Thermal pad ARCTIC TP-3 120x20mm 1mm Blue 4pcs

Ensure the lowest thermal resistance with the award-winning MX thermal compound and complementary thermal pads. The MX thermal compound is recognized for consistent high performance in benchmark tests and is formulated to provide very low thermal resistance thanks to its minimal bond line thickness. The product range also includes thermal pads in multiple designs and sizes to suit different cooling needs.

Advantages

MX thermal compound delivers low thermal resistance and strong heat transfer through a thin, stable bond line. It is easy to apply for users of all experience levels and performs reliably in comparative tests. Thermal pads provide a clean, convenient alternative for components where paste is impractical, available in various thicknesses and sizes.

Key specifications

• Type: MX high-performance thermal compound (paste) and thermal pads
• Performance: very low thermal resistance due to minimal bond line thickness
• Application: suitable for CPUs, GPUs, heatsinks and other electronic interfaces
• Ease of use: user-friendly application, suitable for beginners
• Variants: thermal pads available in multiple designs and sizes

How to use

Clean mating surfaces thoroughly before applying the MX thermal compound or installing a thermal pad. For paste, apply a small, even amount to the heat source and mount the heatsink to spread the compound into a thin bond line. For thermal pads, cut to the required size if needed and place between the components ensuring full contact. Follow component manufacturer torque and mounting guidelines to avoid uneven pressure.

Recommendations

Choose MX thermal compound when seeking the lowest possible thermal resistance for high-performance cooling. Use thermal pads for easy installation or when gap filling and electrical insulation are required. Replace thermal compound when remounting coolers or if thermal performance degrades over time.
