Ask for help with PC Emperor, is the heat dissipation of the computer normal?

The CPU temperature is a little hotter.

It's normal. Do not worry.

The CPU is one of the many accessories of the computer, and the operation of various processes and the processing of various data need to be centralized to the CPU. When the computer is turned on, it is the time when the CPU starts to work. It can be seen that the CPU, the processor of a computer, is as important to the computer itself as the human brain is to the body.

When it comes to CPU maintenance,"Heat dissipation"First of all, of course.

DIYERS who are keen on overclocking and modifying all know the importance of heat dissipation, but the seemingly simple method of applying thermal paste (silicone grease) is the most easily overlooked part of many gamers.

Because the die part of the CPU surface is too small, and some CPUs (such as AMD ATHLON XP) have exposed capacitors, resistors and small gold bridges on the surface, improper use of heat dissipation paste may burn the CPU at any time due to short circuit, so the installation of ATHLON XP is still the most difficult graduation exam for DIY novices. In view of this, today the author will work with you to ** which method of applying heat dissipation paste is the most appropriate.

1. Should there be more or less heat dissipation paste?

To be in"and more"、"Less"If you choose one of the two words as the standard, the author advises all DIY novices to prefer less and more. Of course, it is not appropriate to use too much or too little thermal paste, but anyone who has used thermal paste knows that too much thermal paste is generally squeezed out, so the most basic thing to use thermal paste is to know how to control the strength of the exqueeting paste.

Second, it is recommended to squeeze the standard of heat dissipation paste

1.When extruded, the nozzle of the thermal paste is pointed towards the center of the die on the surface of the CPU. Don't squeeze from left to right like toothpaste, because the pressure will push the heat sink on both sides of the die outward, and the excess heat sink will be pushed closer to the capacitance. Place.

2.The die part of the ATHLON series CPU is small, so you only need to squeeze out the thermal paste that is about 1 4 of the die area (as shown in the picture above).

3.The Die protection cover area of the P4 CPU is large, and the extrusion of heat dissipation paste only needs to extrude about 1 9 of the Die area. Some people think that the surface of P4 should also be coated with thermal paste, but this is not necessary.

It is enough for the thermal paste on the surface of the P4 to be squeezed into a circle with a diameter close to the length of the metal cover, but too much of it will easily pollute the CPU socket and motherboard.

4.If the squeezing of the thermal paste is slightly more than the above ratio, you can use paper to gently wipe off the excess thermal paste.

5.If the amount of extruded heat dissipation paste is too large, it is best to completely clean the contaminated part other than the die before trying. Because if you don't know the conductivity of a certain brand of thermal paste, soiling the resistor, capacitor and Xiaojinqiao's thermal paste is enough to cause a short circuit and burn the CPU.
