What thermal paste is installed on CPU?

Apple does not use graphite thermal pads! They use a low quality non-conductive thermal paste.

Here’s a bit more on Graphite Pads vs. Thermal Paste: Which Is Better? I can list off a good hand full of reports which support the fact this is not workable as much as people wanted it to work.

I don’t recommend any pad on CPU or GPU chips, both are way to hot and the thermal transfer needed is just not there! There is a lot to this that makes this hard to understand why.

Stick with a non-conductive, not damaging thermal paste. I find Arctic Silver Thermal Paste is all thats needed.
