DeepCool EK720-XS-1.0 High Performance Thermal Pad
The DeepCool EK720-XS-1.0 High Performance Thermal Pad is designed to improve heat transfer between components in your PC, particularly in situations where traditional thermal paste might not be ideal. Thermal pads are often used to fill uneven gaps between heat sources and heatsinks, something that thermal paste struggles with.
The EK720-XS-1.0 utilizes a high thermal conductivity material to efficiently transfer heat away from your components. This helps maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevents overheating, which can lead to performance issues and potential damage. DeepCool highlights the pad's pliable nature, allowing it to conform to uneven surfaces and create better contact between components. The EK720-XS-1.0 is also electrically non-conductive, ensuring there's no risk of electrical shorts if it accidentally comes into contact with circuitry.
Key Features:
- High thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer
- Pliable design for conformity to uneven surfaces and improved contact
- Electrically non-conductive for safety
- Available in various sizes and thicknesses (XS-1.0 refers to the specific size offered)
FAQ:
- What applications are suitable for the DeepCool EK720-XS-1.0? This thermal pad is suitable for filling gaps between components like voltage regulators, memory modules, and SSDs with heatsinks.
- Can I use the DeepCool EK720-XS-1.0 instead of thermal paste for my CPU or GPU? While the EK720 can transfer heat, it's not recommended as a replacement for thermal paste on CPUs or GPUs due to potential limitations in thermal conductivity and conformability.
- How thick is the DeepCool EK720-XS-1.0? The "XS" in the product name likely indicates a thickness of 1.0mm. DeepCool offers various thicknesses within the EK720 product line to suit different gap sizes.
