Caring for your computer is an important thing that is often forgotten and neglected. From here we meet with the main problems that comprehend the system. And it’s good that if the processes that happened are reversible, when you can clean the board from dust, lubricate the cooler and change the thermal grease, and everything will work. It’s much worse when one of the devices burns out, or the whole system.
What is it?
Before proceeding to how to find out the expiration date of thermal paste, you need to understand what it is and what is the purpose. So, thermal grease is a kind of “ointment” for the computer, which has a heat-releasing composition, contributes to effective heat transfer between the element, which is heated and the radiator. As a result, if there is a high load on the processor or video card so that they do not burn out, this heat is removed through thermal grease and the heatsink, and then it is accelerated by the cooler.

The shelf life of the product may also depend on the correct application. If you covered the processor not according to the rules, then not only expose the chip to danger of overheating, but also spoil the part of the paste that you applied. It is important to know that you don’t need to apply a lot of substance, usually it’s a little more than an apple seed, but you need to spread this entire volume with a thin layer over the entire metal surface of the processor.
