The Apex Soft are Alphacool's high-end solution in the field of thermal pads, as they can almost be compared to thermal paste due to their outstanding properties. The Apex Soft thermal pads conform much better to components, resulting in a significant improvement in cooling performance.

Better than standard thermal pads? The material of the Apex Soft thermal pads behaves similarly to thermal paste. The consistency of the pads prevents the highest components, such as voltage regulators or VRAMs, from being subjected to excessive pressure from the cooler. In the worst case, this can lead to the PCB bending. The Apex Soft pads fill in unevenness much better, conform more closely to the components, and thus significantly enhance the heat transfer between the cooler and the component.

But that's not the only advantage! The special material also cannot dry out. Typically, the silicone in thermal pads bleeds out over time. This causes them to harden, and the performance of the pads drops rapidly after a certain point. This is not the case with the Apex Soft thermal pads. They can be used for a significantly longer period without losing substantial performance.

Cutting them? No problem! When cutting the thermal pads, it is essential to leave the film on the pads. This allows the pads to be easily trimmed with scissors. It is as simple as cutting paper. The cut edges remain perfectly clean and do not fray.

The Alphacool Apex Soft thermal pads offer better performance in many ways compared to standard thermal pads and are a perfect replacement for old or underperforming pads.
