Toothpaste as thermal paste?

well mine needs to have new thermal pasted applied i need to buy some and i'm going to tomorrow or friday(yeah christmas woo woo)
I can't buy anything online though I wish i could volt mod my 8500 GT (AFTER THERMAL PASTE OR I COULD COOK A CAKE ON IT xD)but i can't find anything for the evga one :(

Just use MSI afterburner tool. It allows GPU voltages to be changed and it works for most cards (I use it on my Gigabyte 4870x2). You can download it here

Seems to keep popping up that you can use tooth paste temporarily as thermal paste and works for like a day or so. Anyone ever tried it? Half tempted to try it til I can get some thermal later tonight.

Tried it on a Pent D 925....really...it`s as good as real cpu paste, but don`t expect it to last longer than 3 days....:D

Plus, it`s EXTREMELY hard to remove it....:cool:
