What the pads do

Alphacool introduces these as its new thermal pads with 3W / mk. Height differences and uneven spots on coolers (heat sinks) and cooled elements are inevitable, as are the smallest grooves. All of these may be balanced by the pads, due to their very elastic adaptability under contact pressure and their low hardness.

Application

Alphacool names three areas of application: the RAM cooler of a graphics card, the voltage transformer (voltage converter) on the mainboard, and the North and / or South Bridge. For the bridges it points to what it calls the excellent thermal conductivity of the pads. As basic equipment and spare parts, it says, these thermal pads have to be a part of any enthusiast's equipment and belong in every well-organized computer workshop.

What fitting them needs

The protective film which is attached to the surface of the pads must be removed before use. The pads can also be cut to the desired size, and a pair of scissors or a sharp knife is all that takes.
