With not having to buy many thermal pads before, i was quite concerned these may not perform well. Phobia are usually the recommended pads for GPU's and considering i was replacing pads for a Radeon HD 5970 my concern was well warranted. After trying to find reviews for this product fairly unsuccessfully, i did find reviews for Gelids thermal PASTES (which rank top of the non liquid metal ranks) so decided to take the plunge as this is cheaper than the phobia solution. I cannot compare this product to others but i can say my over heating problems have been solved. On air/original stock cooler my VDDC temps do not exceed 80 degrees. My pc now boots 100% of the time as opposed to it rarely booting successfully and most certainly not being able to play games. I can now play for hours on end with no overheating issues. This is all even after not applying the pads correctly. I wrongly removed the blue protective film first which made my life difficult when removing the thicker transparent film when the pads were in place. They kept lifting up and tearing. Don't make the same mistake! Remove the thick transparent film first, place your pads, then remove the blue film. Then your results should be better still. To conclude: I would highly recommend this product, if it can transfer heat successfully from a HD 5970 it is up to the task for almost any heat transfer job! 5* rating from me! Read full review

It is a good product. You can cut it in pieces as you want to fit everywhere. However, it is a little expensive for its size, even though it is of higher conductivity.

The GELID 1mm 12W/m.K thermal pad reduced Pi4 temperatures by 5degC, during “stressberry” 4 core stress testing (5min/1hr). See attached images. 5min stress test Stock blue thermal pad 61degC GELID grey thermal pad 55degC 6degC cooler 1hr stress test Stock blue thermal pad 68degC GELID grey thermal pad 63degC 5degC cooler Great outcome with significant 5degC improvement over the stock case thermal pads (3). 95% of the supplied thermal pad remains unused, for other applications. Other info... Max case surface temperature measured 51.2degC (hot but not a danger) for the 63degC cpu temperature (1hr stress test with GELID), air temperature around 22degC.

Been getting extremely good temps on VRMs on Z370 motherboard with 8700k running upto 5.3ghz. Before changing to this was getting high 60s even got 72c at one point. I have changed for these pads the last week highest temperature I have seen is 46c Hwmonitor running from start up

Fantastic product. Be sure to remove plastic film on both sides of the pad before placing on chips. Remove the plastic with printed logo first. Used to replace thermal pads in 6yr old PS4 Pro. Temperature and fan speeds now at manageable levels.
