Some people will say that you need it, but I have never used them. If your insulation is good enough, you should have no use for them.

Its for the back of the CPU socket to keep it from freezing.

I personally think its a gimick and will only add to your PC's heat. If everything is insulated properly it shouldnt be a problem

Dielectric grease is your friend in this situation. Grease the back of the cpu socket, especially all the solder points, then some insulation and you will be set to go.

I got problems with condensation on my mis board on the back without it. I was using neopreme and not using it did not drop the CPU temp at all. I use it now.
