Gelid Solutions GP-Extreme Thermal Pad 80 x 40 x 0.5 mm Excellent Heat Conduction, Ideal Gap Filler Easy Installation Thermal Conductivity 12W

Works exactly as described. Thanks!

My Xbox Series X was overheating a lot. I replaced the thermal paste and the thermal pads with these thermal pads and the fan has not kicked into overdrive since.Very easy to install, great quality, and seems to work perfect.

I got these 1.5mm pads to re-pad a FE 3080 Ti. Hopefully this review shows up on all pad thicknesses as I originally purchased 2mm pads based online guides and videos. I got my card March 26 2022, it seems the heatsink has changed, see another review with the same hypothesis. The core was not making much contact to the heatsink with 2mm pads, memory temps were amazing but the core was thermal throttling at the desktop. I had used a manual spread method for the paste and only the very center about a dime size had made any contact. I ordered the 1.5mm pads and now I have memory temps about 15-20c cooler and the core peaks at 70c under full load. I used 3mm pads on the back but 2mm might work as I can see a bit of bulge on the backplate, I used a 1mm pad on the NVDD on the back as it seemed the stock super thin pad wasn’t making much contact after adding the 3mm pads.I had some trouble with a couple of the pads not wanting to stick, however most held in place, it seemed to be related to the material it was on, RAM and PCB had no issues, the NVDD didn’t stick very well, it was just a minor inconvenience though.I wish these pads were a bit cheaper especially considering I wasted money and time with the 2mm pads. At least they are cheaper than fujipoly pads

The pads are soft, which you want when placing heatsinks on the chips and effective! But the problem is it comes simply packaged in the equivalent as a heavy card-stock envelope that is only slighly larger than the pad itself. THis lends itself to the edges all getting compressed, making an already small pad, smaller. The Gelid folks should put small bends in the cardboard or better yet, place an equally thick plastic border around the pad to maintain consistent thickness. If you need to use the whole pad for your project, you may have to buy two (depending on how gingerly the packages were handled in delivery).

I purchased this product to replace the 1mm+ pads that came on my motherboard M.2 cover. The stock pads were too thick and caused my NVMe drive to bend when the cover was installed. It made me nervous so I swapped it out. The new pad sits flush, and the drive stays nice and cool. I did tear a nice little hole in the pad while trying to pull the protective plastic off, but that hasn’t impacted performance. Definitely go slow and use caution while installing this product.

4 Years later I finally did the repad and besides being WAY more expensive than I thought they would be these worked great! I followed the online guides and you can see by my user benchmark results it works so don't be scared!Note these ones to get more mushy when used and if you want to remove them from your GPU later you must heat the GPU up first or you risk difficulty and damage!

If your RTX3080 FE GPU is made before 2021 it will use the old style pad thickness. 2mm on the side with the GPU Die (Front). And on the back plate side it will use the 3mm pads.(Date is printed on backside of the cooler, mine says some day in 2020)Now if your 3080 GPU is made in 2021 and beyond, keep in mind they redisgned the GPU cooler ever so slightly that it needs 1.5mm pads on the front. And 2mm pads on the backIt makes a big difference. Don't waste money like I did and buy the right pads right away.Also the pads are not exactly 80x40 as advertised. They are 79x39! But still gets the job done. Maybe my ruler is to blame...but I doubt it.If you're buying a card from a miner and want to repad, check to see if it was already done, and if so just repaste the die and reassemble to see if that gives you a benefit. Chances are you won't need to repad again at all.Hope this helps someone struggling to find this information.

Really good quality thermal pads
