Does the intel cpu coolers usually come with the thermal pad already?
Q. I bought a intel E8500, which came with a stock cpu cooler. Im not sure if it has a thermal pad on it already- so it wouldn't need the thermal gel. How can you tell if it does or doesn't?

A. The stock cooler has thermal grease on the bottom. You can tell because it's gray-ish stuff on the copper.

Do AMD processors come with thermal pads?
Q. I'm buying a new processor, and I want to know if I need to buy thermal fluid along with it, or if it comes with cooling compound.
Asked by Danny G - Mon Sep 8 22:03:48 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you buy the retail box, it will come with thermal compund already on the CPU and a heatsink. Though most people will tell you to use aftermarket thermal compound and a new heatsink. But you don't need it unsless you are crucial about noise and overclocking and have heat issues. But normal operation you will be fine. And if you get the OEM version, you will need to get thermal compund and a heatsink. EDIT-- I miss spoke earlier. The thermal compound will actually already be on the heatsink, not the cpu.

A. if no thermal paste is used, the rate at which heat is transferred to the heat-sink diminishes. resulting in higher cpu temperatures. although if it is a seldom used computer, you can get away without using any. i had to do that on my server.

A. 1. Make sure you remove the liner on the thermal pad before mounting the heatsink to the CPU. 2. When you mount the heatsink, it better be touching the CPU. It's not going to do anything if it is not contacting the processor. 3. You have to use one or the other. Mixing a thermal pad and thermal paste makes it more difficult for the heat to dissipate into the heat sink and eventually get pushed out by the cooling fan. You are not doing it any favors here...if the paste transmits heat quicker what will happen is it will just work around the pad if it can...or sit there and fry as a hot spot and blow your CPU. If you do use the thermal compound(grease/gel or whatever) scrape the thermal pad(tape) off completely so that there is… [cont.]

Xbox 360 Thermal Pad replacement?

Asked by o3supto - Tue Jan 15 02:50:15 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Try scavenging these from old CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. There are quite a few drives that use the stuff. As for the suggestion of using rubber as a substitute, don't do that! The job of this stuff is to conduct heat from the chip to the heat sink or the heat spreader in an effort to cool it in installations where the use of thermal paste isn't practical, which is the case if the spacing between the heat spreader and the chip is too far apart. Rubber is an insulator and may not work well for this purpose since it's not an efficient conductor of heat.

can anyone reccomend these thermal pads?
Q. here are some thermal pads and i was wondering if they would work just as good as thermal grease?
Asked by blueversuviusx - Fri Apr 27 12:00:39 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I would recommend not using the thermal pads. The purpose of theramal grease is to fill the very small imperfections in the surfaces of the cpu and the heat sink. Metal to Metal contact of two perfectly flat and smooth surfaces would be ideal. With that in mind, adding a pad, even a very thin one, will only hinder heat transfer. I would suggest using a thermal past such as Arctic Silver 5, it is generally accepted as the standard for theral grease and is readily available. Applying the grease is easy and just put a small line about the size of a grain of rice in the center of your cpu and Install the heat sink.

Thermal Pads: How do I know when they are ready to use?
Q. I recently bought a new HP Pavilion Heatsink + Fan Assembly via ebay for my dv9000 series HP computer. The thing I was mainly concerned about was the thermal pads. Apparently, the pads are already on the item, but I do not know if it is ready for use or if I have to do something before applying it to my computer. I guess the same could be said for the silver part that is supposed to connect to the cpu. However, from looking around the web, some say that the pad usually has a part that you peel off before using it...but I can't tell if there is one or not.

A. A thermal pad is basically like a piece of thick tape, but it's thermally conductive. If it's stuck to the bottom of the heatsink already you just place that on top of the processor and finish mounting the heatsink (pushpins or screws, depending on the model). Remove the previous thermal pad first. That's it, you're done. Thermal grease has to be spread, or applied in a proper fashion to get good contact, which is why you found tons of hits for that, but not for thermal pads. More people use thermal grease because it's a little bit better.

Q. I have a propane fireplace that has a very deep cabinet that it sits in. It makes it perfect for putting things like the TV and so forth on. However, heat can be detrimental in this way - it gets quite warm on top when it runs for a long time - it is the only source of heat in our family room.

Q. Awhile back my computers wireless card wasnt working, so HP senf me a new wireless card, still didnt work, so they sent me a new hard drive, still no luck, then i had to send it in to them and they had to replace the mother board and thermal pad.

This may seem a little bit ridiculous but just hang with me on this one......?
Q. do u think that those thermal wrap heat pads would relieve labor pains if applied to the stomach while in labor? ya, im bored and my kids r napping. i have always wondered this... LaborDoula, i used a warm washcloth while i soaked in the warm water and it worked great, thats actually what led me to this question. thinking deeper into it, i can see that it could be dangerous. glad i cleared that up lol ;)

A. I tell my students and clients that warm compresses can relieve labor. For the back, a nice rice sock works wonders. For the belly, you need to be a bit more careful so your skin and baby doesn't get to warm, but nice warm wash cloths on the belly feel really good. Same idea with tubs and showers. The warm sensations work very well and make for good 'gate control'!
