Discover the Minus Pad Extreme 2.0mm

Engineered for maximum performance, the Minus Pad Extreme employs an advanced silicone-based formula for potentially class-leading thermal conductivity in a pad format. Furthermore, its distinctive soft, modeling clay-like consistency allows the Minus Pad Extreme 2.0mm pad to achieve maximum compression upon installation. Consequently, it perfectly conforms to component surfaces, effectively filling 2.0mm gaps and eliminating air pockets for superior heat transfer.

This makes the pad exceptionally well-suited for cooling critical, high-heat components like motherboard voltage regulators (VRMs), graphics card memory chips (VRAM), SSD controllers, and other ICs where a precise 2.0mm gap needs to be bridged effectively. The Minus Pad Extreme 2.0mm thickness targets these common yet demanding scenarios. Moreover, its electrically insulating properties ensure complete safety during application near sensitive circuitry. Please remember: due to its unique consistency, Thermal Grizzly recommends this pad for one-time use only. Explore compatible motherboards or graphics cards here.

The Minus Pad Extreme also guarantees long-term stability and reliability, featuring a formula that prevents bleeding over time. While specific thermal conductivity values (W/mK) are not published by Thermal Grizzly, the significant stated improvement over their already respected Minus Pad 8 clearly indicates the high-performance nature of the Minus Pad Extreme 2.0mm. It’s the choice for enthusiasts seeking the best possible thermal pad solution for 2.0mm gaps. Find other enthusiast cooling products.
