Do you know how to apply thermal grease?

In daily life, when we disassemble the heat sink, we will see the thermal conductive silicone grease near the CPU and GPU. Some of them also have silicone grease that you have not spread evenly. There is only a little thermal silicone grease in the middle, which is not complete. Covers the case of the CPU or GPU.

When the following situations occur, you should pay attention to it. When the thermal grease you apply contains metal powder, the benefit of the thermal grease is likely to occupy the surrounding resistors and other components, which may severely penetrate the motherboard or Graphics card. These daily details must be paid attention to.

Generally, if the platform crashes, restarts, or shuts down due to overheating, it is recommended to remove the heat sink to see if it is not evenly applied. Often, the problem is caused by the uneven silicone grease that cannot perfectly fit the CPU and the heat sink. appear.

In fact, different people have different opinions on the method of applying silicone grease. Some people like to apply a drop in the middle of the chip and squeeze and flatten it through the heat sink; some people like to apply a thick layer to the chip; Apply a thin layer between the chip and the heat sink and so on. So what kind of application method is the most suitable and optimal?

The "syringe" application method has gradually replaced the old traditional application method. The "syringe" method is not used to isolate the CPU and the heat sink from the thick thermal grease, and it can effectively prevent the thermal grease. It is obvious that the problems such as damage and hardware damage are obvious. The most important point in the application process: it must be uniform, no bubbles and doped impurities can be generated, and it should be applied as thin as possible. The effect of applying this method is very good.
