Review: Great thermal pad for high-end GPUs - I used this ARCTIC TP-3 1.0mm thermal pad on my MSI RTX 3090 Ti, and it worked exactly as advertised. After installation, I saw a noticeable temperature drop of about 3–5°C, which is impressive for such a simple upgrade. The pad is soft, easy to cut to size, and makes excellent contact without being messy like thermal paste. Another advantage is that it can be stacked up to 2.0mm without performance loss, providing flexibility for various cooling setups. I sold the card after the upgrade, but I was very happy with the performance improvements while I had it. If you’re looking to refresh the thermal pads on your GPU or other components, this is a reliable choice.
Review: Best - Works great!! Best thermal pads!!

## Features

- PLEASE NOTE: Due to the extremely low hardness of thermally conductive pads, a more demanding installation is to be expected. Please refer to the User Manual
- MINIMIZATION OF THERMAL RESISTANCE: The thinner the pad, the lower the thermal resistance. Thanks to its good compression properties, the very soft heat conduction pad is particularly a good heat conductor
- HIGH PERFORMANCE: Based on silicone and a special filler, TP-3 also outperforms high-performance pads, especially when height differences of closely spaced chips
- VERSATILE APPLICATIONS: Heat-conducting, vibration-damping, mouldable, electrically insulating - can be easily cut to size. Ideal for RAM, chipset, IC in PC, laptop, console, graphic cards
- SAFE HANDLING: The pad contains no metal particles, is electrically insulating and non-capacitive. Handling is therefore safe, as contact with electrical parts will not cause damage

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it adhesive in any way?**
A: One side is very sticky and fragile

**Q: Is there a thermal pad for the Intel i9-13900KS?**
A: A thermal pad is not suitable for the CPU. Please use a thermal compound such as Arctic MX-6.

**Q: Can this be used in a kydex holster press as a clamping cushion to get a uniform mold around differet shape objects?**
A: I mean, yea.....but there's probably better alternatives.? The real question is.......y tho? lol. Probably better off with self adhesive cushioning pads (assuming you're looking for a plastic/steel buffer)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The gold standard for Nintendo Wii
*by R***N on July 21, 2025*

I have been working on Nintendo Wiis for a long time and there has been a debate about how to do the thermals. Some say use paste, others say use another pad, others want to go with phase change material. The truth of the matter is that it's built for pads. Thermal grizzly is nice but the pads don't stack well. You will need about 1.2mm of thickness to fill the gap. Enter this pad. These are nice and they are rather high performance for the price. They are easy to use. Just trim what you need. Peel one side off. Plant it down. Then peel the other side off. The pad will expand a bit. Then plant your heatsink down and go. Yea, it's that easy. For what the Wii is this pad is kinda overkill but it's one of the few pads on the market that you can stack up to 2mm without any issues. It transfers heat very well and it's soft enough to fill any gaps. My Wii's not working itself to death anymore and it has since developed a large silence to it. If you need a pad that's thick without a loss of performance this is the pad for you.
