With the continuous improvement of electronic device performance, the overheating problem in the gaming console field is becoming increasingly prominent. A high-performance gaming console, whose processor and graphics card generate a large amount of heat during long-term high load operation, which can easily cause overheating and affect the gaming experience, shortening the device's lifespan. Therefore, the synergistic application of thermal conductive silicone sheets and thermal conductive silicone grease has become an ideal solution to solve the heat dissipation problem of game consoles.
The thermal conductive material for game consoles mainly uses a combination of thermal conductive silicone sheets and thermal conductive silicone grease to improve heat dissipation efficiency by filling the small gaps between the CPU/GPU and the heat sink.
Thermal conductive silicone sheet
Thermal conductive silicone sheets have high thermal conductivity, soft elasticity, and insulation properties, which can fill the gaps between components and heat sinks, reducing air thermal resistance. Its advantages include:
Quickly conduct heat and form a complete heat dissipation path
Adapt to complex heat dissipation structures and have strong stability
Good reusability, not easily decomposed at high temperature
Thermal grease
Thermal grease is mainly used to fill small gaps and improve thermal conductivity efficiency through silicone oil substrates. Features include:
Viscous structure that can penetrate small gaps
Easy to operate, suitable for local heat dissipation optimization
Regular replacement is required to maintain thermal conductivity
When used in conjunction, the silicone sheet is responsible for conducting heat over a large area, while the silicone grease supplements small gaps to jointly improve heat dissipation efficiency. For example, in PS4 and other hosts, this combination can reduce the impact of temperature fluctuations on components and maintain stable device operation.
