Detailed explanation-1: -What is the purpose of a heat sink? A CPU is prone to overheating because some of its components product heat. Without the heatsink, the heat generated by the components stay in your CPU, which will burn or fry it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thermal adhesive or thermal paste improve the heat sink’s performance by filling air gaps between the heat sink and the heat spreader on the device. A heat sink is usually made out of aluminium or copper.
Detailed explanation-3: -The components that generate the most heat in your computer are the CPU (central processing unit), video card (if your computer has one), and the power supply.
