Hi guys, I would like to talk about thermal paste for laptops. Because recently appeared many laptop cleaning services from 100 – 300 K. And also many people wonder why this place is expensive, that place is cheap. In addition to the highly skilled technical team, the company’s long-standing brand name it also depends on thermal paste.
Good or bad thermal glue depends a lot on the laptop cleaning process. If using bad glue, the machine runs hot quickly, using a good type helps to dissipate heat better. In general laptop cleaning – money’s there!
The dust cleaning process is an indispensable process, but there are factors that play a vital role, namely temperature and wind flow. In terms of temperature, it is necessary to pay attention to thermal cream – this is the most accurate name. We techies call it thermal paste.
Why does thermal paste play an important role in laptop cleaning? Because the space between the copper heatsink and the glass back (also known as the core or core) of the cpu or chipset is air. Air is a very poor conductor of heat. When using heat-conducting cream, it means that we have replaced that layer of air with a mixed solution that is able to conduct heat better than air. Depending on the expensive or cheap price, the heat-conducting cream is good or fake.
On the market today, most heat-conducting creams are packaged in the form of syringes, a few still use jars and bags. There are 3 main types: thermal paste containing silicon, ceramic and metal components.
Glue containing silicon : This type of glue is often sold with the default CPU heatsink and in low-quality heatsinks. This cream is the least effective. Although the price is cheap, the performance is poor, so you should limit the use of this glue.
Glue containing ceramic : High efficiency than silicone glue, cheaper price and usually in the mid-range segment.
Metallic glue: This is the best heat conductor because metal is the best conductor of heat of all materials. However, that comes with the highest price in thermal creams.
Most techniques, large centers use “big syringes” for only 15-20k with volume about 40 – 50g. With a high-priced cleaning service, you only need to invest about 100-200 k to have a good thermal paste such as Arctic Cooling MX-3, MX-4, Noctua NT-H1, CFIII or Xigmatek Freezing Point.
I myself usually use 2 types of heat-conducting cream is MX-4 and CFIII. Price 150k/tube CFIII 4g and 180k/tube MX-4 4g. Comparing the “big syringe” with the “human syringe” we see a pretty big difference. Only 15-20k we get 40-50g of heat conduction ice cream while to get 40-50g of CFIII ice cream we lose 1.5 million and MX-4 ice cream we lose nearly 2 million.
So the “big syringe” is a great choice for technicians and repair centers because it is 10 times cheaper and 10 times heavier than good thermal cream. So if we use it, the profit is 100 times more.
That’s why expensive places are cheap. The process of applying heat-conducting cream, you should pay attention to just enough, do not smear, especially if you use a cream with metal powders such as copper, silver, the more dangerous it is. Have fun guys.
