The Alphacool Eisschicht Ultra Soft thermal pads are the ultimate in thermal interface materials. Their outstanding properties allow them to be compared almost to thermal paste. The Eisschicht Ultra Soft pads conform much better to components, contributing to excellent cooling performance.

Better than standard thermal pads? The ultra-soft material of the Eisschicht Ultra Soft thermal pads behaves similarly to thermal paste. While standard thermal pads are simply compressed under pressure, potentially leading to uneven pressure on components of varying heights, this is nearly impossible with the Eisschicht Ultra Soft thermal pads. The material spreads out as effectively as thermal paste, preventing taller components from experiencing increased pressure from the cooler. In the worst case, this could lead to the PCB bending.
