1. Alphacool Core Thermal Pad Soft 9W/mk 100x100x1mm
The high-performance thermal pad from Alphacool can be used for cooling electronic components of all kinds, where effective heat dissipation is important. In addition to voltage converters and VRAM on graphics cards, electronic components of PlayStation and Xbox consoles can also be cooled, significantly improving their performance and durability.
The silicone-based, soft thermal transfer pad is characterized by optimal compressibility. Due to its low hardness and natural stickiness, the core thermal transfer pad perfectly adapts to surfaces, compensating for unevenness between components and thus ensuring a significant improvement in heat transfer.
The special material composition of the core thermal pad reduces the risk of silicone bleeding. It can be used significantly longer than conventional thermal transfer pads without a significant drop in performance.
Due to its excellent electrical insulation (electrically non-conductive), the Alphacool thermal pad can also be used for cooling electronic components in electric vehicles, autopilot systems, mobile phones, servers, motherboards, power supplies, LCD televisions, notebooks, telecommunications devices, access points, memory modules, and more.

2. Alphacool Ice layer
The Alphacool Ice Layer, like other thermal pads, can compensate for the unevenness of heatsinks and the components to be cooled. However, it has a significant feature: the Ice Layer is made of thermal paste with an embedded fabric. This results in the performance of these pads being significantly more efficient than that of standard thermal pads, regardless of the low W/mK value. Additionally, it achieves better distribution and filling between surfaces, leading to improved air displacement. Its soft consistency also means there is no pressure on components or solder joints. Nvidia also uses this type of pad for the Founders Edition. The Ice Layer can be easily cut to the desired size and applied to heatsinks without slipping. As a fundamental component or spare part, thermal pads belong in every well-organized computer DIY workspace!

6. Alphacool Apex Soft Thermal Pad 14W/mk 100x100x1mm
The Apex Soft are Alphacool's high-end solution in the range of thermal pads. Due to their outstanding properties, they can almost be compared to thermal paste. The Apex Soft thermal pads nestle much better to components, which contributes to a significant improvement in cooling performance.
Better than standard thermal pads? The material of the Apex Soft thermal pads acts 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 Apex Soft pads fill unevenness much better, nestle 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 cannot dry out. Usually, the silicone of heat-conducting pads bleeds out over time. This makes them go hard and the performance of the pads drops rapidly after a certain point. This is not the case with the Apex Soft thermal pads. They can be used for a much longer period of time 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. This is just as easy as cutting paper. The cut edges remain perfectly clean and do not fray.
The Alphacool Apex Soft thermal pads offer better performance than standard thermal pads in many respects and are a perfect replacement for old or underperforming pads.
