Thermal pad Alphacool Rise Ultra Soft 7W/mk 50x50x2mm

The Alphacool Rise Ultra Soft 7W/mk 50x50x2mm thermal pad is a grey, soft thermal interface material engineered for efficient heat transfer between electronic components and cooling solutions. With a thermal conductivity of 7 W/m·K and a thickness of 2 mm, the pad fills gaps and surface irregularities to improve contact between heat sources and heatsinks, water blocks, or cold plates. Its 50 x 50 mm size suits medium-sized components while the soft material allows for easy shaping and placement without applying excessive pressure.

Advantages

The pad provides high thermal conductivity to accelerate heat dissipation and lower operating temperatures. Its ultra-soft composition ensures good conformity to uneven surfaces, reducing thermal resistance caused by microscopic air gaps. The 2 mm thickness is suitable for bridging moderate gaps while the neutral grey color is unobtrusive in visible builds. The material is electrically non-conductive and designed for long-term stability under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Thermal interface between chips, power stages, MOSFETs and heatsinks
• Filling gaps in water-cooling blocks and cold plates
• Cooling modules in compact or custom PC builds
• Thermal management for industrial control electronics and power supplies

Key specifications

• Thermal conductivity: 7 W/m·K
• Dimensions (approx.): 50 x 50 mm
• Thickness: 2 mm
• Color: grey
• Material type: ultra-soft thermal interface pad
• Electrical behavior: non-conductive

How to use

Clean both mating surfaces to remove dust, grease, or old thermal interface material before applying the pad. Cut the pad to the required shape if necessary, then place it on the component so it fully covers the contact area. Align the heatsink or cooling element and apply even pressure to ensure full contact and compression of the pad. Re-check alignment after initial installation and secure the cooling solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use the pad where gap-filling and gentle compression are required; avoid applications where abrasive movement or sharp edges could damage the pad. Store unused portions in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight. Replace the pad if it becomes contaminated, compressed beyond recovery, or shows signs of degradation to maintain optimal thermal performance.
