ARCTICTP-2 (APT2560): Economic Thermal Pad, 120 x 20 x 0.5 mm (1 Piece) - Thermal pad, Excellent Heat Conduction, Low Hardness, Ideal Gap Filler, Easy Installation, Safe handling - Blue

If you're looking into these to use in a PS4, the 1.0mm are excellent and I used them in my personal PS4 Pro. The stock pads that come in the PS4/Pro do not cover the whole memory chip and this causes overheating even if you've done a thermal paste change and dusted your console. There are 6 chips on the CPU die side and the backside there are 8 which are larger. Cut the thermal pads all to size for both sets of chips. If you're wondering about post-results, my personal PS4 Pro is very quiet even for having a Delta fan which used to be noisy before the thermal paste/pads change. For reference, my PS4 Pro is a CUH-7115B and I used Arctic MX-4 thermal paste for the CPU die.

If you have a steamy laptop, then these are great for connecting your heat-producing areas to your laptop chassis. If you have a laptop with aluminum or metal body, then use these pads to create contact points to the metal body. The metal body has a much larger surface area and can absorb and dissipate heat much better. This will lead to overall cooler-running laptop. I did this with my laptop and it lowered the temps of my laptop quite a bit. Many online reviewers say this thermal pad is as good as some thermal pastes which is amazing. Installation is easy, they are sticky and will adhere to most surfaces. You can easily use a pair of scissors to cut them to whatever size you need.Since putting these on my laptop, I've noticed increased temperatures on my aluminum chassis (to the touch) during gaming sessions but decreased temps on my CPU and GPU cores. This allows me to sustain full CPU and GPU speeds longer before the laptop starts throttling speeds to keep temps under control. If you use your chassis as a heat sink, a side effect is that the chassis will get warmer. I can FEEL the chassis getting warm from my fingertips. However the increased surface area removes heat away from the critical components and can dissipate heat faster. If you have a cooling pad with a fan, then it makes the cooling pad more efficient. Unfortunately there is NO MAGIC BULLET for laptop cooling, the heat HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE! You'd rather it go to the chassis then the cores.I would order the thinner pads unless you absolutely know you have a huge gap and need the thicker ones. You can always fold the thinner pads on top of each other to fill in the bigger gaps. Finally this stuff is fairly cheap. Buy the larger surface area to get the better deal. I ran out of the small ones fairly quickly.

It came sandwiched between two layers of soft plastic. One layer peeled off really well. The other layer adhered to the thermal pad too well and all it would do is stretch and tear the pad. I ended up with a wadded torn mess and a product that didn't do what it was supposed to do because I couldn't get it of its backing. I won't purchase this again.

Up until yesterday I planned on a 3 or 4 star review saying it appeared to do the job just as well as the stock pads on my gigabyte gtx 1070 g1 with micron vram. After the results I got playing around with mem overclocking yesterday I had to rate this at 5 stars. All the .5mm pads on my card got replaced with this stuff and the gddr5 seemed to really like the change. Prior I could only hit an effective speed of 8750mhz for the memory before stability became an issue. Since applying the arctic pads to the vram I am now hitting an effective speed of 9250mhz on micron gddr5. Unlike the 8750mhz from before the new 9250mhz is 100% stable in every situation. Some games would crash at 8750mhz but now 9250mhz is rock solid. I didn't think such an oc was possible with the micron stuff but it appears some of the limitations I was having was caused by the vram temperature. I even made sure to confirm the speeds with multiple monitoring software and benchmarks. All benchmarks showed a sizable increase in performance once the memory hit 9000mhz effective and continued to show gains until I stopped for the night at 9250mhz. I wish this stuff was cheaper but considering it is supposedly middle of the road quality I am impressed by its performance. If you have a gigabyte card this stuff is definitely a step up from the stock pads and worth buying if you are trying to get every last drop of performance out of your vram.

