It's like the coolant (anti-freeze) in a car. If they were not cooled they would simply burn themselves up. The main chips in computers, game consoles, etc. It's there to transfer heat from the APU to the heatsink. Everything written here (and on most of our website) comes from our experience. We've repaired hundreds of PS4's and Xbox One game consoles and in most of those repairs we've removed the old thermal paste and applied new paste when reassembling the device. I'm coming from the angle of an experienced repair person. I do, however, know what it's for and what needs to be done to make it work correctly. I don't make it or study it and I don't even know that much about the paste itself.

I want to take some time here to talk a bit about thermal paste and clear up some of the myths floating around. Unfortunately, we live in a world where anyone with a camera and internet connection can make a video, blog post, or website about whatever they want.and, even more unfortunate, many people believe them. I highly encourage people to ask questions until they are comfortable with the answers.

Now please keep in mind that I'm not putting anyone down or making fun of them for asking the question. These are just a few examples of things we have heard. We hear this one all the time.things like "My PS4 won't turn on, is it from bad thermal paste?" or "Will old thermal paste cause my console to not show a picture on the TV?".
