OwlTree3 Pack Thermal Pads, 100x100mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, Highly Efficient Thermal Conductivity 12.8W/mK, Heat Resistant Silicone Grease for Laptop Heatsink, CPU, GPU, SSD, IC, LED Cooler

Easy to apply, works perfectly and they come in a variety of sizes that should meet all your needs. No more overheating for me. Stop wasting your time with messy thermal paste and switch to these thermal pads today.

Worked perfectly to replace the thermal pad on the back of my Onewheel controller. Heat transfer seems to be good as temperatures are same as oem pad. The thickness options included let me match the thickness of the original pad.

I'm not using these on anything as extreme as an actual CPU, so I can't really verify how well they work for anything that extreme (paste still reigns supreme for real processors) but for what little I've used this on so far it seems to work fairly well. This stuff is strangely tacky. It's almost putty-like. On the one hand it tears very easily (so try to get an application right on the first try) but on the other hand it also is a bit more suitable for some less... standard uses. For example, stuffing into a GPU over coils that whine badly. However, it doesn't actually work like real putty, so don't think you can shape it to fit something. It's just a bit sticky and tacky so more likely to remain in place if crammed in.This offers three decent thicknesses to choose from (though I wouldn't complain if the sheets themselves were larger) so you can probably find a fit for most applications. All in all a pretty decent product.

When it comes to ensuring your electronic devices run smoothly and efficiently, having the right thermal interface material is crucial. The thermal pads offered here truly stand out, and I couldn't be happier with their performance.Excellent Thermal Conductivity (5/5):One of the most impressive features of these thermal pads is their exceptional thermal conductivity. With a rating of 12.8 W/mK, they outshine traditional thermal pads by a significant margin. This means that they excel at efficiently transferring heat away from your components, ensuring your electronics stay cool even during intensive tasks.Reliable & Durable (5/5):These thermal pads are not only efficient but also built to last. They can handle a rated voltage of up to 9.8KV, making them safe for various applications. Their high-temperature performance is excellent, and they exhibit qualities such as being non-toxic, odorless, anti-corrosive, wear-resistant, anti-static, and fire-retardant. This level of reliability is exactly what I was looking for in a thermal interface material.Versatile Application (5/5):These pads are incredibly versatile, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether it's your computer's motherboard, motor foot pads, household appliances, or automotive machinery, these thermal pads have you covered. The ability to work with any material requiring filling and cooling modules is a real plus.Convenient & Affordable (5/5):The dimensions of 100x100mm are more than sufficient for most applications, and the ability to cut them to size as needed is a convenient feature. The package includes three different thicknesses (0.5mm, 1mm, and 1.5mm), giving you flexibility to meet your specific requirements. It's also worth noting that this product provides excellent value for the quality it offers.In conclusion, these thermal pads have exceeded my expectations in every way. They are not only highly efficient at conducting heat but also versatile, reliable, and affordable. If you're looking to keep your electronics cool and running optimally, these thermal pads are a fantastic choice. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable thermal interface materials.

(1/2023 Edit to say that a year later I'm still happy. A few months ago I bought a cheap ROG Strix RX580 to play around with. The thermals weren't bad but I decided to repaste and repad the card anyway and I saw similar temperature drops. I don't run an OC daily but it did seem to OC a little better after heat soaking with Furmark and then running Heaven. Scored about 25pt higher in Heaven than before the pads/paste.)I bought these to upgrade my RX 580 and they really seem to work well. I took some thermal readings under gaming loads, Furmark and Heaven and then repasted the GPU die with Artic MX-4 and took the same readings again after about a week of use.Following those readings I replaced the pads with these Owltree pads and repasted with MX-4 again. I also added a pad between the back of the GPU die and the metal backplate and comparing thermal images of the backplate with and without the pads shows much better heat transfer in both stock and custom locations.Under Furmark the Max temp with stock pads was 71.5C, average 69C and with the Owltree pads max was 64C and average was 63C, so significantly lower and less variation. (Ambient air was 65F +/- 1 degree for all tests)My only criticism and warning is to expect wasted material with the .5mm thickness. It's a real pain to work with and the biggest problem is getting it to release from the clear backing film without ripping. That said, you get 100x100mm of material so there's plenty of extra.

With one pack, I was able to refurbish a motherboard and three video cards (though I did use high-end grease, not pads, for the GPU itself). In every case, temperatures were drastically better versus the stock pads. Note that these are not as rubbery as your typical 3W/mK pads that ship on OEM devices, so they're also not nearly as easy to work with. These are more like preformed thermal paste you might find on OEM heatsinks, and are probably not ideal in situations where your device will be disassembled and reassembled regularly. But for long-term applications, these are really good. Just be careful and wear gloves if possible when handling. I've also found that the flat end of a scribe tool (aka "spudger") to be extremely helpful in working with these pads. If you take your time and do things right, the high temperature capacitance is worth the extra effort.
