What is the function of thermal grease and how to use it correctly?
Thermally conductive silicone grease: Thermally conductive silicone grease is a kind of material used to fill the gap between the CPU and the heat sink. This material is also called thermal interface material. Its function is to conduct heat from the CPU to the heat sink, keep the CPU temperature at a stable working level, prevent the CPU from being damaged due to poor heat dissipation, and prolong its service life.
How to use: In the application of heat dissipation and heat conduction, even two flat surfaces with very smooth surfaces will have gaps when they are in contact with each other. The air in these gaps is a poor conductor of heat and will hinder the conduction of heat to the heat sink. The thermal conductive silicone grease is a material that can fill these gaps and make the heat conduction more smoothly and quickly.
There are many types of silicone grease on the market, and different parameters and physical properties determine different uses. For example, some are suitable for CPU heat conduction, some are suitable for memory heat conduction, and some are suitable for power supply heat conduction.
