Why an interface material between the CPU
and the heatsink?
- The surface of a CPU or a heatsink is never entirely
flat; if you place a heatsink directly on a CPU, there will
be tiny (invisible) gaps between the two. Since air conducts
heat poorly, these gaps have a very negative effect on the
heat transfer. Therefore, an interface material with a high
thermal conductivity is needed to fill these gaps, and thus
improve heat conductivity.
When is the interface material especially
important?
- The more heat your CPU produces, the more important it
is to use a good interface material. In other words, if
you're overclocking, then you especially need it.
Another important thing: The thermal conductivity from a
metal surface to another metal surface is better than from
a ceramic surface to a metal surface. Therefore, if you
have a "ceramic" CPU without the metal plate,
then thermal compound is even more important.
What are popular thermal interface materials?
- The most commonly used interface material in the electronics
cooling area is thermal compound, a sticky paste applied
directly on the heatsink or CPU. A
good-quality thermal compound will provide the best possible
performance.
