Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad Extreme 120x20x1.5
Best thermal solution for high-performance PC component cooling.
The Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad Extreme is an ultra-high performance thermal pad designed for optimal heat transfer. Its highly flexible, silicone-based surface with a modeling clay-like consistency allows for perfect surface shaping and maximum compression, effectively compensating for minor component differences. This pad is electrically insulating and offers significantly improved thermal conductivity compared to previous models, making it ideal for demanding cooling applications like voltage regulators and memory ICs. It is recommended for single use due to its consistency.

Know before you buy
No, these pads are designed for single use only. Due to their clay-like consistency and high compression rate, they conform permanently to the component surface and will not maintain their effectiveness if reapplied.
No, the Minus Pad Extreme is electrically insulating. It is safe to use on sensitive components like voltage regulators and memory ICs without the risk of causing short circuits.
This pad has a unique, modeling clay-like consistency that is much more flexible than standard pads. This allows it to compress easily and fill gaps perfectly, ensuring better contact even if your components have slight height variations.
The Minus Pad Extreme is engineered to be bleed-free. You can expect a clean application that remains stable without leaking silicone oil onto your motherboard or surrounding components.
The 1.5mm thickness is ideal for filling gaps between heat sinks and components like VRAM or VRMs. Always measure your existing gap precisely, as the pad's performance relies on achieving the correct compression.
