What Is Thermal Grease?

Thermal grease is a material used to improve the efficiency of heat conduction. It is often used in electronic devices, especially between processors (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and other high-power components and heat sinks.

What thermal grease does

Filling gaps: There are usually tiny gaps between electronic components and heat sinks. Thermal grease can effectively fill these gaps to prevent the low thermal conductivity of air from affecting the heat dissipation efficiency.

Improving thermal conduction efficiency: It can quickly transfer the heat generated by electronic components to the heat sink, reduce the temperature of the device, and prevent overheating from damaging the components.

Extending the life of the device: Good heat dissipation can help reduce the damage to the device caused by overheating and extend the service life of the device.

Why is thermal grease important?

Modern electronic devices are becoming increasingly power-dense, especially processors such as CPUs and GPUs, which generate a lot of heat when working. Without adequate heat dissipation measures, the device may suffer performance degradation or damage due to overheating.

How to choose thermal grease?

· Thermal conductivity: The higher the thermal conductivity, the better the heat conduction efficiency.

· Viscosity: Moderate viscosity helps to apply evenly and ensure the best effect.

· Stability: It has good high temperature stability.

Application areas:

· Electronic equipment: It is widely used in the heat dissipation management of electronic components such as CPU, GPU, power tube, temperature sensor, etc.

· Automotive electronics: Thermal grease is also commonly used for thermal management in automotive electronic equipment such as automotive power modules and car refrigerators.

· Home appliances: Thermal grease can also help maintain normal temperature and ensure efficient operation of home appliances such as printer heads and power modules.
