How to apply thermal grease on a laptop
With the arrival of high temperatures in summer, notebook cooling issues have become the focus of many users. Thermal silicone grease is a key material to improve the cooling efficiency of notebooks, and its application method directly affects the heat dissipation performance. This article will introduce in detail how to apply thermal grease correctly, and attach hot topics and hot content in the past 10 days to help users better maintain their notebooks.
1. Steps to apply thermal silicone grease
1.Preparation: Shut down the notebook and disconnect the power supply, remove the back cover, and find the heat dissipation modules for the CPU and GPU.
2.Clean old silicone grease: Use a lint-free cloth or alcohol cotton pad to thoroughly clean the remaining old silicone grease to ensure the surface is clean and free of impurities.
3.Apply new silicone grease: Take an appropriate amount of silicone grease (about the size of a grain of rice) and apply it evenly on the chip surface with a scraper or finger cot. Be careful not to overdose.
4.Install radiator: Re-tighten the radiator, make sure the silicone grease is evenly distributed, and then tighten the screws.
2. Hot topics and content in the past 10 days
| hot topics | heat index | Main discussion content |

3. Precautions
1.Silicone grease dosage: Too much will cause overflow and contaminate the circuit, too little will affect the heat dissipation effect.
2.Silicone grease type: Metal silicone grease (such as liquid gold) has strong conductivity and needs to be used with caution.
3.Replacement cycle: Ordinary silicone grease is recommended to be replaced every 1-2 years, and high-performance silicone grease can be extended to 3 years.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to wait for the silicone grease to solidify after applying it?
A: There is no need to wait for non-curing silicone grease (such as Shin-Etsu 7921), it can be used after installing the radiator.
Q: Is it better to apply thicker silicone grease for better heat dissipation?
A: Wrong! Too thick will increase the thermal resistance, thin and uniform is the key.
Summary: Correct application of thermal grease can significantly improve the cooling efficiency of notebooks. Combined with brand recommendations and tool reviews in recent hot topics, users can complete maintenance operations more efficiently. If you are not confident about operating it by yourself, it is recommended to seek professional maintenance services.
