The importance of thermal grease to CPU

      As long as you have been in contact with the electrical industry, including maintenance, you will know the importance of thermal grease. No matter what electrical appliances, thermal grease needs to be used. Thermal grease occupies this important position in the operation of the whole electrical appliances.

     Take the CPU for example, because there is no absolutely flat heatsink and perfect fastener, the role of thermal grease is very important. At the same time, the way of applying grease will also directly affect the heat dissipation effect of CPU. Some people think that thermal conductive grease is optional, but it is not. What will happen If there is no thermal grease on CPU?

1. If there is no thermal conductive grease between the CPU and the radiator, the computer can start up, but the full load temperature is very high, resulting in a very slow running speed. Under the same conditions, the temperature of the CPU can be seen easily for the operation of the computer.

2. The difference between computers with and without thermal grease can be up to 30 ℃, which has a great impact on the stability of the system.

3. At the same time, the material of the thermal grease also affects the thermal conductivity. For example, compared with the thermal grease with silicone oil as the base oil, the difference in thermal conductivity will directly affect the service life of the heating element.

      Thermal conductive grease is not omnipotent, and it also has service life. Generally, the service life of thermal grease can reach more than one year. Therefore, when you find that the CPU starts to burn to high temperature, it means that the heat dissipation performance of the grease is beginning to decline. For the sake of the service life of the CPU, the thermal grease is essential!
