Thermal Energy
The name for the thermal energy transferred only from a higher temperature to a lower temperature is heat. Heat naturally flows from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.
Thermal energy is present when there is a difference in temperature between two objects or systems. This energy is a form of kinetic energy associated with the random motion of particles in those objects or systems. Its presence can be detected through changes in temperature or by measuring the amount of heat transfer between objects.

When two objects at the same temperature are touching each other, there is no net change in either object's thermal energy. This means that there is no overall transfer of heat energy between the objects as they are in thermal equilibrium.
The objects have reached thermal equilibrium, meaning they have equalized their temperatures by transferring heat until they are the same.
Thermal paste (thermal compound, thermal grease, silicone grease, heat paste, heat sink compound, heat sink paste, etc.) is used between high power solid state components and their heatsinks to increase the thermal conductivity between the component and the heatsink, thereby better cooling those components. Some high power solid state components in a computer that might require thermal paste are: power supply voltage regulators, graphics processing units (GPU), microprocessors, microprocessor support chips, etc.
When two objects are touching each other and are the same temperature, heat energy will not flow from one object to the other. This is because there is no temperature difference to drive the transfer of heat. The objects will reach thermal equilibrium, where the average kinetic energy of their particles is the same.
Thermal paste is used between two objects to get better heat conduction by filling in the microscopic air gaps. It is better than air at conducting heat but metals are much better at it. There are three types of metal paste: Metal based paste, ceramic based paste and silicone based paste.
The transfer of heat energy between two touching objects is called conduction. This process occurs as a result of direct contact between the objects, leading to the transfer of thermal energy from the object with higher temperature to the one with lower temperature.
The answer to this question is no. Radiation can occur when objects are not touching
The process that transfers energy from one object to another when they are touching is called conduction. This occurs as a result of direct contact between the objects, allowing thermal energy to move from the warmer object to the cooler object until they reach thermal equilibrium.
Thermal energy travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when two or more objects of different temperatures are touching each other. The heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler object, until the objects reach equal temperatures. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through a moving liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy though matter and space.
Thermal paste typically settles within 200 hours of use. During this time, the paste starts to spread out and fill in any gaps between the CPU and the heatsink, providing better thermal conductivity. It's best to allow the system to run for a few hours to reach optimal performance after applying thermal paste.
Heat flows from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature when they are in contact. This process continues until both objects reach thermal equilibrium, where their temperatures are equal.
