ARCTIC TP-3: Premium Performance Thermal Pad, 120 x 20 x 1.5 mm (Stackable to 2.0 mm Without Performance Loss), 4 Pieces - High Performance, Particularly Soft, Ideal Gap Filler, Bridging Gaps

Nice and easy thermal pads to cut that I put in my MSI GS75 laptop.Seems to be working good, in addition I was also able to clean the fans and apply MX-6 as well :)Maybe the 1.5 thicknesss would have worked as well but it looked close enough. Didn’t want to take apart everything again.Still have a little extra left to in my specific case, thought I read that they do eventually degrade over time.Good value for the cost.

It's working good for my gen 5 nvme. Keeping it nice and cool in combination with the new heat sink. The thermal pads the heat sink came with were too thin, these 1.5 mm bad boys were much better.

Works as described. This was my first time changing this style of thermal material, so I messed up at first. Thankfully, there's more than enough to make mistakes and fix your errors.

Very satisfied. This stuff is fragile but after handling it carefully and installing it I am happy to report a decrease on NVMe 1 of 9 degrees cooler and the other slots 2-5 are 6 degrees cooler. Its is making a huge difference and I expect it will increase the life of $1600 worth of NVMe's.

The product seems to have decent performance. It comes in 4 precut peices, however it is very difficult to tell ar first glance. The bottom plastic plate is one solid piece but if you pull at the top where the blue plastic is you can start peeling the separate pieces. Make sure you keep the blue plastic untill you stick it on your ssd , etc. The pieces are pre-cut widthwise for a ssd drive (most of them) but you are going to have to adjust the lenght with scissors. Overall the engineering job of the packaging was i china flop. If you ar buying this for a laptop it is a better idea to figure out what is the space from the chip/ssd where you are going to install it to the lid of the laptop. As this is heat transfer material it works by connecting both surfaces together where the lid of your device will be used as a heatsink. Therefore a metal chassis laptoo would be effective when using this product where as a plastic one would less to no use to using this product. Stacking this product at least once, looks to be ok. The other way to play around is of you have a fan effective moving the air from where the pad is being installed. Other instances of using this product won't give any usefull results.

Great for me the best option.

These things felt cool to the touch and were rather soft and malleable. Some tips:The strips are LONG. I cut them in half, but for some SSD's you'll need to cut it a little longer than half way for full coverage.I recommend getting thinner pads if you are using an SSD in an external case. The one I use scrapped a lot of and made a mess.These were still great, though.

The idea is to put this heat spreader on a SSD drive, and have it get compressed on the metal chassis of a laptop. Great idea, but many people should not go inside of their laptops. My latest and greatest laptop had the SSD drive heat already addressed with a silicone cushion, like this product, and a copper plate!In Ubuntu, install PSensor, and turn on Start Up automatically, and turn on Notifications and Alarm gate at like 70 degrees C and 80% CPU use, and put the "experimental" values in the notification area.These should work well on RAM, too. Blow out the fan regularly with compressed air, and way cool!I no longer screw around with CPUs. Mine are now soldered in and whatever cooling they have is what it is from the factory.My PSensor window is a 'hide on startup'.Remember, heat is the killer!I gave three stars for "Easy To Install." I've been in phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, and when I do it for others, "I am not bonded/insured. I do not indemnify any damage or utter destruction that I do."I will experiment with an external M.2 PCIe enclosure, but unfortunately, the case slides over the length of the SSD.Without heat spreading/cooling, quality parts will throttle/slow down, and cheap parts will kill themselves. Back in the day, I was overclocking an Athlon Thunderbird, and had a bit of an electrical fire, I guess. Where there is smoke, there is fire, right?There are zillions of 'going inside' YouTubes, and I have a set of 'pry bars'. Knowing which screws, where to ply the clips, if any, and where things are glued (tablets), makes invasion safer.Find your exact model, and search for exact instructions with pictures and/or video.Like surgery:See one.Do one.Teach.UPDATE: These can also be used for RAM.
