Title: Why they use so much thermal paste
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 23 March 2015, 13:52:18
Less thermal paste runs "cooler" AND is "cheaper"

Why do the manufacturers put on so much at the factory ?

Yeah, too much won't kill a chip, while too little certainly will.

Do you think this may be part of their planned-obsolescence initiative?

The extra paste won't kill it right away but running much warmer over-time will the cpu and the other surrounding components faster.
