There are many kinds of silicone grease, its main raw material is silicone oil, mixed in silicone oil with some new metal oxides, additives, etc., made of similar "cream" like paste.

There are many kinds of silicone grease colors circulating on the market, such as gray, silver, gold and so on. This is because the added materials used in silicone grease are different, but the effect is basically the same. For general users, there is no need to deliberately analyze its composition, as long as the general know that silicone grease is mixed by silicone oil and other materials.
Another name for silicone grease is "heat balm", which is in "paste" before it hardens, so it gets its name. The main components of silicone grease are silicon oil and metal oxide, it has good thermal conductivity, temperature resistance, insulation performance, is the most ideal heat resistant devices "heat transfer" medium material, the most important is that it has strong stability, will not cause erosion, corrosion, damage to the contact metal.

During computer installation, silicone grease is usually used to connect the CPU and the heat sink of the CPU fan. In this way, the back of the CPU is perfectly connected to the heat dissipation surface, helping the CPU heat dissipation better.


Many users may think that the more silicone grease is added, the better the heat dissipation, but in fact it is not the case, silicone grease as a "bonding material" exists, not the more smear the better, its role is to let the CPU and the heat sink of the heat dissipation fan tightly glued together, because it has strong stability, high temperature resistance, will not erode the metal contact surface and other significant characteristics.

Therefore, silicone grease does not need to be replaced often, as long as after applying silicone grease, do not remove it, you do not need to replace, if removed, you need to clean up the original silicone grease, and then smear the new.
