Thermal Pad Installation Location Guide

Here are some basic guidelines for where to install the thermal pad

1. Determine the Heat Source

Identify the component that needs to be cooled, such as the processor, graphics card, or other high-power components.

2. Clean Surface

Before installing the thermal pad, make sure the surface is clean and dust-free to ensure good thermal conduction.

3. Choose the Right Size

Use the thermal pad size that matches the component and ensure that the entire contact surface is covered.

4. Mounting Position

Place the thermal pad between the heat source and the heat sink to ensure a complete fit.

5. Press Fit

When installing the heat sink, apply even pressure to ensure that the thermal pad is in full contact.

6. Check

After installation, check if there is a visible gap to ensure that the thermal pad has not shifted.

Notes

● Thickness: Choose the right thickness of the thermal pad. Too thick may affect the contact effect.

● Thermal Conductivity: Ensure that the thermal conductivity of the thermal pad meets the requirements for optimal heat dissipation.
