DON'T try toothpaste. I did once. Did not work well at all. Although comp smelled minty

1. No
2. No

Both will not be good for your CPU. Just wait. Go out and hang out with friends or something. Wait until you get thermal paste. Your system will thank you.

nah, i want to try something, but yeah, i wont do those. I still have the intel HSF to backup on, however, but they don't have much grease on either.

I heard peanut butter worked well in a test of etc items like jelly mustard etc.

I dunno how WELL it worked... I would think aluminum foil would melt and fail...
