thermal compound for intel processor

annoyingone · Feb 10, 2014

I was cleaning my pc and the default (intel) heatsink fan was very dirty. I didn't knew about the thermal compound so I pulled out the fan for cleaning.

Later after doing a little googling I got to know about the thermal compound so now I want to know which would be the best thermal compound for intel processor and also how much and how to apply it.

the details on how to apply are more relevant, any paste will work ok if you don't plan to overclock

laviniuc :

how much temperature of processor is alarming ? (I am using CPUID HW monitor)

laviniuc · Feb 10, 2014

i usually say over 50C when idle or over 70C on full load is cause for concerns... but depends a lot on ambient temperature

the lower the better

Max systin temp is 59 C (134 F)

and processor Max is 44 C (111 F) so I think I am safe.

The processor also must be having some inbuilt mechanism to prevent it from damaging due to too much heating, am I right ?

of course, the cpu will reduce the speed if it gets too hot.

I found someone selling Thermal Interface Material G15816-001 pillow pack on ebay
