ARCTIC TP-2 Thermal Pad, 290 x 290 x 1 mm - ACTPD00018A

This is a thermal pad Arctic TP-2 with a size of 290 x 290 x 1 mm – a large sheet that you can cut exactly according to the needs of the GPU, VRM, memory, or other components. It is positioned as a practical cooling solution for upgrades or servicing if you want better contact between the chips and the heatsink compared to old, hardened pads. The thermal conductivity of 6.0 W/mK is completely adequate for a wide range of situations – from office machines to more demanding hardware. The color is blue, which facilitates visual inspection during installation.

What you get: one large thermal pad sheet that you can cut into exactly the pieces you need – without having to buy many separate small pads. The thickness of 1.0 mm is a commonly used standard for cooling memory chips and VRM modules when you have slight height differences between components and the heatsink. The hardness of 80 Shore OO means that the material is soft enough to fill in the unevenness well, but not so soft that it tears easily during installation. The combination of size, thickness, and thermal conductivity gives you a stable base for even pressure and good thermal contact.

• Large format 290 x 290 mm allows you to cut a thermal pad for several cards, laptops, or other devices from one sheet.
• Standard thickness of 1.0 mm, suitable for common gaps between chips and heatsinks in GPU, VRM, and memory modules.
• Thermal conductivity of 6.0 W/mK, which ensures effective heat transfer under normal and more serious loads.
• Hardness of 80 Shore OO, balanced between softness for good adherence and durability during installation and removal.
• Type thermal pad – solid but compressible solution that does not make a mess and is easier to work with than liquid thermal paste on small chips.
• Manufacturer Arctic, known for cooling products and PC maintenance consumables.
• Color blue, which makes it easy to see exactly where you placed the pad and whether it covers the needed area.

Who it is suitable for: if you are assembling or servicing GPUs, mini PCs, consoles, laptops, or other devices and want control over the size and shape of the thermal pads, this sheet gives you flexibility. It is also suitable for service centers or enthusiasts who regularly change pads and do not want to be limited to factory sizes. It is not the most suitable choice if you are looking for ultra-high thermal conductivity with an extreme focus on overclocking.

The combination of large size, 1.0 mm thickness, and 6.0 W/mK makes Arctic TP-2 a practical, versatile choice for serious yet rational cooling maintenance and upgrades.
