Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad (120 x 20 x 3 mm, Minus Pad 8)

These thermal grizzly pads are awesome - high performers. They are more expensive for the size though so I bought this 120x20x1mm to apply to the high heat areas like the VRAM on the baseplate. I paired these grizzlys with a cheaper 1mm alternative with a lot more surface area to work with for the less sensitive areas and the backplate (the blue stuff in the image). The combo worked like a dream. These pads don't deform or elongate at all when removing the film, unlike the other brand I was using (AIYANNI). This made it really easy to apply and stay in place (and cut to precise rectangular areas) and just sticky enough! As far as the orientation, I would recommend FLAT side down on components and rough side upward because this will make it easier to remove baseplate in the future without tearing off pads since they will have a better adhesion to the PCB components.When it was all said and done, my card was 20 degrees C cooler!! This was at both resting and full-load. If anybody was worried about the different size of pads on this specific card, fret no more! 1mm is perfect for all areas! Just be sure to carefully cut and apply to the correct areas and components, and you're set!

These pads reduce the temps on your NVMEs. They are very sticky and IMO hard to install because they stick to themselves very easily, and once they do you might as well throw them away. So, taking your time - unlike the "normal" blue type - they are a great addition to a rig, especially if you're an ardent gamer. Are they worth the inflated price? That is a call for each person. If you are a stickler for your SSD temps and money is not the #1 issue - go for it! I summarize what we tell our clients when we build them a custom computer. If you are using Gen5 NVMe's and going to go all out with your gaming - yes, you need them. If you are a casual gamer, you might want to spend the extra on some better fans and use standard thermal pads.

Worked great! I had installed them on the NVME drives under the MB's plates, then my GPU started to act up. I moved them to the GPU and used them till I got some replacement NVME heatsinks! I would reccomend these for sure!

This THERMAL PAD IS THE PERFECT INSULATOR I'VE EVER WORKED WITH. I replaced my old thermal pads in my PS4 PRO CONSOLE and the heat factor IS VERY LOW, considering I also replaced my internal fan. I no longer have to worry about my ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS becoming damaged behind HIGH HEAT ISSUES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AND THE PRICE IS VERY WELL WORTH IT, AS WELL AS THE THICKNESS BEING JUST RIGHT AND MATERIAL VERY EASY TO CUT AND USE. CUT TO FIT AND ABSOLUTELY, NO NOISE AT ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Used it on my PS4 when I took it apart to clean it and change the thermal pads and the thermal paste. Changing all of the thermal stuff definitely help it run smoother and I no longer hear the loud fan like before. I think the quality was great and the thickness was perfect for the PS4. Highly recommend it!

I reposted my laptop and these work just as intended. Knowing what size and depth is a must when repasting, so please keep that in mind.Packaging was okay, I can see how easily the paste strips can get messed up inside the packaging on delivery.

Product is of premium quality, is a fair value, and ranks high in terms of performance. Easy to install, with resealable packaging.

Decided to replace thermal pads during a fan adjustment in my PS4... as the fan blades were slightly hitting a metal plate a year after replacing the original... probably because of all the grabbing, handling, and moving around of my console.I also replaced the thermal grease on the APU. My Playstation 4 runs so much cooler and quiet now. The original thermal pads installed by Sony cover only 50% of the 16 surrounding memory chips. This package has enough to cover each chip when cut to the size of each chip... with a little bit left over. These pads stick well to each chip during assembly too.My fan no longer hits max rpm during gaming as it did before replacing the thermal pads, and thermal paste.
