GP-ULTIMATE 90x50 Thermal Pad - 0.5mm 1.0mm - GELID Solutions PC CPU GPU

Description

GP-Ultimate 90x50mm Thermal Pad -
THE CUTTING-EDGE THERMAL PAD
Ultimate Heat Conductivity
Non-Electrical Conductive
Non-Corrosive, Non-Curing & Non-Toxic
Extended Operating Temperature Range
The GP-Ultimate is designed to provide perfect thermal contact to heatsinks when installed on PCB with height differences and uneven surfaces such as power MOSFETs, chipsets, analog ICs, micro-controller units and other high-temperature SMD components. Thanks to its enhanced multilayer matrix, superior material composition and the ultimate 15W/mK thermal conductivity, the GP-Ultimate fills spaces properly and offers the best performance in class
Important Notes:
These pads are available in either 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 3.0mm Thickness.
Each pack contains one 90x50mm Thermal Pad Strip of the selected thickness.
Use the dropdown above to pick from the options available.
These high performance pads are excellent solutions for refreshing cooling solutions in electronic devices, especially with NVIDIA and AMD Graphics Cards that often come with cheaper and less effective thermal pads, or adding new ones to help increase cooling. Also highly useful for laptops, consoles like the PlayStation and Xbox and other high powered electronics.

Tips for Making the Most Out of These Pads:
These are meant to pressed firmly between two surfaces, typically from something like a VRAM chip and a heatsink, to help transfer heat across small gaps.
Most thermal pads in GPUs and Laptops tend to range between 1mm and 3mm in thickness and are highly mold-able/compressible.
It is possible to stack thermal pads or press them together to make them thicker, wider or longer if you are in a pinch, though usually it is better to get the proper thickness as a single sheet.
I would highly recommend getting an exacto knife set and a cut resistant mat that has a 10x10mm grid layout, as these are incredibly useful for measuring and cutting thermal pads to fit.
Use Nitrile gloves when handling these pads, as your skin oils can render them ineffective. Nitrile is also safe for electrical components and function as ESD gloves. Cloth ESD gloves will leave behind their fibers in the pads and mess them up.
Clean surfaces properly before application for best contact and heat transfer. (I use 70% alcohol and ESD wipes)
Once pads have been used for a short period of time, the heat of the components will melt them to the components they are touching, which will create a better seal by filling gaps in rougher surface areas. Once pads have been used to this point, they will preferably need to be replaced, if removed or peeled off later, as the conforming features will not be as good anymore after this process has happened. You can tell when a pad has "melted" in this way as it will leave behind a small oily residue when removed from the surface later.
It is not a good idea to re-use old thermal pads!!!
When preparing thermal pads and applying them to a device, make sure to leave the protective sheets on as long as possible, and only remove them right before they are going to be placed on the device! Leaving the thermal pads uncovered and exposed to air for even an hour or two, will cause them to pick up dust from the air and will get noticeably dirtier.
Use a CLEAN piece of plastic to lay on the exposed pad and protect it from dust if you remove the covering too early.
If you are getting into crypto mining or GPU Overclocking!!!
These are incredibly worth using to replace the stock thermals on practically all GPUs, especially for cards bought used, but even on brand new cards, as the 24/7 nature of mining will push cards to their limits and cause a lot of wear and tear at higher temps. Having them run as cool as possible is essential to getting the most life out of your card, and making sure you can still resell them as working cards in the future. The stock thermals and pastes used on many manufacturer's cards tend to be lower quality and degrade after a year or two, while these high quality pads are guaranteed to last considerably longer.
Finally, the VRAM and power regulator chips these pads are meant to cover, do not report their temperatures to end user. Typically the only temperature reading you are getting is from the GPU chip itself, meaning other components could be running much hotter than you realize if they haven't been tended to properly. If thee chips are burning up, you might not realize until damage is being done to the card and errors and artifacts start showing up even at cooler core temps.
