What can you use as thermal paste? Can you make your OWN Thermal Paste? I don't know! And neither do Riley and Alex. But they gave it their best shot. ...That's not true.

    When Alex is in a video with Linus he's so logical and reserved. This however is pure unhinged Alex and Riley is constantly scared
  • @joshualioi5144
    "oh no! I don't have any thermal paste for my processor! Thank goodness I had my silicon gel and diamond powder lying around!"
  • @ryanvarney159
    Being an engineer, Alex is representing very well. "I think it'll work" that's engineering 101
  • Riley: "I brought Alex to keep me in check." Alex: "Oh, but this CPU needs a bath now." I love this channel sometimes.
  • @PlastiGomi
    these are the type of videos where I want linus to walk in to "what the hell are you doing" "putting mustard on a $2000 processor"
  • @meatballg8655
    Alex is the epitome of true neutral, he just does things that he thinks is a good idea at the time while everyone else just looks at him like he’s deranged. One moment he is worrying about cpu temperatures and the next he is cleaning off a processor under a tap and cleaning mustard off the board with a soapy sponge
  • @Xeno1798
    Riley's ever-increasing stress levels watching Alex work is amazing
  • @QuantumBraced
    Imagine the Ebay listing: 7980XE with a mustard stain on it.
  • @NeillSmith
    "Jesus that's like a $2,000 processor" continues spreading toothpaste over processor without even pausing.
  • @tmns0252
    When you started washing the CPU I almost choked on my sandwich
  • @alexmcd378
    "You're taking your mask off? What are you doing?!" Yeah, that feels different now
  • Can we get a series of, "Linus reacts" videos, where he watches what you guys do when he's not there? Lmao
  • @NeenanJones
    "Or just buy some from NCIX" So uhh, about that
  • @cameronsaint116
    2020 “did you take your mask off” it hits different 😞
  • @chlo_z7566
    Linus: is gone Linus' employees: "Quick, everyone, make a stupid video!" Linus: comes back HoW mUCh DiD tHIS coSt?¿?"
  • @rrnauderer
    Linus: Why are you putting mustard on a $2000 processor? Alex and Riley: It goes well with the catchup on the heatsink.
