The strip format suits the long, narrow runs of VRM power stages and M.2 drives, so there is less cutting and less waste than working from a square sheet.

Most of what needs a thermal pad on a motherboard or graphics card is long and narrow — a row of VRM power stages along the board edge, an M.2 drive, a line of VRAM — and a 120 × 20 mm strip covers that with little or no cutting. Four of them come in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTP-3 is a silicone-based gap filler, soft at 55 Shore OO, which lets it conform to components that are not all the same height. At 1.5 mm this is the thickest TP-3 made, for the deeper gaps where a thinner pad would simply not reach. It is \u003cstrong\u003enon-adhesive\u003c\/strong\u003e, so nothing is glued down and parts come apart cleanly later, and it is \u003cstrong\u003estackable\u003c\/strong\u003e if a gap needs more than 1.5 mm.
