GELID GC1 Thermal Compound ( -at -) DriverHeaven.net

“Modern processors produce a lot of heat and it requires large heatsinks
with fans to keep everything running to specification. Thermal paste is one
of the most critical components for keeping your processor cool, especially
for those of us who overclock. The surfaces of processors and heatsink bases
may appear to be completely flat to the naked eye but on a microscopic level
there are many imperfections. These imperfections create air pockets between
the cooler and the CPU which can have a great effect on thermal performance.
This reduces the size of the contact area and air is a poor heat conductor.”



Thanks
