You can remove the RAM heatsink, but it is not recommended. The RAM heatsink is there to help dissipate heat from the RAM chips. If you remove it, the RAM chips will run hotter and may overheat.
Toothpaste can be used as a thermal paste in a pinch, but it is not ideal. Toothpaste is not as conductive as purpose-built thermal pastes, so it will not transfer heat as effectively. In addition, toothpaste can be difficult to spread evenly, which can impact its performance. For best results, use a purpose-built thermal paste.
No, laptops cannot work without heatsink. The heatsink is necessary to dissipate heat away from the CPU and other components in order to keep the laptop from overheating.
If you're wondering whether or not you need a heatsink for your CPU, the short answer is yes. A heatsink helps to dissipate heat away from the CPU, which helps to keep it cool and prevents it from overheating. Without a heatsink, the CPU can overheat and become damaged.

I chose to try this thermal paste after reading test results from many tech websites and considering my experiences with previous thermal pastes. My findings are as follows:1. The application of this one is better. Although the provided spatula is a great addition, I don't believe it is necessary. I am aware that comments over the application of thermal paste may get contentious, but it seems to me that this paste in particular benefits from the "large blob" method due to its consistency. Please don't flame me if you worship at another thermal paste application method altar.2. There are at least four uses for this tiny tube. Huge GPU dies and large IHSs are included in this as well. even if you use it like that character from The Verge. Please, don't be that person!3.) This paste has excellent thermal performance. There are pastes that are 2C better, but only if you pay more money for less product and/or have to put in some effort to use it.4. Given its non-drying properties, I would feel confident utilizing the remaining portion of this tube in a year or two. I've thrown away a lot of half-full tubes because the piece in the syringe tip had hardened. The dried portion could be removed by making a hole in the tip, but I would rather not take the chance of my thermal interface being compromised by a minuscule blob of hard paste. I'm sure I'll use up every last drop of this product in this tube someday.5.) My outcomes (at an ambient 22°C):i7-5820k @1.32V, 4.7 GHz (first): 27C at idle, 70C at maximum AIDA64 load. Yes, that might sound excessive, but that CPU has a monster overclock on it and was a monster CPU for its time. That is forcing a 140W part with almost 250W of power. I was getting closer to 30C at idle and 90C under load while I was using a Dark Rock Pro 3. Naturally, I was unable to achieve such a high overclock on air at all.b) GTX 1080 at 2025 GHz, memory at 11,400 GHz, effective at 26 °C in idle and 40 °C under load. Previously, I was getting 35°C at idle and 85°C at load (with the factory air cooler) (with thermal throttling occurring frequently)6.) The supplied spatula is quite helpful for mixing epoxy, even if in my religion it is not necessary.The following are some aspects of this thermal paste that I don't like:It's not RGB, for one. I need thermal paste in RGB.2. It has an awful flavor.3. It is ineffective as a method of birth control.You should, however, strictly adhere to the intended use. If you do, the outcomes will satisfy you.I'm ordering more now that I'm almost out. The 4g size is perfect if you only have one or two chores to do and want to have some on hand. Get the 8g size if you are anything like me. If you use the appropriate Amazon listing, they are each about $10.

Since I purchased the laptop, PCH and NVMe temperatures have consistently been quite high due to the components' confined area, lack of a heatsink, and extreme compression.I opted to buy a set of these heatsinks after realizing they could solve my laptop's thermal issues after getting my Raspberry Pi a couple of months ago.The PCH, which would run REALLY hot under some workloads, was next to the NVMe drive as the latter would throttle at 90C, which isn't particularly good performance-wise (95-100C, scary I know).Since it presumably contains all the sizes I require, I choose to get this mix set. I placed one of the larger heatsinks on top of the controller after removing the NVMe OEM label, as seen in the image ( biggest offender in temps). I tried two of the larger heatsinks on top of the FLASH memory after using two of the smaller ones side by side on what I think to be the integrated DRAM. However, I swapped them out for the flat copper shims in the kit owing to clearance concerns.I initially tried using a small heatsink on top of the dye on my PCH, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. A few days later, I made the decision to repaste my CPU, and I also made the decision to attempt to improve the PCH heat transfer. In order to have a surface to stick it to, I kept the thermal adhesive surrounding the deleted center section and applied a small amount of Kryonaut there.Following these minor modifications, my NVMe controller and PCH both maintain temperatures of 70 to 75 degrees, which, in my opinion, is extremely satisfactory.This set, which is composed of copper and should provide the best performance, is strongly recommended if you don't really care about how your laptop's interior appears.The improvement in temperature makes me really delighted.

It is common knowledge that overheated computer components throttle themselves. In essence, the components will slow down to cease heating up. You don't want anything to catch on fire, so that's a good thing! Additionally undesirable, your performance declines!M.2 slots have a bad reputation for being hot. However, the generation of cooling is a wonderful answer. Installation takes five minutes in total. Consider this food primarily as a sandwich that has been chilled. You will sandwich your m.2 device between a thermal pad, which resembles a really squishy piece of chewing gum. The metal that absorbs heat and aids in cooling down your gadget is also on top.In comparison to the cost of the device it is cooling, it is inexpensive. It comes with 7 screws (you only need 6), 3 thermal pads (you only need 2), and a screwdriver. WHATEVER YOU NEED- Has a variety of colors, so choose the one that matches your theme. - I'm now using it with my NVME device, and the installation has cooled it by at least ten degrees.Cons - No guidance. In order to understand setup, I had to read reviews. However, some reviewers mentioned a pink thermal pad? Maybe, but all of mine were blue. Even a straightforward diagram would be useful.

