ARCTIC TP-3: Premium Performance Thermal Pad, 100 x 100 x 1.0 mm (Stackable to 2.0 mm Without Performance Loss), 1 Piece – High Performance, Particularly Soft, Ideal Gap Filler, Bridging Gaps

I needed some thermal pads for the VRAM of an iMac I was updating and found my supply had become a bit crusty. Yeah I could have just gone with thermal grease but frankly have found pads work better for applications with larger gaps between surfaces like VRAM chips and SSD blades Arctic has been a reliable brand for decades so clicked the thickness I needed and grabbed a sheet. Came with sturdy but not overly bulky packaging, easy to add to my supply kit. Pad itself is nicely presented with a cutting guide on one side for both horizontal and vertical lines which is a nice touch and made sizing easier as I’m used to just winging it with a sharpie and a ruler. Application was simple and performance is measurably better than the dried up 10 year old grease it replaced which isn’t shocking but worth mentioning.Yes there are cheaper options but Artic has never let me down and I’m more of a “do it right the first time” sort of DIY’er so rather spend a little more on a product I know isn’t going to fail me.
