High Performance Thermal Pad for Playstation 3

Exactly as Advertised! These pads are of better quality then the Sony installed pads. Easy to install and work as needed. Seller sends enough to replace all thermal pads in the PS3 with some leftover (trust me, the pad looks small when you open it up, but you will definitely have some left over).Pros-High Quality, thick construction-Easy to cut and use with a pocket knife or X-acto blade-Blue (Personal Preference there)Cons-You have to cut them yourself? I'm lazy.

I don't know how this received so many positive reviews, maybe I'm the only one who has had a bad experience, but I did not get what was promised. One tiny square only big enough to cover a single processor. That was all that was in the mail. 10 cm x 5 cm, enough for an entire unit, is what was promised, but not what was received. Luckily the old pads were still okay enough to make the unit work on all but one larger piece, and the one tiny pad I did get seemed like a great pad worth using. Just wished they actually provided the entire piece so I could use the great quality pad on all the parts, not just one.updated 6/25/13: not only did i not receive what was promised, but they then tried to make me feel stupid on my original post as if i did not know the difference between 10 x 5 and 3 x 3. i originally gave them 2 stars since the tiny piece i did receive seems like a great quality, but since they are rude to customers i can only give one star.

Received grey pads not blue like shown. Not sure if they are upgrade over grey PS3 pads. sent enough if you watch video and mark and cut as shown. Use very sharp sewing scissors or razor. Fan stays on low speed all opf the time but unit still cuts off with flashing red light. using PS3 games. Works fine on PS2 and DVD's. Seems like the video chip for the PS3 side of the 20GB unit still gets too hot or overworked.At least I can use my PS2 games still. GOt a slim 320 GB form 2010 and it has worked flawlessly since 2010.Will be looking for thicker pads to maybe make better contact with motherboard cage.

These pads are extremely great. They are thicker than most generic pads and retains its form even with continued pressure applied. I bought this pad along with new thermal paste strictly to reduce the temperature on my PS3 thus lowering the risk of damage. I have an older 60gb PS3 and its fan would rise up to its 3rd setting (loud) within 15 mins of use. My older 60gb PS3 has 4 fan setting, quiet (start up), silent (barely audible), loud, and supersonic. After changing out the old thermal pads and thermal paste now my PS3 stays at silent most of the time. During the summer it would reach loud after 2-2 1/2 hrs of continuous play while now it stays at silent no matter how long it's kept on. These pads are a great way to reduce heat on older 20/40/60/80gb PS3 especially when combined with new thermal paste. I would completely recommend this to anyone with older model PS3 running really loud, hot, and/or both.

Repaired my ylod PS3 with these pads plus replaced the old thermal compound with Arctic Silver. Works like a charm now!! The manufacture sent a generous sheet of thermal pad, more than enough. I drew a pattern around the old thermal pads and cut them out. Then, peeled both sides and stuck them on. Simple. They also have excellent customer service with quick e-mail responses. I'm very happy and satisfied with this item. Now I just hope my PS3 will last long.

These pads really work great for a replacement pad for the original pads that come with your Playstation. My PS3 recently bit the big one. So I decided to rip it apart and replace all the thermal pads and thermal paste. Once you feels the weight of these pads you know they are good quality. You also get more pad than what is needed. I have a good portion left over. Buy this, you wont be disappointed.

I have fixed many ps3 YLOD, I tried this to see if it would be a better fix the PS3 only lasted a few minutes... LOL wasted my money and time. They also dont send you the described amount of the product. When you look up instructional videos there are none. Their website doesn't have details on how to do the fix only a link to a website where you can send in your PS3 for repiar.

I received something slightly less than 8 cm x 4 cm. After measuring everything out, I was left a single piece that could fit one of the smaller areas that needed the pad. Luckily, I was able to fully apply the pads and not screw up; as there was not enough to replace any mistakes. Overall it was not the 10 cm x 5 cm listed.After ordering this, I also managed to find some thermal pads on another site ([...]) that listed thermal pads at better deals for the 1.5 mm thermal pads. I really do not think there is a difference in getting a thermal pad specific for the ps3 or a pc, but correct me if I am wrong. They may not come as the this size, but you can find pads with higher than 5 W/mK and still end up with a cheaper deal after buying 2 and getting more square area. The biggest thing you need to account for is the (2) ~ 30 mm x ~ 30 mm processors come into contact with the metal shroud.
