A heat spreader is used to help draw heat from your ram. The average computer user does not need a heat spreader, but someone that has a powerful gaming computer may benefit from using it.

Where on a computer would you most likely find a heat spreader?

A heat SPREADER is typically on the RAM, and has never been factually proven to be effective without being combined with a heat SINK. As for heat SINKS... Typically CPU, Videocard, and Northbridge. But it may also appear on the South Bridge, RAM, Harddrives, I/O controllers, MOSFETs, Coprocessors, and Network Devices.

What do computer gamers want from a computer case?

The core task your computer case should do is that of cooling your computer. This is especially important when you're gaming which is heavy on the computer causing it to emit a lot of heat. After you have good heating you are going to need some cool glowing effects and designs. This is a gaming case and you may be taking it to some LAN parties and you need to show everyone you are a rockin' gamer and what a better way to do it than with a rockin' case.


What are the disadvantages of super computers?

A super computer is the same term of a high performance computer. There is only 1 disadvantage of a super computer, its how much heat it will create and how you deal with the situation. If you are gaming, you will feel the computer getting really hot and may destroy your graphics card. The only way to solve this is to insert more fans or a water cooler. If you have a lower spec PSU, it will not run these fans so you will need to buy a higher PSU.

What is thermal compound used for?

Thermal compound is used to cover the gaps between a thermal surface and a heat spreader of some sort. Typical example is between a CPU and its heat sink. Covering the minuscule holes, gaps, and scrapes on these two surfaces and forming a more solid connection drastically increases heat transfer between the two surfaces, and therefore thermal compounds serve an absolutely vital role in the computer world.
