How to Correctly Use Thermal Silicone Grease

Thermal conductive silicone grease, also known as heat dissipation paste, does not have heat dissipation function. Thermal conductive silicone grease is mainly a thermal conductive material medium filled between the heat sink and the heat source, which reduces the contact thermal resistance between them to improve the heat dissipation effect. Thermal conductive silicone grease has very stable performance, and the raw materials used are all green and environmentally friendly materials that are non-toxic, free of harmful substances, and do not produce corrosive gases.
Thermal conductive silicone grease is particularly important for high heat dissipation requirements such as CPUs, as the performance of the product directly affects the stability and effectiveness of heat dissipation. In the entire heat dissipation scheme of a product, selecting a good heat sink is crucial, but choosing the right silicone grease and using it correctly is also of utmost importance.
The application method of silicone grease often directly affects the quality of heat dissipation. Many people have a wrong concept when using thermal grease, thinking that the thicker the thermal grease is applied, the better the contact, and the better the thermal conductivity effect. However, this is not the case. On the contrary, the thinner the thermal grease is applied, the better the heat dissipation effect. No matter what kind of radiator base it is, only a very thin layer needs to be evenly applied to achieve good thermal conductivity effect. After application, it is best to vaguely see the contact surface. The most important thing is to be uniform, free of impurities, and without bubbles.
