What's your use case? MAXMIMUM performance with a TIM that won't dry out? These may not be in your interest with caveats. Consider similar graphENE products. Graphene thermal sheets are more performant, but WAY more brittle. I can not stress just how unsubstantial they are. Those products CAN be reused, and I have - but not without loss of material. Something which can also be terribly nerve wracking as the flakes are electrically conductive. Personally, I will not use them again, even where performance is a concern. ESPECIALLY if you have a cooler that can twist on its mounts. On the other hand, are you interested in potentially swapping coolers or hardware with some degree of frequency? Do you want some sort of TIM that does not require cleaning? These graphITE pads are what you are interested in. In my experience these are sufficient to cool anything at stock clocks, even up to maximum PBO2 boosts for recent Zen processors. Though it should be noted that added efficiency could realize better power USE. Further, these graphITE pads re much more resilient. Mind, these are ALSO electrically conductive, but show FAR less tendency to flake or fall apart, making the matter less concerning. I'll be using these thermal pads in most situations going forward. Mind the dimensions. In my case AM4 platforms have a 32mmx32mm IHS (integrated Head Spread), and while it would be recommended to use 32-33m thermal sheets, Ryzen IHS are slightly concave, making these 30mm squares 'fit' somewhat better in the recessed region of the IHS. For R7 platforms, or anyone interested in undervolting, these will suffice, and hold up better without the uneven pressure from an uneven IHS. If you need to be running R9s at full capacity, consider 32+mm sheets; you can always clip them down to size, including the corners to better fit the recess.

Amazing product for transferring heat from one source to another. I am running this in 2 computers and the results have been amazing. One of the PC's is a i9 14900k @ 6ghz and it keeps the temperatures under 80c under a heavy load and idles @ 30c while air cooled with a Corsair air cooler. I've used this for weeks before making the review. Going forward, all pc's I build for anyone I care about will use these. I have reapplied this to the same cpu with a different cooler and the process was simple as it doesn't adhere to any surface. You just pick it up and re use it like it was new. This product is conductive so its of dire importance to make sure that it doesn't move during installation or touch any other components.

The thermal conductivity of these graphite pads aren't impressive when it comes to z-axis heat transfer (from the heat source to the heat sink), but they are extremely impressive when it comes to the x/y-axis heat transfer. I'm using this pad on a Ryzen 9 5950X and Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black heat sink and temps are identical to Arctic Silver 5 (20°C ambient, 32°C idle, 65°C load). I've been building PCs for over 20 years, thermal paste application is second nature to me. These pads have truly changed the game, at least in my eyes. The main benefit is for the newer Ryzen CPUs that have the CCX dies offset and not centered to the IHS. Most heat sinks are slightly concave and focus mounting pressure on the center of your CPU IHS. You can tell by putting your heat sink on a flat surface and see if it spins freely. These pads help transfer the heat from the sides of the IHS to the heat sink better than paste would. Stating the obvious here, these pads are reusable and require no cleaning after using them. They make testing heat sinks (and AIOs) so much easier since there is no thermal paste to clean up afterwards. They are safe to use on the IHS as well as the bare die if you want to use it on a GPU. I won't say it's perfect... because it's not. These pads have a specific use case scenario. While they do have a good thermal conductivity, that rating goes down the higher the temps get. As such, this pad will NOT perform as good as thermal paste if you're constantly running +85°C temps, making it a terrible choice if you are overclocking. I personally only use the PBO settings on my AMD CPUs and it handles the heat load just fine. I bought this from my local Microcenter because I was sick of wasting thermal paste when swapping between CPUs (troubleshooting). When I saw how great the temps were, I bought the two-pack from Amazon to make the swap on other machines too. Great stuff, I just wish I bought into it sooner.

Going to start using this instead. No mess and very easy to set up. Although there around a 4 degree difference with this lad and paste. This works like a decent paste. You can get cooler but for not having a mess and cleaning up. This is the way all the way. Happy with set up and content with cooling

Works extremely well, the 40x40mm size is perfect for AMD AM4 processors. Since it's not a paste, there is no worry of it drying out over time, and it transmits heat to the Heatsink very well. And the fact that you no longer need to clean up Thermal paste if you need to remount a cooler or change CPU's is a godsend. The pads are easy to apply, make sure the CPU IHS surface is clean and dry. Place the pad on top using a pair of flat tweezers. And then, mount the CPU cooler, using the same tightening procedure you would for paste.. I recommend having any backplate or bracket changes done before applying the pad. The fact that this is a 2-pack adds quite a bit of value, as similar products cost the same amount or more for a single pad.

