ARCTIC TP-3 thermal pad 100 x 100 x .5 mm

What it is and who needs it

The ARCTIC TP-3 is a premium thermal pad designed to fill gaps between components and heatsinks. It suits PC builders, laptop owners and console modifiers who need reliable heat transfer for memory modules, chipsets or graphics-card ICs.

Build quality and daily handling

The silicone-based material is extremely soft and mouldable, allowing it to conform to uneven surfaces and bridge height differences between closely spaced chips. It contains no metal particles, is electrically insulating and non-capacitive, so accidental contact with circuitry causes no damage. The pad can be cut to the exact shape required for each application.

Thermals, noise and power in use

By minimising thermal resistance through its thin profile and high compressibility, the pad conducts heat efficiently without adding mechanical stress. It also provides vibration damping while maintaining stable thermal performance across the operating temperature range. No power is drawn and no noise is generated during operation.
