Thermal compound is usually applied to a CPU's heat sink to allow heat from the CPU to be transferred to the heat sink more effectively. The most commonly used brand by PC enthusiasts is Arctic Silver 5, a silver-based compound that transfers heat extremely well due to it's metallic base.

Which of the following materials normally warm up fastest when heat is applied?
iron
Does iron normally warm up faster when heat is applied?
Does iron warm up when you heat it? Yes, yes it does.
What normally warms up faster when heat is applied?
Objects with a lower specific heat capacity (mass for mass) will raise their temperature the same amount with less energy input.
Which warms up faster when heat is applied iron or silver?
Silver. because silver is good conductor of heat.
Does mass increase as heat is applied?
No. Mass does not increase as heat is applied. Mass is the amount of matter in a body and cannot be changed by any physical or chemical process. Volume will increase when heat is applied.
Is stainless a good conductor of heat?
Not particularly good, but adequate. Stainless steel cookware is normally copper plated to help spread the heat more uniformly, otherwise the heat will be more pronounced and somewhat locally, directly over the heat source.
What happens to the density of a fluid when heat is applied?
The density of a fluid goes down (becomes less dense) when heat is applied.
Which matter is the conducter of electric but insulater of heat?
Normally, materials which are good conductors of electricity are also good conductors of heat. This is because both electrical conductivity and heat conductivity is enhanced by mobile electrons, thus making metals both good electrical conductors and good heat conductors. However, I do not know if there might be an exception...
Why does water heat up quickly if the heat is applied from the bottom?
Heat goes up
Does an electric heater do the opposite of a thermocouple?
In effect it does. Electricity applied to the heater produces heat. Heat applied to the thermocouple produces electricity.
What is the mathematical relationship between heat dissipation and applied voltage?
Heat dissipation = (applied voltage)2 / total effective resistance of the circuit
What will happen to iron if heat is applied?
it melts
