Maxtor AP-12 High-Performance Silicone Thermal Pad, 14.8W/m·K Thermal Conductivity, 120 × 20 × 2mm, Electrically Insulating, Cut-to-Fit for GPU VRAM, VRM, SSD & Laptop Cooling | Grey

Expert Features

  • 14.8 W/m·K Thermal Conductivity: High-performance silicone thermal interface designed to transfer heat between electronic components and compatible cooling surfaces.
  • 2.0 mm Precision Thickness: Pre-formed thermal pad for assemblies requiring a 2.0 mm gap-filling interface between components and heatsinks.
  • 120 × 20 mm Long Strip: Narrow rectangular format with an exact 6:1 length-to-width ratio, suitable for elongated thermal contact areas.
  • Electrically Insulating: Non-electrically conductive silicone material helps reduce the risk of electrical contact through the pad around sensitive electronic components.
  • Flexible Silicone Construction: Conformable thermal material helps accommodate minor surface irregularities under appropriate heatsink pressure.
  • GPU VRAM & VRM Cooling: Suitable for compatible graphics-card memory chips and voltage-regulation components requiring the correct pad thickness.
  • M.2 SSD & Motherboard Applications: Can be trimmed for suitably sized SSDs, chipsets, memory modules, and integrated circuits.
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Manufacturer-specified operating temperature range of −50°C to +250°C.
  • Clean, Pre-Formed Installation: Cut to size, remove the protective films, and position between the component and its cooling surface without spreading thermal grease.
  • Non-Curing Silicone Material: Remains a non-curing thermal interface rather than hardening into a rigid compound.
  • Custom Cut-to-Fit Design: The long strip can be divided into smaller pieces according to individual component footprints.
  • Laptop & Desktop Thermal Servicing: Practical for compatible graphics cards, gaming PCs, laptops, workstations, and electronics repairs where a 2.0 mm pad is required.

Installation note: Match the original equipment’s required thermal-pad thickness. A pad that is too thin may not make full contact; one that is too thick may prevent correct heatsink seating. Do not substitute it directly for thermal paste on a bare CPU or GPU die unless the equipment explicitly requires such an interface.
