DeepCool EK720-L-2.0 High Performance Thermal Pad
The DeepCool EK720-L-2.0 High Performance Thermal Pad addresses heat transfer scenarios within your PC where traditional thermal paste might not be ideal due to space constraints or uneven contact surfaces. Thermal pads are particularly adept at filling gaps between heat-generating components and heatsinks. The EK720-L-2.0's 2.0mm thickness caters to situations requiring more substantial gap filling compared to thinner pads in the EK720 line.
This thermal pad leverages a material formulated for high thermal conductivity, aiming to effectively transfer heat away from your components and towards the heatsink. Maintaining optimal operating temperatures is crucial, as overheating can lead to performance throttling and potential hardware damage. DeepCool emphasizes the pad's flexibility, allowing it to conform to uneven surfaces and establish better contact between components for improved heat transfer efficiency. Safety is ensured by the pad's electrical non-conductivity, eliminating the risk of electrical shorts if it accidentally comes into contact with circuitry.
Key Features:
- High thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer between components and heatsinks
- 2.0mm thickness suitable for applications requiring larger gap filling
- Flexible design conforms to uneven surfaces for improved contact
- Electrically non-conductive for safety
- Gray color
FAQ:
- What applications are suitable for the DeepCool EK720-L-2.0? This thermal pad is ideal for filling gaps between components that utilize heatsinks and have a larger gap than what thinner pads can accommodate. Examples include voltage regulators on motherboards, particularly thick memory modules, and some solid state drives (SSDs) with heatsinks.
- Can I use the DeepCool EK720-L-2.0 instead of thermal paste for my CPU or GPU? Thermal paste is generally the preferred choice for CPU and GPU applications due to its superior thermal conductivity and filling capabilities. The EK720-L-2.0 might not be as effective due to its lower conductivity and potential inability to fully fill the gap between the CPU/GPU heat spreader and the heatsink.
- How does the DeepCool EK720-L-2.0 compare to other thicknesses in the EK720 line? Deepcool offers the EK720 in various thicknesses (including 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 1.5mm) to accommodate different gap sizes. Choose the thickness that best suits the space between your component and heatsink.
