Thermal paste transfers the heat produce by the processer to the cooler base of the CPU or GPU. It works almost with every cooler use in computers like Air cooler, AIO cooler, or a liquid cooler. As per computer professional, we have to change thermal paste after every year use of the system to make it works smoothly. Moreover, if it is not changed, then it may harm your system and impact the CPU & GPU performance. The most critical part of changing the thermal paste is removing it. So in this guide, we will learn about removing thermal paste from your CPU or GPU and replacing it with a new one.
The heating of the CPU and GPU is one of the common and major issues in computers. But, unfortunately, we always neglected the horrible sound and the abnormal heat coming from our CPU and GPU components. Thermal paste is a clever solution to control the heat and provide cooling to the components of CPU & GPU by the manufacturers. Still, as we use our system to run heavy software or play high-end graphics games, the system generates heat, and the thermal paste is needed to be check and replaced from time to time.
How to Remove Thermal Paste From Your CPU or GPU?
Removing the thermal paste is mostly used to decrease the heat and increase the system’s life, but it’s not an easy task as it concerns opening up and de-assembling the system hardware. Therefore, we need to follow the process carefully. Here we learn step by step process to remove the thermal paste from CPU/GPU.
After a certain period of usage, the thermal paste turns hard and becomes unable to transfer the heat required. Due to this, your system will run slow, heat up frequently, and you will notice a performance decrease of your system. One side effect of failed thermal paste is your CPU and GPU running fans constantly dissipate heat and making a lot of nice in the process. So if this is something you are currently facing, then this is the right time to remove the thermal paste from your CPU and GPU and replace it with a new one.
