CPU temperatures

The goal of thermal paste is to draw the heat from the CPU as quickly as possible. Since air is a bad conductor of heat, you will need more than an air cooler to maintain safe temperature levels. This is where the thermal paste comes in.

The thermal paste reduces the heat immediately even before the cooler goes to work. If your CPU temperatures are consistently high, your thermal paste might dry up faster. When other people or even websites factor this in, thermal paste longevity becomes incredibly inconsistent.

People may say it can last for only 2 years while others experience up to a decade without reapplying thermal paste. But as a general rule, if your CPU is getting worked hard, your thermal paste can dry up faster than usual.

Position of your PC tower

The same logic as before but with more emphasis on the proper airflow of your PC build. Generally, you would want your PC in an air-conditioned room that is also away from direct sunlight. This will keep your PC tower cool as much as possible.

You would also want your PC to be on top of something. It could either be a desk, a PC stand, or anything that can lift it off the floor. This is because your PC will vacuum all the dust on the floor if it is left on the floor. It ruins the airflow and could also potentially damage your other components.

Thermal paste mixture

Thermal paste is made of a polymerizable liquid matrix and some metal oxide compounds fillers. For this liquid matrix, there are a lot of materials that can be used to make the thermal paste. Silicone oil is the common material.

The best thermal pastes for computers are almost made entirely out of liquid metal(it is electric conductive, not recommend for ordianry users). Each of the brands has different mixtures for their thermal paste and all have different thermal conductivity. Some brands might be cooler but have a shorter lifespan and vice versa.

Halnziye is specialzied in thermal paste product over 15 years, we can provide different models of silicone based thermal paste for different CPUs, contact us and get more details about Halnziye thermal paste products.
