Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thermal paste is used between the heat sink and CPU to improve heat transfer efficiency by filling in any tiny gaps or irregularities between the two surfaces. Using thermal paste between the heat sink and fan or between the CPU and motherboard is unnecessary and may even impede heat transfer. And using thermal paste between the motherboard and RAM is not applicable as there is no direct contact between these components.
