Why does a CPU need Thermal Grease?

Sagot :

AL2006
The CPU generates a lot of heat while doing its job, and if the CPU can't get rid of
the heat, that's very bad for the CPU.  (Scientists say the CPU 'fails'.  Engineers say
the CPU 'dies'.  Users say the CPU 'burns up'.)

If you look at the CPU in your computer, you'll see that it's mounted on a big black
piece of metal with lots of fins and grooves in it, called a "heat sink".  There may
also be a little fan blowing air past the heat sink, to help take heat away from it. 
The thermal grease carries heat from the CPU to the heat sink faster than if they
were just bolted together with nothing in between them.
