Will the CPU burn out if it is not coated with thermal grease? Is it good to apply too much?

2024-08-27

Computers are modern office products. The CPU in the computer plays an important role. If you turn on the computer, you can observe that a thin layer of silicone grease will be applied on the surface of the CPU. This silicone grease is thermal grease. thermal grease has a good heat dissipation effect and can ensure that the heat generated by the heating element is transmitted in time.


Will the CPU burn out if thermal grease is not applied?

If the CPU is not coated with thermal grease, it will not necessarily burn out, but if it is over-applied, it will definitely burn out. thermal grease is a heat dissipation material, mainly used to fill gaps, and has strict requirements on the dosage. When applying, the dosage is determined according to the surface of the substrate to be applied. The overall thickness cannot exceed 3mm, and the application must be uniform and there must be no air.


After applying thermal grease to the CPU, in order to ensure full contact with the radiator and the heating element, the substrates of the two need to be tightened with screws to achieve full contact. thermal grease is a heat dissipation material that will not solidify and is not corrosive to metal substrates. It can be used in CPUs or other electrical appliances with confidence.


Although thermal grease is a heat dissipation material with good heat dissipation performance, there are many specifications of products on the market, but there are strict requirements for the use field. It can only be used in the middle of the electrical heating element and the radiator, and the type of electrical appliances used is not limited. If it is used in other positions, it will have no effect, and even the overflow of silicone grease will cause pollution to the surrounding relays.


In addition to thermal conductivity, does thermal grease have other properties?

In addition to basic thermal conductivity, thermal grease also has good insulation, dustproof and shockproof properties. In particular, high-quality products can ensure the differentiation of low-molecular oils. For example, TENSAN focuses on the research of thermal grease and provides customized thermal grease application solutions. It has a wide range of uses and can be applied to new energy, military, medical, aviation, shipbuilding, electronics, automobiles, instruments, power supplies, high-speed rail and other industries.


As a commonly used material in the field of electrical manufacturing, thermal grease has fierce competition among various brands of products. When purchasing, users must not only compare prices, but also compare quality in all aspects.
