Thermal conductive pads and thermal grease, which is more suitable for computer CPU heat dissipation?

1. Thermal conductive pads

Thermal conductive pads have good thermal conductivity and bonding properties, which can effectively reduce the temperature of the applications. It can be customized according to the needs of any size and shape, with the convenience of installation, testing, reusable, and the surface has a certain viscosity. The pads have good thermal conductivity, the use range is relatively wide. For irregular surfaces or situations where small gaps need to be filled, thermal conductive pads are more suitable. In addition, thermal pads can also play the role of shock and fall prevention.

2. Thermal grease

The working temperature of thermal grease is generally -50℃ ~ 180℃. It has good thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, aging resistance characteristics. The grease is higher viscosity at low temperature, and lower viscosity at high temperature to achieve good heat dissipation effect. Function of thermal grease is conducting the heat emitted by the CPU to the heat sink, so that the CPU temperature can be maintained at a stable level, prevent the CPU from being damaged because of poor heat dissipation, and extend the service life.

If the heat sink and CPU surface of the laptop are in close contact and have a high flatness, you can choose thermal silicone grease. For irregular surfaces or situations where small gaps need to be filled, thermal pads are more suitable.
