    How does someone get to know thermal paste is a requirement without accidentally seeing how it’s required?

    This is like knowing petrol is needed for your new car, then just stopping at some point, referring to the note “Get petrol” and deciding pumping it into every orifice the car has is what that means. “I assume that’s what that meant. I’m in a rush. No time to Google how to pump this “petrol” thing into the car.”

      I can’t remember the video but it was some dude from a major computer YouTube channel fillmed himself building a PC. He used a grounding strap that wasn’t grounded and did all this crazy crap. They ended up taking it down fairly quick but not before everyone made fun of it. I think even he used thermal paste though.

      Engine oil? Well, petrol comes from oil! Better fill it up! Air goes in the intake, and we need fuel and air to mix. Throw some in there!
