Minus Pad High Compression 2-Pack

The Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad High Compression comes as a two-pack of 120x100mm sheets, each 5.0mm thick. They are designed for enthusiasts modifying graphics cards with water blocks or replacing stock cooler pads. The pads suit builds where VRAM, voltage regulators and GPU dies sit at different heights.

High compressibility for mixed component heights

These pads compress significantly under mounting pressure, allowing a single thickness to bridge varying gaps across a PCB. Thermal conductivity is maintained and can increase as pressure rises, so tight clamping does not degrade performance. The material is electrically non-conductive, preventing shorts if it overlaps circuitry.

5.0mm thickness handles large gaps

At 5.0mm the pads fill substantial spaces between dies and cold plates, absorbing manufacturing tolerances without bottoming out. They run out of effective range when gaps exceed the compressed height or when a thinner, precise fit is required for low-profile modules.

Highlights

Part NumberTG-MP-HC-120-100-50-2
FeaturesThe thermal pads of the Minus Pad High Compression series offer extremely high compressibility combined with excellent thermal conductivity. They are especially practical when converting a graphics card to a water cooler, as a single pad thickness can be used across various contact points.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 120 x 100 mm pad or cut it down for my SSD?

The 120 x 100 mm sheet can be trimmed to fit smaller components such as M.2 SSDs, giving you flexibility for both GPU and storage applications.

What does the 5.0 mm thickness mean once the pad is installed under a water block?

At 5.0 mm the pad compresses heavily under mounting pressure, maintaining or even improving thermal conductivity while bridging uneven gaps between dies and the cold plate.

How does the high-compression design affect thermal transfer compared with standard pads?

The material is engineered to increase thermal conductivity as contact pressure rises, so it performs better the tighter the cooler is mounted.
