Gelid Solutions GP-Extreme 12W-Thermal Pad 80x40 (2pcs) Excellent Heat Conduction, Ideal Gap Filler. Easy Installation. (80x40x2.5 (2pcs))

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Good quality thermal pads for high performance laptops and gpus....best i class

This is an excellent product and does what it says. I am running my raspberry pi 3b in the armor case. With stock thermal pads, my pi overheated in around 20 seconds while running the cpuburn test (temp > 85 degrees). Switched to Gelid pads and ran the test continuously for 40 minutes and the max temperature my pi reached was 65 degrees! I bought all the three variants, i.e., 1.5 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm for my future needs, though for raspberry pi 3b with armor case, 1.5 mm and 2 mm are sufficient. It is helpful to sand the thermal contact points of the armor case to remove the black paint it comes with. This pad is better than some of the commonly available thermal pastes, so go for it with eyes closed.

Using it to cool the VRMs on my GPU. Working well so far, more than a year into their use. Pad is pretty large too, so it'll last me for a while and for multiple devices in the future.

Performs exactly as advertised, no mislabeling nonsense, and it genuinely works. Brought my RTX 3080 hotspot temps from 100°C down to ~65°C. I was thrilled with it in 2021, kicked myself for cheaping out on dodgy pads earlier this year, and had to buy the proper ones again before 2025 was over."

Excellent thermal conductivity worth every penny. Good Pricing. The only issue is i ordered 0.5mm instead i received 2.0mm. Overall best thermal pad

My GPU, which used to run at 90°C, now runs 20°C cooler after pairing it with MX-6 thermal paste — love the product! I’m also getting 20+ more FPS in every game

Do not buy above 1.5 mm if your goal is to use it as thermal pad for CPU or GPU.

1mm thickness was good enough for my graphics card

Mehrere Pads wurden für die Front-/Backplate einer 3090 FE verwendet. Aufgrund der weichen Mischung wird der sonst empfindliche Anpressdruck der Kühler auf die GPU DIE nicht beeinflusst. Die GELID Pads werden aus diesem Grund empfohlen. Die maximal zu erwartende Wärmeübertragung wurde erreicht, die Temperaturen sind seit 4 Wochen konstant und die DIE Temperatur sowie Hotspot Delta sind ebenfalls konstant geblieben und gerade letzteres ist oft das KO Kriterium für andere Pads. Einige Reste habe ich für die Außenseite der GPU Backplate verwendet und ich war überrascht wie gut die Pads an der Backplate und an den nur draufgelegten Kühlern haftet - ohne dabei Spuren zu hinterlassen. Durch die hohe Nachfrage hat sich der Preis natürlich geändert, das ist natürlich unglücklich, aber kaum zu ändern.

Diese Wärmeleitpads absorbieren sehr gut die Wärme. Wirklich qualitativ hochwertig und für den Preis echt klasse. Habe damit knapp 9 Grad VRAM Temperatur bei meiner 3080 herunter gehen können.

Quedó de maravilla acopló exacto

After searching the web/YouTube for the correct thickness of pads. Found the thickness I needed for both front and back of GPU. I have the latest version of Nvidia RTX 3080 Founders Edition. Which require different thickness than the original 3080 Fe. For the back, I used the 3.0mm thickness Gelid Extremes. For the front, I used 1.5mm thickness Gelid Ultimates. Under load, VRAM temp went from 96 degrees Celsius down to ~70 degrees Celsius. I redid thermal paste. However, I did recall what I had prior to modification. I used Noctua H2 thermal paste. Under load getting ~ 59 degrees Celsius for GPU temp. The temps are with 65% fan speed for GPU. When cutting pads for both front and back. Don’t be concerned with cutting pads to completely over cover the chips. Try to be as close as possible when cutting and covering the chips. Reason being is because you may risk thermal pad overlap sections of the PCB. That would prevent you from closing the GPU enclosure properly. Causing not a good contact with die and heatsink. Then you’d have to open the GPU again. And trim the pads. To get better and straight cuts of your pads. Get a clean sharp utility knife or surgical type of knife with a ruler. I bought a arts and crafts set that came with a couple of knives, cutting mat, and metal ruler. Helped lots in comparison to using scissors.

Replaced thermal pads on a RTX 3090 and this significantly reduced the temps I was having
