Thermal Grizzly TG Putty Basic for GPU Modding and Thermal Pad Replacement, 100g

TG Putty is an electrically non-conductive alternative to conventional thermal pads. As an easy-to-apply and flexible gap filler, it compensates for height differences, making it ideal as a replacement for thermal pads on GPUs. Graphics cards typically feature several types of thermal pads of varying thicknesses from the factory, requiring different pads during replacement or when converting the cooler to a GPU water cooler.

The application of TG Putty is performed using the included spatulas, which also enable large-area application. TG Putty can compensate for height differences ranging from 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm.

TG Putty is available in three variants, primarily differing in their thermal conductivity:

• TG Putty Basic: Medium thermal conductivity
• TG Putty Advance: Good thermal conductivity
• TG Putty Pro: Excellent thermal conductivity

For modifying a single, smaller graphics card without an active backplate (e.g., GeForce GTX 1060), approximately 30-grams of TG Putty is required. For larger graphics cards, such as a GeForce RTX 4090, 30-grams is generally sufficient for the memory (VRAM) and voltage regulators (VRM) on the front side. On the backside, there is often a uniform, larger gap between the PCB and the backplate on larger graphics cards. In this case, approximately 60-grams are needed to completely fill this gap.

Notes:

TG Putty is not suitable for use on processors (IHS or Direct Die) or directly on the GPU die!

Before application, the target surface should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased, for example, using TG Cleaning Wipes or conventional isopropanol.
