018268
I think most of us have full blown un-opened tubes in our drawers. I don't think I've ever even bought a tube before.
>>
>>746012418
dont care because i am thermal pasting my cute female coworker very soon during netflix and chill
>>
Only retarded low IQ muh masterrace memelord faggots change their paste, one application is usually enough for almost 6-7 years.

Yeah, it is. So can you tell me the context I need please?
>>
>>746012418
I bought a tube of thermal paste in like 2009 that ive never ran out of
