Akasa ShinEtsu Thermal Interface Pads
Akasa has been manufacturing coolers and PC Cooling related products for a while now. But recently they have introduced a new heat exchange material called Thermal Interface Material or for short T.I.M. Akasa put their thinking caps on for this product and ease of use must have been high on their list because this stuff is as easy to apply as applying tape to paper. No more messy guessing games with T.I.M. s. Akasa developed the perfect chemical balance for excellent heat exchange and solid material for a more precise and easy application.