I put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes and then cut it with an Exacto knife. Most of my cuts were clean but there was a little tearing like the heat tape was dried out. I also wished it was a bit more sticky so I could ensure placement where I wanted. Since the back cover of the XPS15 sat on the tape, the tape stayed in place and worked perfectly for transferring heat and cooling my computer.Previous to the heat tape, my XPS15 fan would run on high, even when no applications were open. I had tried loading a previous BIOS and running ThrottleStop to undervolt my processor but this wasn't enough to keep my XPS15 quiet. I put the XPS15 away and decided to write it off as a bad purchase.Several weeks later, I installed the heat tape. I now use the XPS15 every day for work. I don't work it too hard. I connect to other computers with MSTSC. If I run a video, the fan will start after a couple of minutes. But the noise is nothing like what it made prior to the heat tape and without any applications running at all.Note: the amount of heat tape was just enough for me to cover the chips that were running hot. I didn't have any left over. If you are in doubt, you might consider buying two of these.If you are reading this, you probably suspect that have a use for heat tape. Maybe it will help you too. At the very least, it is a very cheap experiment. For me, it made my favorite laptop usable again.

50mm is literally the Perfect amount for replacing all 16 pads on an original PS4. I had to very carefully cut it so i had enough. The pads adhere okay, like others said they arent super sticky so just be careful when putting the board down if putting on ps4. Its a little pricey for the small square you get but it was enough for what i needed so i cant complain.

OMG diese Paste ist der Hammer.... Hab eine PS4 Pro (das erste Modell) und mir ist aufgefallen das der Lüfter immer bei Spielen wie GT Sports, Horizon Zero Dawn, Paragon (besonders wenn im Draft gerade war) immens auf Hochtouren lief... Ich dachte zuerst an den Delta Lüfter der ja bekanntlich der "Düsenjet" ist im Gegensatz zum Nidec Lüfter der in den neuen Pro Modellen verbaut ist.... Kurze Rede langer Sinn..... Tauscht einfach die Paste aus und kauft euch die 1mm dicken Thermalpads von Artic...Ich garantiere Euch das die Konsole so leise ist danach wie am ersten Tag (und ich hab sie ausgiebig schon gestresst gerade und sie ist einfach nur pssssssssst)...UPDATE nach genau 6 Monaten :Sie flüstert immernoch und das obwohl ich die Konsole jeden Tag für 16-20 Std am laufen habe.... TOPUPDATE NACH 2 JAHREN : IMMERNOCH LEISE

I used to replace some damaged pads on my GPU, worked perfectly and easy to work with too. Some tips - throw in the fridge for 30 mins prior to applying, this will make it more durable and more "solid" as long as you work fast. When cutting to size, do not remove the protective plastic. When applying to a component, remove one side of plastic, and put that face down first, apply a small amount of pressure to help the pad adhere, then use your finger nails or a tweezer to remove the top layer of plastic.I believe following these instructions will avoid any of the pitfalls that the negative reviewers have fallen into.

I bought this to improve the performance on my XPS 15 9560 laptop.This laptop is powerful, but there is a slight design fault. The VRMs on the laptop have no cooling capacity (no thermal pads or heatsinks). When you use the laptop at high load for a long period of time, the CPU and GPU temperatures may be cool, but the VRM temperatures can become really high (as high as 95C!). When this happens the laptop will thermal throttle, lowering its clock rates and reducing performance.I followed an online guide and stacked 3 of the 1.5mm thick 6W thermal pads ontop of eachother on three of the hottest VRM chips, such that the thermal pads touch both the VRM and the aluminium back panel of the laptop. This essentially turns the laptop's back panel into a giant heatsink for the pads.Since doing this mod, (as well as reapplying thermal paste) my laptop no longer thermal throttles, meaning when I play video games my frame rate doesn't randomly shoot down after about 20 minutes of gaming.Overall these did exactly what I bought them for. They were a little expensive and there are cheaper alternatives from other brands, but I wanted to be sure they were compressible enough to still allow the back panel to fit properly.

