    I think so if you buy a tube of MX and enter the code , i'm extremely busy here and not had time to read the full terms & conditions...

    The topic was my surprise at 10 million tubes , it's not part of the competition as from what i can see you just need to buy the new 2019 Edition to get the Promo code to enter.

    Why, have you sold more than them?

    Technically it's a promotional lottery, so you're not really competing at anything or against anyone... but they do call it a competition, so I'd go with that.
    It's currently only worth £755 and 35p, though.

    I'm responsible for at least 2 tubes. If that's average, there are about 5 million people who bought it. I wonder just how many people build PCs?

    Yeah ,i've changed my mind, when you think about all the computers that have been built since the 1990s then 10 Million isn't really as big a number as i first thought.

    Extremely busy and not thinking things through.

    Friend of mine builds and upgrades about 200 a year, give or take. His Christmas Present last year included two jumbo syringes of Thermal Grizzly, because he uses it that often!

    Even I do a good 30-odd, I reckon. Every time the CPU cooler comes off, it gets a fresh pasting.

    An average of about one every two days? Blimey, can't leave time for much else

    I'm probably just one a month these days, tubes of paste last me a very long time, hence I can't remember whether I'm on my second or third tube of MX as I have used others as well.

    By my estimation, he probably does about 60-70 new builds and the rest are all upgrades.
    They don't take that long, though, as they're not usually massive water-cooled RGB monstrosities of power like our own rigs. The two of us working together (long as we stay well out of each others' way and don't joke around too much) can build three rigs in one evening just about. I leave the BIOS/Windows installation tweaking and all that guff to him, though. I do the cable management as he doesn't have the patience.
