So you totally can put thermal paste in the pins like that. Everything else….

Really? If it's conductive, it'll short every pin. If not, it won't connect CPU to motherboard?

I figure you're probably correct, but I don't understand.

But yeah thermal paste just isn’t conductive and the pressure supplied to the pins is high enough to still get contact.

You could hurt yourself, or worse: damage your computer.

LOL, I like this guy.

That makes sense. Thanks!
