Thermal paste is difficult to apply at large scale. It's cheaper and easier to use the thermal pads, even though they kind of suck. This is also why the stock cooler that came with your CPU came with one of those stupid pads. The alternative is to use the paste and end up with the shitshow that was the nVidia 8000 series GPU debacle. People pulling them apart were uniformly aghast at the quality of the paste job, usually with big blobs of the stuff smeared all around the chips. |