(VERSIONE BOZZA 0.3 - se ti piace questa recensione fammelo sapere, chiedi nei commenti quello vorresti trovarci, proverò a migliorarla... grazie)Ho usato il pad 50x50x1.5mm per migliorare la dissipazione del VRM su un Dell XPS 9560 e il risultato è ottimo, la temperatura massima del VRM è scesa da 95° a 80°: consiglio questa modifica a tutti i possessori del medesimo notebook (vedi foto allegata).Sull' XPS 9560 il modulo di regolazione del voltaggio (VRM) non è collegato a nessun dissipatore e non è investito da un flusso d'aria forzato, nonostante ciò deve fornire fino a 45W al processore Intel i7 e circa 50W alla Nvidia 1050, e questo è il motivo per cui scalda così tanto.Questo pad è dichiarato con una conducibilità di 6,0 W/mK, che non è particolarmente elevata, il che lo rende perfetto per il VRM dell' XPS 9560.Il fondo del notebook è in alluminio e tagliando e sovrapponendo 3 strati di questo pad si riesce a creare un "ponte" termico tra i MOSFET, che sono il componente più caldo del VRM, con il fondo del notebook in modo da dissipare il calore.Il motivo per cui conviene usare un pad con conducibilità medio/bassa come questo è che il fondo del notebook ha un potere di dissipazione limitato e un pad con un grado termico migliore tenderebbe a saturarlo, abbassando l'efficacia della modifica.Nonostante i MOSFET siano progettati per una temperatura di funzionamento fino a 105°, farli lavorare più freschi dovrebbe ridurre lo stress termico e prolungarne la vita, ma sopratutto disinnesca l'odioso Thermal Throttling, ovvero la riduzione delle prestazioni della scheda grafica causata dal calore eccessivo.Sconsiglio viceversa di sostituire gli altri pad termici installati di serie nel 9560, specialmente quelli installati sotto al dissipatore in metallo.Si tratta di pad morbidissimi, non facilmente reperibili, scelti da Dell per modellarsi secondo necessità sotto la pressione del dissipatore. Usando altri pad più duri si rischia di compromettere il contatto delle zone più importanti (CPU e GPU) e nella peggiore ipotesi di piegare il dissipatore stesso, che è in rame ed è molto delicato.AGGIORNAMENTO 1:Ho scoperto che conviene usare questo pad anche sul PCH. Vi spiego perchè...Una caratteristica incomprensibile dell'XPS 15 9560 è che quando è collegato all'alimentatore, le sue ventole tendono a girare sempre, seppur al minimo.Questo accade anche se non sta ricaricando la batteria, la CPU è sostanzialmente in idle e le temperature sono tutte molto basse.In giro sui forum si trovano diversi messaggi di lamentela in tal senso, in effetti anche sul mio XPS i7 quando tutte le temperature erano intorno ai 40° le ventole continuavano a girare al minimo e pur essendo relativamente poco rumorose in un ambiente molto silenzioso si fanno sentire.Tra le varie temperature mi sono accorto che quella relativa al PCH, pur non avendo grosse escursioni termiche, ovvero non sale molto neanche sotto carico, aveva una temperatura minima intorno ai 45°.Il calore generato dal PCH è sostanzialmente irrisorio, l'XPS monta un chipset Intel HM175 e le specifiche dichiarano un TDP di appena 2,6W, il problema è che nell'XPS anche questo componente ha una dissipazione completamente passiva, non ha nessuna alettatura e non è investito da nessun flusso d'aria forzato, per cui ventole accese o no, il calore che genera, seppur poco, tende ad accumularsi sul componente.Per questo ho provato ad applicare 3 strati di questo pad sul PHC, in modo da creare un ponte termico tra il chip e il fondo in alluminio del notebook.Il PCH è il chip dall'aspetto metallico lucido, praticamente guardando il notebook da sotto si trova al centro tra la batteria, la RAM e la ventola destra.Grazie al pad, un po del calore del PCH viene trasferito sul fondo del notebook e la sua temperatura si abbassa di circa 10°, quanto basta per stare sotto alla soglia di temperatura che tiene sempre accese le ventole.Nelle stagioni meno calde, con questa modifica le ventole tendono ad accendersi meno, il notebook è più silenzioso e i suoi componenti più freschi allo stesso tempo: BINGO! ;)AGGIORNAMENTO 2:A partire dal BIOS versione 1.7.1, Dell ha migliorato l'algoritmo di gestione delle ventole e una bassa temperatura del PCH risulta ancora più efficace per zittire il più possibile il notebook. Consiglio ulteriormente il padding del PCH, specialmente con una temperatura ambientale non troppo elevata, la differenza con e senza pad sul PCH è decisamente apprezzabile.Spero che queste informazioni vi siano utili.

Con esta alfombrilla térmica tu equipo electrónico nunca más se va a sobrecalentar, tanto así que estoy pensando en usarlo en las truzas a ver si así ya no andan pegados todo el día con el calor de Veracruz
