Review: Good quality - I have a 2 year old laptop that has a AMD cpu and the hard drive that it came with was bad. I didn’t buy it new I bought it from another person and that person I trusted but not anymore because this person failed to tell me that the hard drive was bad anyways I do build desktop computer’s and I repair laptop’s and when I got it it would not boot up so long story short the hard drive cable came off from the motherboard and you can’t solder the cable back onto the motherboard so luckily it has a m.2 pcie slot so I bought a 1TB m.2 and put it in the slot for it ssd and installed it and I put windows 11 on it and it runs like new and I found this heatsink strips and I put one on the side that would get hot and I did a stress test on the m.2 and it never got hot yes warm but not hot and I really put it under a very heavy stress test and with the heatsink strip it kept it cooled. I highly recommend this this product if your computer doesn’t have any heatsink for a m.2. I will buy again.
Review: This stuff is amazingly useful. - I'm not sure this specific version of the product would be the best choice for a PC's processor. But for the Raspberry Pi, it solves so many problems. I'm using an aluminum-finned radiator with hollow, oil-filled copper tubing, which runs through an aluminum heat-sink base. Pretty standard stuff, for the Pi 4B. The copper tubing happens to run directly over the ram. Unfortunately there is quite a gap between the two (1/16"). And, thermal pastes being (generally) non-adhesive; I didn't really want to mound up a glob of it...cause I really doubt it would retain it's shape for long. This pad, however, will hold it's shape indefinitely! I cut one piece to perfectly cover the RAM, a piece which bridges the CPU and the RAM, and even a narrow wedge-like piece to fit into the gap between the copper tubes. There is so much thermal contact with the heat-sink, I can be sure that I'm getting the full potential out of this cooling device. And the fact that it's non-conductive is very reassuring! The same can't be said for all thermal pastes on the market... This product is very versatile! It cuts easily, with an exacto or utility knife, or even scissors. It's not sticky, like glue is... But it can be made to stick, a bit, by simply pressing it into place. I'd say, if you work at all with electronics or computer repair/assembly, you can't go wrong having at least one pack of this on-hand. You'll find a use for it, I'm sure. And probably when you're in a bind, and nothing else will do.

## Features

- EFFICIENT THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY: Silicone and special filler-based thermal pad far outperforms generic and performance oriented pads
- BRIDGING GAPS: Due to its low hardness and great compressibility properties, it works as a perfect gap filler, bridging uneven surfaces and gaps without any problems
- EASY TO INSTALL: The installation of the ARCTIC Thermal Pads is child's play and thus perfect even for beginners. They are non-adhesive and can therefore be placed precisely
- SAFE HANDLING: The pad does not contain metal particles, is electrically insulating and non-capacitive. It is therefore safe to handle, as contact with electrical parts would not cause any kind of damage
- TECHNICAL DATA: Quantity: Pack of 1, Size: 120 x 20 x 1.0 mm, Hardness: 80 Shore 00, Operating temperature: -40~200 ℃, Relative density: 3.2 g/cm³

*by J***L on June 30, 2025*

Muy buena almohadilla térmica. La utilicé para mantenimiento de mi tarjeta gráfica como reemplazo de los pads originales, y también para mejorar la disipación de calor en mis SSDs. Se adapta bien, es fácil de instalar y tiene la flexibilidad justa para cubrir los espacios sin romperse. Cumple perfectamente con lo que promete. Recomendada para quienes hacen mantenimiento o ajustes térmicos en su PC.
