⚡ Engineering Highlights at a Glance:

• Medium Thermal Conductivity: Suitable for VRAM, VRM, and chipset cooling where moderate heat dissipation is required.
• High Compressibility: The pad compresses easily, which allows it to fill gaps where component heights vary.
• Elastic and Adaptable Surface: Because the pad conforms to uneven surfaces, it maintains contact even with slight misalignments.
• Electrically Non-Conductive: The ceramic silicon formula with nano aluminum oxide does not conduct electricity, so the pad is safe near exposed contacts and SMD components.
• Easy to Apply: Because the pad is soft and flexible, you can cut it to size with scissors and place it without adhesive.
• 120 x 20 mm Strip Format: The long, narrow format is ideal for GPU memory rows, M.2 SSD coolers, and VRM strips.
• Pack of 2 Pads: Provides 40 mm of combined length across two strips, or two independent 120 mm strips for separate applications.

Choose the Right Thickness

The correct pad thickness is critical. If the pad is too thin, contact will be poor and cooling will suffer. If the pad is too thick, it may prevent the cooler from seating properly, which can crack the die or lift the cooler off the GPU. Measure the gap between the component and the cooler before ordering, or check the manufacturer’s pad thickness specification for your model.

Cutting and Applying the Pad

Because the pad is soft, you can cut it with sharp scissors or a hobby knife. Cut slightly larger than the component footprint to ensure full coverage. Clean the target surface with isopropyl alcohol or TG Cleaning Wipes before applying the pad. Because the pad does not use adhesive, it stays in place once the cooler is mounted. Handle the pad with clean hands or tweezers to avoid contaminating it with oil or dust.

⚠️ Disclaimer

Working on a graphics card, laptop, or other electronic device involves handling delicate components. If you are not comfortable disassembling your hardware, have a qualified technician perform the service. Alfrensia is not responsible for damage caused by improper installation or handling. Always follow the instructions provided by your device manufacturer, as some manufacturers void warranties if the cooler is removed.

Minus Pad 8 is a strong choice when you need a reliable thermal pad with a known thickness that matches your component gap. For GPU VRAM and VRM cooling, the 120 x 20 mm strip size is convenient because it matches the memory row layout on many cards. For M.2 SSD cooling, the 2.0 mm thickness is a common gap size. Because the pad is highly compressible, it works well even when the gap is not perfectly uniform. Always measure the gap before ordering, since the wrong pad thickness can cause poor cooling or prevent the cooler from seating. If your gap varies widely, or if you need to fill irregular spaces, consider TG Putty instead. For CPUs, use a thermal paste, not a pad. Keep the pads in a clean, dry place before use, and handle them with clean hands to avoid contamination.
