Zero's Question

i have all the question about computer part here.


Anybody is free to answer!!

i have found a site about all the pc part when i was reading other post.the site is http://www.xpcgear.com. i want to ask what does the site thing do at here http://www.xpcgear.com/coolliquidpro.html

Thermal compound is used between the CPU and the heatsink or cooling block.

Also the Bridge chips and their heatsinks as well.

Personally I prefer Artic Silver:

Instructions here:

why do we have to use them

As mechanical gears require grease or lubrication the heat transfer process requires a similar substance between the two metals in order to facilitate heat transfer.

It is just a thin layer of compound but it prevents the two metal surfaces from direct contact which would result in melt down heat.

o thanks
