Thermal pad ARCTIC TP-3 Premium Performance 200x100 mm 1 mm Blue

The ARCTIC TP-3 Premium Performance thermal pad (200 x 100 mm, 1 mm) is a blue thermal interface material designed for efficient heat transfer in electronic devices. Supplied as a pack of two, it provides a reusable solution for bridging gaps between heat-generating components and heatsinks. The pad complements ARCTIC's line of thermal products and is suitable where a reliable, non-liquid interface is preferred over paste.

Advantages

The TP-3 pad provides consistent thermal conductivity with a fixed thickness of 1 mm, eliminating the need to control bond line thickness during application. Its soft, conformable material adapts to surface irregularities to ensure good contact, and the pre-cut sheet format simplifies placement and trimming for various component sizes. Being non-conductive and easy to handle, it reduces the risk of damage during installation compared to liquid compounds.

Suitable for

• Filling gaps between CPUs/GPUs and heatsinks where a 1 mm pad is required
• Thermal coupling for VRMs, memory modules, and power components
• Custom cooling solutions and retrofits in desktop and small-form-factor systems

How to use

Turn off and unplug the device before starting. Remove old thermal material and clean contact surfaces with isopropyl alcohol. Cut the pad to the required shape and size if necessary, peel off the protective film, and place the pad onto the component so it covers the contact area evenly. Reassemble the heatsink or cooling assembly and secure it according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure firm, even pressure across the pad.

Usage recommendations

For best results, verify that the gap matches the 1 mm thickness or trim the pad accordingly. Avoid stretching the pad and ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Because the pad is non-liquid and non-conductive, it is suitable for use near exposed circuitry, but always follow the device manufacturer's service guidelines.
