DeepCool EK720-XS-1.5 High Performance Thermal Pad
The DeepCool EK720-XS-1.5 High Performance Thermal Pad addresses heat transfer needs within your PC, particularly in scenarios where traditional thermal paste isn't the most suitable solution. Thermal pads excel at bridging uneven gaps between heat-generating components and heatsinks, a challenge for thermal paste.
The EK720-XS-1.5 leverages a material boasting high thermal conductivity to efficiently transfer heat away from your components. This promotes optimal operating temperatures and prevents overheating, which can throttle performance and potentially damage hardware. DeepCool emphasizes the pad's flexibility, allowing it to conform to irregular surfaces and establish better contact between components. Safety is ensured by the pad's electrical non-conductivity, eliminating the risk of electrical shorts if it accidentally touches circuitry.
Key Features:
- High thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer between components and heatsinks
- Flexible design conforms to uneven surfaces for improved contact
- Electrically non-conductive for safety
- Offered in various sizes and thicknesses (XS-1.5 refers to the specific size)
FAQ:
- What are suitable applications for the DeepCool EK720-XS-1.5? This thermal pad is ideal for filling gaps between components like voltage regulators, memory modules, and SSDs that utilize heatsinks.
- Can I use the DeepCool EK720-XS-1.5 instead of thermal paste for my CPU or GPU? While the EK720 pad can transfer heat, it's generally not recommended as a replacement for thermal paste on CPUs or GPUs due to potential limitations in thermal conductivity and conformability.
- What's the thickness of the DeepCool EK720-XS-1.5? The "XS" in the product name likely indicates a thickness of 1.5mm. DeepCool offers the EK720 line in various thicknesses to accommodate different gap sizes.
