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?
