Alphacool Rise Ultra Soft Thermal Pad 7W/mk 100x100x0.5mm

The Rise Ultra Soft are Alphacool's performance-oriented solution in the range of thermal pads. Due to their outstanding properties, they can almost be compared to thermal paste. The Rise Ultra Soft thermal pads conform much better to components, contributing to a significant improvement in cooling performance.

Better than standard thermal pads? The material of the Rise Ultra Soft thermal pads behaves similarly to thermal paste. The consistency of the pads prevents the highest components, such as voltage converters or VRMs, from being subjected to increased contact pressure from the cooler. In extreme cases, this pressure can cause PCBs to bend. The Rise Ultra Soft pads fill unevenness much better, conform better against the components, and thus significantly increase the heat transfer between the cooler and the component.

But that is not the only advantage! The special material also does not dry out. Typically, the silicone of heat-conducting pads deteriorates over time, causing them to harden and resulting in a rapid drop in performance after a certain point. This is not the case with the Rise Ultra Soft thermal pads. They can be used for a much longer period without significantly losing performance.

Cutting to size? No problem! When cutting the heat-conducting pads to size, it is essential to leave the foil on the pads. This makes it easy to cut the pads to size with scissors, just as easy as cutting paper. The cut edges remain perfectly clean and do not fray.

The Alphacool Rise Ultra Soft thermal pads offer better performance than standard thermal pads in many respects and are a perfect replacement for old or underperforming pads.
