Applying petroleum jelly to my CPU?

Hello

http://www.ehow.com/how_8632961_use-vaseline-cpu-sockets.html

But even though my hair stands on end when I read it in English, the article does say that Vaseline greases the pin holes so the holes for the connection pins.
"to work the Vaseline into the socket's pin holes"

-
it becomes harder to easily connect and disconnect your processor from the CPU socket.

"c'est dur de sortir et rentrer le cpu dans le support" is the only problem that Vaseline helps to fix.

the article cheerfully skips the details of reassembling the cooler onto the CPU.
therefore we can understand that the advice from the PC World article linked was followed:

"Then apply thermal compound before attaching the cooling bracket to the motherboard. The Intel processor included thermal compound in the package, but we purchased Arctic Silver 5." thermal compound = pâte thermique.

can you give the site where you saw that ??

In doubt, reboot!!
If you hesitate, format!!

I am very surprised; for me Vaseline (like most greases) is a good thermal insulator, so not at all suitable to replace thermal paste.
This is the second time someone posts about this topic, last time it was with olive oil or something like that.
So, for my part, there is no way to replace thermal paste with anything else, especially when we know the price: at 7 euros per tube, are you ready to fry your processor?
