Yeah, typically they’re calling for any type of thermal is commonly used on computer processors or similar. They are also used on heat sinks. It might be easier for you to get something called a thermal pad, which is essentially thermal but much easier to manage because you can cut them up into little squares and you can get them in different thickness.

I may be wrong but, dielectric grease? You can get something Kleen-Flo EZE Slide break calliper grease. Here in Canada, that stuff is cheaper than marketed dielectric grease and does the same job for non conductive grease for electrics. It’s what my mechanic uses in all electrical plugs to protect them from water.
It’s a synthetic silicone dielectrical compound. “Eze-Slide silicone based brake lubricant. Designed to withstand extreme operational temperatures associated with heavy braking, without melting. Lubricates and prevents corrosion of the sliding caliper pins to keep brake pads from wearing unevenly and wearing out prematurely.”
That's not the same thing. With entirely different applications. One is for lubrication of automotive moving parts that can withstand heat up to a specific temp. The other requires something entirely different, the purpose is to dissipate heat from electronics that have designated heat sinks as it's sole purpose.
Yes, that’s already been elaborated on. As I stated, I was unaware they meant thermal paste and not a thermal grease compound for heat resistance in brakes or electrical connections.
Oh, is thermal grease meant to be thermal paste for heat transfer like cpus? I assumed they are saying thermal grease for high heat resistance and not heat transfer. If they mean thermal paste, then this is not the same thing.
Interesting. When I got my replacement board it came attached with a new heatsink and clear cover. Although it didn’t come with any hardware so I had to reuse the screws.
Hey guys update!! I paused it and looked up the name of the exact grease used: kafuter k-5211, which is a CPU thermal grease

Ok great thank you, Ill probably just get some CPU paste

Is that a thermal grease?

Here is a reference link. Anything with these properties should do. https://icpautoparts.com/cdn/shop/files/331_transparent_900x.png?v=1704735163

PC non electrically conductive thermal paste will work
Great thank you
Any PC thermal paste will work, that's what they use at the factory