In order to build a Frankenstein's Monster PS4 out of two broken ones (which did work, so I'm proud of that), I had to buy the cheapest thermal paste I could find in the smallest quantity. A HUGE WINNER, THIS! The paste itself is unquestionably on par, as is the presentation and packaging. Even though I finished my boredom project and still have more than half a tube, I would definitely purchase again.

I have an AMD FX CPU that is older. I've slightly overclocked it. not significantly. I had been using a good Zalman air cooler with Antec Nano Diamond Thermal Paste. The weather was good. However, the environment around my PC is rather dry and a little bit dusty. As a result, I completely break everything down, clean it, and rebuild it around once a year. Around that time, my thermal paste usually starts to feel a little dry. Therefore, as long as it functions nearly as well as the paste and is reusable, it is worth buying merely for the ease of usage. Does it then? Yes. In my use situation, it actually works better than classic paste under light loads like daily use or online browsing. It performs approximately the same under gaming load, if not slightly better. However, with a small margin of error, it is roughly the same. In light of all the other advantages, I find that to be incredible. It's nice that it's there and that I won't have to think about it again. My CPU is also reusable, so I won't have to worry about cleanup or anything if I ever update or need to access it. I've never been happier.Benefits: Graphite is easy to install, clean, recyclable, and prevents dangerous "hot spots" because it is excellent at transferring HUGE quantities of heat throughout its surface area. As a result, the heat is more uniformly dispersed over the pad's whole surface when left to run.Cons: Initial outlay

I've just finished cleaning and polishing my GPU. Geforce GTX 970 FTW Edition from EVGAI disassembled everything completely and used 91% rubbing alcohol, an air duster, and a new paintbrush (adding more dusting) to clean everything. I cleaned off the old thermal compound and reapply some of the new Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut compound to the back and mid plates, heatsink, mainboard, and fans.22 degrees Celsius for the pre-cleaning temperature; 50 degrees Celsius for idling; and 91 degrees Celsius for load (100% fan).Since I was exceeding the thermal restrictions and underclocking the GPU, which was becoming quite hot, I lost over 200 MHz of my boost clock.After washing and detailing, apply Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut using the finger-spread method and smooth it down with a spatula.33 degrees Celsius at idle and 59 degrees Celsius when under load (with a 60% fan) in a room that is 22 degrees Celsius.Additionally, I now have access to my boost clock and may once more overclock this device.Runs cooler than when I first got it brand-new, fresh from the factory packaging. (If memory serves, it was brand-new and operating at a load temperature of about 70 to 75 degrees Celsius.)To put it simply, I did not anticipate the outcomes to be this encouraging. Granted, the manufacturing thermal compound had burned out and the area was filthy and covered with dust bunnies.The only tiny drawback to this substance, in my opinion, is that it's a little harder to deal with. Definitely a little thicker and more difficult to spread than materials like IC Diamond or Artic Silver. However, applying it still only took me a few of minutes.Overall, I couldn't be more pleased!Many of my temperature reductions, as other commenters have noted, were probably brought on by the cleaning, which is fair. Unfortunately, I didn't do a controlled experiment using only cleaning to determine this. However, I will admit that the thermal paste that came with this device out of the box was really dry and burned. But I'm unsure of the exact impact either had on the outcome.

After only a few months of ownership, the stock thermal paste on my i7 8750H on my Asus ROG Strix Scar edition laptop caused core temperatures to reach the mid-90 degree Celsius range. I initially contacted the manufacturer, but they didn't seem eager to help, so I made the decision to swap out the default thermal paste with what was supposed to be the best non-conductive thermal paste available, and I was pleasantly delighted by the results! My core's temperature fell by 20 degrees Celsius! Although there may have been a mounting issue with the cooler from the manufacturer, I'm very confident it was the inferior standard thermal paste given how slowly the temperatures increased over a short period of time. The temperatures have been fantastic ever since I changed it! A
RAM chips, like any other electronic component, can get hot if they are used for extended periods of time or if they are overclocked. However, most RAM chips have heat spreaders that help dissipate heat, so they typically don’t get too hot. If your RAM chips are getting too hot, you can try adding more cooling to your system or reducing the amount of time that the chips are active.
RAM, or random access memory, is a vital component of any computer. It is used to store data that the CPU needs to access quickly. RAM is located on the motherboard and is usually made up of small, square chips. Heatsinks are devices that are used to dissipate heat. They are usually made of metal or plastic and have fins or other features that help to increase the surface area that is in contact with the air. Heatsinks are used to cool CPUs, GPUs, and other components that generate a lot of heat. You may need a RAM
DDR3 RAM does not need a heatsink, because it does not generate as much heat as DDR2 or DDR1 RAM. However, if you are overclocking your DDR3 RAM, then you may need a heatsink to help dissipate the extra heat.
Thermal paste does not expire, but it can degrade over time. This degradation can be caused by a number of factors, including exposure to air, UV light, and extreme temperatures. If your thermal paste is more than a few years old, it is probably best to replace it.
Heatsinks are made from a variety of materials, the most common being aluminium and copper. The manufacturing process begins with a large aluminium or copper ingot which is then cut into smaller pieces using a saw or water jet. These smaller pieces are then placed into a furnace and heated to around 1000 degrees Celsius. Once the pieces are hot enough, they are placed into a die where they are shaped into the final heatsink design. After this, the heatsinks are cooled and then anodized to improve their durability and appearance.
A heatsink is a device used to dissipate heat from an electronic or mechanical component. Heatsinks are used with high-power semiconductor devices such as power transistors and optoelectronics such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), where the heat dissipation is required to be very efficient. To clean a heatsink, first remove it from the component it is cooling. If the heatsink is attached with screws, unscrew them and carefully remove the heatsink. If the heatsink is attached with thermal compound, gently pry it off.
