ModMyMods Pure Copper Thermal Pad 15mm x 15mm x 0.5mm cpu accessory

SKU CH-GSWR-FAXZ3

Pure copper shim replaces rubber pads to lower video chipset temperatures

  • Key featuresReplace your current rubber pad with this Thermal Pure Coppe
  • Pure copper construction transfers heat efficiently from the chipset
  • 15 mm square footprint fits many video-card shim locations
  • 5 mm thickness bridges the gap without excessive pressure
  • Replaces soft rubber pads that degrade and lose contact over time
  • Universal compatibility suits a wide range of GPU and chipset models

Pure Copper Thermal Shim 15mm

This pure copper thermal pad measures 15mm by 15mm with a 0.5mm thickness. It replaces standard rubber pads on video chipsets to improve heat transfer. The shim suits builders who want a simple thermal upgrade without liquid metal. It is not for users needing larger surface coverage or thicker gap filling.

Thermals and Power Draw

Copper conducts heat far better than rubber or silicone alternatives. The thin profile minimises thermal resistance between the die and heatsink. No power is drawn and no noise is generated because the pad has no moving parts. It is not for scenarios requiring electrical insulation between components.

Bundled Accessories Impact

The package contains only the single copper shim with no extra mounting hardware or software. Installation relies on existing cooler pressure to hold the pad in place. No configuration or driver updates are needed after fitting. It is not for builders expecting a kit with thermal paste or cleaning wipes.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 15mm copper shim on my GPU, and what mistake should I avoid?

Remove the old rubber pad, clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, then place the 0.5mm copper shim directly on the die — do not apply liquid metal or paste between shim and die, as the copper needs direct contact to spread heat.

Will the copper pad degrade or need replacement over time?

Copper does not dry out or pump out like thermal paste; the shim lasts indefinitely unless physically bent or corroded, so no scheduled replacement is required.

What thermal limit appears first when the shim runs under sustained load?

The 0.5mm thickness and 15mm footprint limit total heat capacity, so the shim saturates quickly and the GPU hits its thermal throttle point before the copper itself becomes a bottleneck.
