Bakit kailangan pa ng videocard?


Definition
video card connects to the motherboard of a computer system and generates output images to display. Video cards are also referred to as graphics cards. Video cards include a processing unit, memory, a cooling mechanism and connections to a display device.

Functions

video cardFor relatively low-end computer systems, the ability to create output images can be integrated into the motherboard or central processing unit (also called CPU). However, if you want to watch movies or play games on your computer, a dedicated video card greatly improves the quality of the graphics. For serious gamers, a high-quality video card may just be the most important part of the computer system - it's a must for rendering 3D graphics in particular. (source: https://study.com)





"Ibig pong sabihin kailangan ang videocard lalo na sa mga games na mataas ang requirement sa graphics. At dahil may sarili itong CPU at memory at cooling system mas mabilis ang pagproseso ng images or graphics at malaking tulong ito sa CPU ng computer"

Thermal Paste or Grease... What is the purpose?


Thermal grease (also called CPU greaseheat pasteheat sink compoundheat sink pastethermal compoundthermal gelthermal interface material, or thermal paste) is a thermally conductive (but usually electrically insulating) compound, which is commonly used as an interface between heat sinks and heat sources (e.g., high-power semiconductor devices). The main role of thermal grease is to eliminate air gaps or spaces (which act as thermal insulator) from the interface area in order to maximize heat transfer. Thermal grease is an example of a thermal interface material. (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grease)




Ibig pong sabihin ang thermal paste ay nagsisilbing palaman para mawala ang gap or spaces sa pagitan ng ating Processor (CPU) at ng Heat Sink para mas maganda ang transfer ng init na galing sa processor upang hindi sumobra ang init nito (overheat).

Ang Heat sink naman ay nanatiling tama lang temperatura dahil sa CPU Fan.




Gaano karami ang dapat ilagay na thermal paste?
