Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Had a the wraith spire with the stock thermal paste and this graphite heat sink. Mounting the pad is pretty easy and it covers the entire apu. Be sure to at least take your cpu out when applying this between it and your cpu cooler.

Best paste solution for overclocking temps (my opinion). Surprisingly this thermal pad meets the same nominal temperatures i got using arctic silver 5, albeit maybe running a degree or two higher than with as5. Will stay on paste on future devices.

I didn't hesitate as i put my core i7 3770k-based desktop together. The 5800x idles around 45c and reaches 65c while gaming at 1440p ultra. If you order the 40x40 it's the perfect size on the alder lake setup.



Cons

This is just a scam, at least on intel procs. I believe these reviewers are either lying or plants from within the company. My biggest issue is that it quotes the best performance when in reality it's quite mediocre.

Quality


I went with the 2pack with the idea of using them in my laptop as well


And this helps me to save time and not have to worry about overdoing it with the paste


With the new set up under load gaming temps never get above 60 and hover around 55 degrees


Unless youre not going to move the part with the actual gpu that has this thermal pad will be placed on it otherwise it will slide around

Packaging/appearance


Best of all you need never have to worry if you put too little or too much normal thermal paste on the cpugpu


Not as good performance as paste its about 5 degrees hotter than quality paste


I didnt want to mess around with thermal goop

Competitiveness


Im using them on a 2010 macbookpro and 2009 imac


Im using this pad on a ryzen 9 5950x and noctua nhd15 chromax


I upgraded my system to include a ryzen 5 5600x and mounting this thermal graphite was way too easy


Didnt think it was going to do the job i have a ryzen 5 3600x and it keeps it cooler then the artic 5 did

    The smaller pad is maybe too small for a newer 12gen intel cpu


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I will never go back to paste


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One of the most irritating things about upgrading a cpu or cpu cooler is dealing with thermal paste


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Always make a mess of everything no matter how i apply it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Never know if i have too much or too little on there


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Cant see if it covers the whole thing once the cooler is on


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im sure the cooler helps but with this pad instead of the arctic silver 5 im seeing idle temps of 38 where i used to have 50


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    And yes i know im using 1213 year old hardware with a 130 watt tdp and this pad doesnt care
