Thermalright Intros Valor Odin Series Thermal Pads
Thermalright today introduced the Valor Odin series of thermal pads that you can use to improve the cooling performance of your motherboard’s VRM heatsinks, M.2 SSD heatsinks, or your graphics card’s coolers (to better pull heat from the memory chips or VRM). The company claims that the pad offers thermal conductivity of 15 W/mK, which is in the league of thermal pastes. The pad uses aluminium nitride as a key ingredient, while maintaining electrical non-conductivity up to 9.8 kV, and has a density of 3.1 g/cc. There are three variants of the Thermalright Valor Odin based on pad thickness—1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm, all with the same density and thermal characteristics. Each pack includes a sheet measuring 95 mm x 50 mm, which you cut to size. The company didn’t reveal pricing.
