1. Many people know that the silicone grease should be applied evenly, but the silicone grease cannot be applied too thick, and the overflowing CPU must be cleaned up, otherwise the down pressure of the heat sink assembly will cause the silicone grease to overflow to the computer motherboard. The conductive metal silicone grease may burn the motherboard.
2. Some thermal greases may be no different from other silicone greases you have used, but after a few months of use, the temperature of the CPU starts to rise again, because the thermal conductivity of this low-quality silicone grease has begun to decline; silicone grease The immature process formula of the manufacturer will cause the volatility of the silicone grease and the performance to decrease. It is recommended that everyone polish their eyes when buying.
3. There are many retailers who sell thermal conductive silicone grease on the Internet. They often hype the concept of 8W and 10w high thermal silicone grease. In fact, there are very few manufacturers in the industry that can achieve this thermal conductivity, and the price is expensive; if You need to buy thermal grease to find out whether the thermal grease has passed the ASTM D5470 test. The thermal conductivity of silicone grease that passed this test is recognized by the industry.