Built a system for my Mother using my prior systems parts and don't want to worry about thermal paste drying or thermal pumping out. This appears to be a permanent solution and testing has verified that it performs much more than adequate.. 4960x (yes....old) lapped to near mirror polished Thermalright Peerless Assasin 120 (how can something be this cheap AND this good?) EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ultra Gaming - Because Mom loves killing zombies! Uhh..no. CPU has no iGPU 32GB RAM, ASUS MB, Fractal Design Pop Air case Anyway....installation is super easy once you put tiny dabs of thermal compound on the processor corners to hold this pad in place. Without the thermal compound - it moves, period - tried 3 times and it just wouldn't stay in place no matter how careful I was. Being as this pad is the same size as the heat spreader of the CPU - had to be perfect - so...TC on the corners - done. All fans set on manual with minimum duty cycles in BIOS. Idle temperature average is 26C for all cores with a low temp of 24C - so very consistent and even. Now, when I hammer it - prime95 AND MSI Kombustor at the same time - I get CPU temps maxing at 74C - no thermal throttling, CPU at full speed at all times. Not bad at all for a marginal airflow case. Is it as cold as kryonaut extreme - no. Runs about 3-6C hotter under load - but that was also in a case that had more airflow....sooooo...? Will I have to repaste it in a year or two? NO!!! I don't see why this won't last essentially forever. This likely isn't for extreme overclockers looking for the last degree. For me though - building a system that will work without issue and I won't have to fix it (I live 1000 miles away) it's ideal.

I do a little bit of computer building now and then, and whether you build your own computers or not, the thermal paste that conducts heat from the CPU to the cooler will wear out over time. This is especially true with some companies, actually, some of the most expensive computers on the market (and I will leave names out here) which inexplicably use some truly poor quality thermal paste, and which tends to wear out over time. Why does this matter? Over time, the heating and cooling cycles of a CPU as you turn the computer on and off, and as you stress the CPU with normal processing tasks, will eventually make the thermal paste run and become uneven between the CPU and the adjacent cooler designed to pull the heat away from the processor. Over time, this means that heat transference from the CPU to the cooling system can become greatly reduced. Most computers have built-in thermal monitoring systems, which is a good thing, but as the system senses that the CPU is not staying as cool as it should, throttles back the CPU cycle speed to keep the heat down, resulting in decreased CPU performance. And that means your computer runs slower. If you have a computer that you’ve been using for more than three, four, or five years, there is a good chance that this phenomenon is occurring with your system. If that be the case, it’s time to pull the cooler off the CPU, clean off all the thermal paste as carefully as possible leaving as on both the CPU and the cooler in her face and then place new thermal paste, preferably of a much higher quality, on the CPU and remount the cooler. If people would do just that, just that alone would be a tremendous advance. The thing that makes this particular item unique is that it is not a liquid thermal paste, but is a single, solid piece of thermal conductor made using a knowledge of the thermal conductivity of particular materials to provide excellent thermal transmission without using liquid paste. I must confess I was a little skeptical at first, but I had a relatively high performance Intel processor that was beginning to report some overheating through my software monitoring system, and I thought I would give this new approach a try. After popping off the cooling fan and the cooling unit itself, I used at first soft paper towels to carefully remove the worst of the old thermal paste which had run and also had entire gaps just as might be expected (and anywhere there is a gap, little thermal transference is occurring). I then followed up with a clean microfiber cloth and cleaned both the CPU and the cooler interface until they were perfectly clean. At this point, I would normally carefully open up my new thermal paste, carefully distribute it on the surfaces, and try to spread it out as well as possible and remount the cooler. But with this product, all I had to do was drop the little square thermal pad on top of the CPU, ensure that the alignment was correct, and then remount the CPU cooler. It literally took 1/3 of the time (we’re talking about five minutes here) and there was no mess whatsoever at the end that needed to be cleaned up afterward as usual. Now for the big test. I powered up the machine and wondered what I would see. Would my system report overheating, perhaps even worse than before? Big surprise, my system temperature fell significantly, and even below to some extent what it might normally be, and I was delighted. Moreover, here is another really cool thing. If you’re into system building, or have any plans to change CPUs at any time, because of the design of this thermal square, you just remove the cooler unit and lift the square off again, it’s ready for reuse on a new system. (The square does not use any type of sticky adhesive: it is simply held in place by the force of the cooler tightened up against the CPU.) I do not know what the absolute lifecycle of this unit might be, but it is very clearly advertised as reusable, and this has enormous benefits. I am absolutely delighted with this purchase, I am very glad I found out about it, and impressed that it is at such a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
