Thermal pad ARCTIC TP-3 Premium Performance 120×20 mm, 1.5 mm (4 pcs), blue

ARCTIC TP-3 Premium Performance thermal pad is a blue, 1.5 mm thick thermal interface designed to improve heat transfer between components and heatsinks. Supplied as four pads measuring 120 × 20 mm, this compliant thermal pad fills gaps and improves thermal contact on GPUs, memory modules, MOSFETs and other electronic components where a soft, conforming interface is required.

Advantages

The TP-3 pad provides consistent thermal conductivity across uneven surfaces thanks to its compliant material and 1.5 mm thickness. Its premade dimensions (120 × 20 mm) and supplied set of four pads make installation straightforward, and the blue color helps with identification during assembly. The pad offers a maintenance-free solution that eliminates the need to apply paste and minimizes the risk of mess or improper application.

Suitable for

• Graphics cards (GPU) — filling gaps between memory/MOSFETs and heatsinks
• Memory modules and VRAM cooling
• MOSFETs, power stages and VRM components
• Other PCBs and electronic assemblies requiring a conformable thermal interface

How to use

Clean the contact surfaces thoroughly to remove dust, grease or old thermal material. Cut the pad to the required size if necessary and peel off the protective film before placement. Place the TP-3 pad on the component so it fully covers the contact area, then fit the heatsink or cooling solution and secure according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure even pressure to achieve full contact without excessive compression beyond the pad’s intended thickness.

Usage recommendations

Use the thermal pad where a compliant, gap-filling interface is needed and where repeated removal is unlikely; avoid use on surfaces requiring electrically conductive interfaces. Store pads in a cool, dry place and handle by the edges to keep surfaces clean.
