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

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.

Really good quality and longevity. Thickness was accurate and was able to cut to size. Very easy to apply and peel. Saw temps go down on my devices by about 8-15degrees.

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.

Replaced the thermal paste on my laptop, runs like factory temps again, but it does seem to loose thermal conductivity when it warms up, when I replaced my ps3's thermal paste with the pads it worked beautifully though, running cooler than factory

Works good! Had to double up on one section but way better temps and cooling!!! Arctic is always the way to go!!!

Excelente Producto! 100% Recomendado....

Came as described, very easy to use and cut, high quality and my graphics card is running significantly cooler after repadding it
