Application | Recommended Size | Recommended Thickness | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
M.2 SSD (NVMe, 2280) | 80 × 22 mm | 0.5 mm (standard) / 1.0 mm (optional) | Designed for direct heatsink contact. Thicker pads not recommended for M.2 slots. |
SSD Controller (standalone) | 30 × 30 mm | 0.5 mm | For compact layouts and tight tolerances. |
RAM (DDR4 / DDR5) | 80 × 22 mm / 120 × 20 mm | 0.5 – 1.0 mm | Optimized for memory heatspreaders and uniform contact. |
High-Performance RAM (OC) | 50 × 50 mm | 1.0 – 1.5 mm | For higher thermal load and slightly larger tolerances. |
GPU Memory (VRAM) | 50 × 50 mm / 100 × 100 mm | 1.0 – 1.5 mm | Cuttable for multiple memory chips; not for GPU die. |
GPU Backplate (memory-side) | 100 × 100 mm | 2.0 – 3.0 mm | Indirect cooling path; thickness depends on gap size. |
Custom / Industrial Layouts | 100 × 100 mm | 2.5 – 3.0 mm | Large tolerances, indirect thermal coupling. |
