Graphite Thermal Pad – Permanent Replacement for Thermal Paste/Grease(40x40mm 2-Pack)

The graphite thermal cooling strip works and does lower measured CPU temperatures. It is as good as all the positive reviews online and superior to thermal paste. It should be a standard part of all PCs instead of paste I reckon.

This is amazing! My temps on my razer blade laptop was as stable as applying a high quality thermal paste without the mess. I recommend this item!

Like the ease of use will it be better than thermal paste only time will tell

It solve my gaming laptop heat problem and most effective assembly

Excellent

I am using it from last 1 month on my 10 years old Intel CPU, so you can imagine its Thermal paste was gone. Before installing it, BIOS was showing me 80+ C temperature (I think its called Idle Temp). When windows was on and i am running any app, temp increased to 90+ C in normal condition. After installing this thermal pad with Intel Old CPU FAN, idle or BIOS temperature dropped to 50 C but while running apps, normally my kids play CS GO on Intel 2600K CPU, temperature is 80 ~ 90. So there is not much difference. Would like to add one more point, this CPU has built-in GPU, i thought high temperature might be due to that, so i installed an external GPU and disable internal GPU from BIOS, but there is no difference in the temp. So i applied Thermal Paste again and all my CPU temperature problems are resolved. Max temperature is 82 as compare to 98 when Thermal Pad was installed. Average temperature is 62 to 65. So would not recomend Pad on paste. BTW, i installed that pad on my MACBOOK PRO 2015 Ratina cuz its 5 years old and its paste is dried as well. Regards, Mazhar

Very great buy. The best purchase i ever made so far. Works very similar to thermal paste. Managed to bring down my CPU temp 20 degrees celsius when gaming.

I cut this thermal pad and applied on CPU and VGA. Oddly the VGA temperature was a bit higher than thermal compound right after applying, but now the VGA temperature became almost same as using thermal compound. Maybe it was because I slightly had moisture(with Lysol wipes) on VGA cores before applying it for attaching the pad to the core. The pad is extremely slippery, but once your heat sink is fixed then the pad is staying stable too, of course. It was easy to install on CPU while it was difficult to install on VGA since my VGA card has screw holes on opposite side of the VGA chip. I needed to flip the card without moving the pad and that's why I used tiny tiny tiny amount of moisture(with Lysol wipes) on VGA core so the pad wouldn't move while I screwed the heat sink to the VGA card. This pad is conductive so when you install it, you need to be very careful the pad shouldn't be touching other parts of the board(this pad touching other parts of the board could damage your board if power source is connected). This pad is slippery so it keeps moving until the heat sink is fixed good. However, despite this difficulty of installation, the temperature is impressive and once you install it, this pad works like permanent!

este producto realmente funciona y demuestra lo que promete en su calidad y eficiensia, al uso que se necesite para el equipo en el que desea instalar, resolvio mi problema de enfriamiento de mi ps4 al 100% lo recomiendo totalmente.

Amazing thermal pad. Works better than thermal paste... 100% recommended

I have used quite a few of these. I must have used one of them in like 8 different builds, and that one alone probably got mounted probably around 100 times. I treat these things like liquid hot magma - or perhaps - Faberge Eggs. I mean i baby them and they are never bent, let alone any kind of folding or rough abuse. Always centered on the CPU so there is as little bleed out pressure as possible. you really want even pressure as close to all the edges, evenly, as possible, to really prolong the life of these. Temperatures are impressive. oddly impressive. Like really not much Delta T away from any of the best non conductive pastes. So performance, reuseablility, ease of application and speed to deployment without waiting around for more paste etc - its a win win nobrainer - these things rock and they are super reliable. If youre having issues getting the thing to stay in place on the cpu while you mount, im sure no one here is going to like this, but i almost always take a TINY, TEENY TINY TINY amount of demineralized water and apply it to the back of the pad. then i invert it so any droplets roll off. they never do, theres never enough moisture for that. but then i place it on the cpu die and mount asap. pad is always in the right place and bobs your uncle. Adhesion confirmed successfully.
