A:AnswerYes I will help the heat sink absorb heat from the processor. Unfortunately the processor will always produce heat as long as the system is in use. Keeping the fan and internal contents clean dust free will reduce overheating. Think air flow!
A:AnswerI used some on a 80gb backwards compatible ps3 and it seems to have worked very well so far so good..I used to not read instructions for years but I have gotten into the habit of reading all instructions as of recent years and upon reading the instructions for this product I learned that you really only need not much more than the drop of a dime per side ( you can use more if your not comfortable) but from my understanding it's a waste to .a side note if you tackle the job yourself I would recommend to do as suggested and clean the area very well with alcohol to get the old residue off completely then apply the new also there are two more spots that need under the little towers that you should probably apply this to since your already this far into it .steady handy and patience is the key to doing the job right and I'm a very impatient person so if you have to take a break and don't get mad like I do and good luck I hope this helps someone
A:AnswerYes, the Thermaltake TG-7 Thermal Grease does contain silica. Silica is commonly used in thermal greases to enhance thermal conductivity and improve heat transfer between the CPU and the heatsink. If you are specifically looking for a silicone-free thermal grease option, you may need to explore other products that are specifically labeled as silicone-free or inquire with the manufacturer or retailer for alternative options.
