Gelid SolutionsHeatPhase Ultra Compatible with AMD, 40x40x0.2mm, 8.5W/mk Thermal Pad for CPU, Easy Application, Non-Electrical Conductive, Color Gray

I'm guessing this is like the recent PTM7950 phase change material. The advantage to this is it won't dry out and will resist pump out. Meaning I shouldn't have to bother with repasting ever.2 weeks ago I installed it in an am5 ryzen 5 7500f (7600 w/o gpu) with a thermaltake assassin. My idle/light use temp is 2c(42c) higher than ambient and max temp in games is 20c(60c) higher than ambient. Very acceptable since this CPU can handle 90cWas easy to install I put sleeve in the freezer for 20 minutes while I installed and cleaned the CPU. Took off one side of the plastic (of course the clear side peeled off first lol) and aligned over CPU and applied left to right like putting on a sticker. Lightly rubbed the surface a few times to help push air out and push it into micro cracks. Lifted the left edge and rolled the stuff that was not on the die with a blade then when it got to the die pulled the white sheet parallel with itself and came off smoothlyPurchased 3 originally because I intend to use on 2 gpus as well since idle temps have climbed up and figured I'd mess up at least once

Tried this thermalpaste sheet because of thermal issues with my 13900k. Once replace thermal drop by at least 6 degrees great heat dissipation . It was so easy to applied. The price might be a little steep but it works great and the quality is great. They have different sizes including amd. I would definitely recommend.

I’m flabbergasted. My score in the benchmark Superstition went up to 15198 from 14100. The stability is amazing. Highly recommended. I noticed Thermalgrizzly sells their version for around $5 more. I think you’ll be fine with the cheaper substitution. I’m putting one on my rx6950xt next.

Probably the simplest way to replace thermal paste/compound on your CPU. Peel the plastic on BOTH sides and put it on your cooler or CPU. Remount the cooler and done. No guessing on how big of a pea-sized drop you need to use. No "X" or other patterns to remember. No need to decide whether or not to "spread the paste evenly" or leave it be.That said, it's hard to screw up putting or replacing thermal paste/compound on your CPU so, I'm not sure who this is marketed for because thermal paste is VERY forgiving and a tube is more than single use. Sure, it can be a bit messy but this is no different. It's much like the pads that come preinstalled with coolers. Most of it will squish out when installed, so if this is intended for people who perform standard CPU cooler maintenance, they're not really avoiding the mess. If you are performing regular CPU cooler maintenance, then you're probably comfortable with thermal paste/compound and probably even considered using liquid metal. That said, this is rated for decent thermal conductivity so it's not any better/worse than what you would normally get out of a tube. Typically, the preinstalled pads on coolers perform worse than even the worst pastes (generally, speaking).0.2mm thermal pads are hard to find so that could explain the price. That said, for the same price you can get a small tube of high-quality (12W/mk+) thermal paste which possibly gives you two to three uses or a larger tube of lower-quality (6-10W/mk) and get more uses out of it. Sure, tube paste/compounds dry up over time if you don't properly store them... but the same can be said for this thing. You can also find larger 0.2mm pads as part of a "kit" for roughly the same price. This means you could cut those pads and get one (possibly two) more uses.Bottom line, it's preference. For me, it's a hard pass. I have tubes of paste and compound and I'll probably keep using those.

One of the things I HATE doing when building a PC is putting the thermal paste down when installing the CPU. If you're like me, you're constantly wondering if you put too much down, too little or just enough. Going online doesn't help either as it drives you mad since everyone appears to have different ideas on how much you should put down.So enter in this new solution from Gelid Solutions - a thermal pad instead! Now this is not thermal paste in pad form - it's actually a phase-change type of material patented by Gelid that becomes more fluid with heat and fills in any gaps where your CPU contacts your air cooler (or water cooler). It's supposed to be better than thermal paste.The one I'm reviewing is for AMD CPUs, so if you have an Intel CPU you'll need to get the Intel version for this as the pad is sized differently for each brand. As far as installing it, though, you do still have to be a bit attentive and careful when putting it on as you don't want to rip the pad itself or put it off center. It's not difficult, but slightly tedious. Although, certainly less messy!Now, I don't have the professional setup to do in-depth testing - I'm just an average Joe at home - but I did do the same Cinebench tests on my AMD 5950x before I replaced the pad and after - and I came in about 1 degree Celsius LOWER with the pad than the paste. Now I know the result isn't groundbreaking or really "scientific" in any way, but the fact that it's lower is a plus for me. However, that's really not the reason why I picked this up. I picked this up because it's far less messy and easier to install.So, in short, I'm very happy with this as my PC is basically running the same after the install of this pad as it was before with the paste. This pad isn't going to blow you away with you suddenly seeing your temps drop 5-10 degrees. No, that's not going to happen. The reason you SHOULD pick this up is because of the BIG and MASSIVE positives: it's 100% less messy than thermal paste AND you don't have to worry about how much to put on. Those two reasons alone are absolutely why I snatched this up and I, personally, could really care less if I get lower temperatures or not. Why couldn't they have come up with something like this 20 years ago?I'm all in on this and I will be buying it for my next build.

This pad works well but is expensive since it is single use. For the cheaper price, you can get a paste which is good for multiple uses. This is a decent option if you are uncomfortable with putting paste on yourself.

It keep temps 2 degrees lower then the regular artic silver I was using on my Processor.

Un po' difficile da applicare ma meglio di altri ptm. Risultato molto buono, temperature finalmente ottimali

rtx 4080 pump out after many repastes this lowerd hot spot to 79.0 c

Used this on my AMD GPU instead of a CPU.My hotspot delta got way better.
