Silicone is a kind of silicone rubber, its thermal conductivity is slightly higher than ordinary rubber, but compared with thermal grease is much worse, and once the silicone is cured, it is difficult to separate the bonded object. Therefore, we generally choose silicone grease as the medium between the CPU/GPU and the heatsink, and silicone as the heat sink for components such as MOS tubes and graphics memory chips. It is very important for manufacturers to have good silicone grease because high-end thermal conductive silicone grease can make the CPU/graphics card cooler perform better than ordinary thermal conductive silicone grease.
Thermal grease can be used in a wide range of electronic products, however, generally speaking, after a period of use, the computer will deposit some dust inside the chassis, which will affect the CPU/graphics card heat sink and other components of heat dissipation, so the computer needs to be cleaned regularly.
