The secret of CPU heat dissipation: the magical function of silicone grease

Silicone grease plays an important role in the cooling system of computer. It can fill the tiny gap between CPU and radiator, which contributes to efficient heat conduction. In this paper, the function and selection of silicone grease will be discussed in depth to help readers better understand this key step.

Fill a tiny gap

Silicone grease can fill the tiny gap between CPU and heat sink like "hook and loop", which contributes to efficient heat conduction, thus ensuring the stable operation of CPU.

Select the appropriate silicone grease.

There are many kinds of silicone grease on the market, including bottled silicone grease and tube silicone grease. In order to stabilize the heat dissipation effect, appropriate silicone grease should be selected. Silicone grease in the tube is better, because there will be no floating viscous silica gel, which will affect the heat dissipation effect. The special silicone grease with graphite powder and metal powder has good thermal conductivity, but its price is relatively high.

In terms of price.

Ordinary silicone grease only needs 3 yuan per box, and there is a tubular silicone grease 5 yuan with graphite powder and metal powder. Although small, but in order to stabilize the heat dissipation, the money is worth it!

Key steps of DIY computer

Choosing the right silicone grease is a key step of DIY computer. Only by choosing the right silicone grease can you protect your CPU and make it run stably.
