Thermal Grizzly thermal pad Minus Pad 8 — 100×100×1.0 mm, 2 pieces

Thermal Grizzly thermal pad Minus Pad 8 is a set of two thermal interface pads sized 100×100×1.0 mm designed to transfer heat between components and heatsinks in PC cooling assemblies, electronics and power modules. The Minus Pad 8 provides a compliant, solid thermal interface for surfaces that are uneven or where a grease would be difficult to apply or maintain. Supplied as two sheets, these pads are intended to bridge gaps, improve thermal contact and reduce hot spots in assemblies where a fixed-thickness pad is preferred.

Advantages

The Minus Pad 8 offers stable thermal conduction with a uniform thickness of 1.0 mm, simplifying gap management between components and heatsinks. Its compliant material accommodates minor surface irregularities, improving contact without the mess of paste. The pads are easy to handle and cut to size if needed, and they provide a long-term, maintenance-free interface compared with repeated reapplication of thermal grease.

Suitable for

• PC CPU and GPU cooling where fixed-thickness pads are required
• Cooling of power modules, MOSFETs and VRMs on motherboards
• Heat transfer between electronic components and custom heatsinks or cases
• Prototyping and repair tasks that require consistent thermal spacing

Key specifications

• Quantity: 2 pieces
• Dimensions: 100 × 100 mm per pad
• Thickness: 1.0 mm
• Material type: compliant thermal interface pad (solid sheet)
• Primary function: thermal conduction and gap filling between component and heatsink

How to use

Clean both mating surfaces to remove dust, oils and old thermal compounds. Measure and cut the pad to the required shape if necessary, using scissors or a sharp blade on a flat surface. Peel off the protective liners as applicable and place the pad between the component and heatsink, aligning it to cover the contact area. Reassemble the cooling assembly and apply even pressure to ensure proper contact. No curing or additional application is required; the pad functions immediately after installation.

Usage recommendations

Choose the 1.0 mm thickness where a fixed, moderate gap needs to be filled; for very thin gaps or maximum thermal conductivity, consider thinner interface materials. Avoid stretching the pad during installation and ensure surfaces are dry and free of contaminants for optimal thermal contact. For high-vibration environments check mechanical securing of the heatsink to keep constant pressure on the pad.
