Dual Size Heatsink Copper Pad Shims+Thermal pad Kit, for Cooling Laptop GPU CPU IC Chips VGA RAM Router Copper Shim (24pcs)

Thermal pads need throwing in the trash - a total waste of time ALL OF THEM.COPPER SHIMS or small copper plates would be a better description are BRILLIANT in their idea and they work superb.I am only reviewing the copper pieces because I use ARCTIC MX4 thermal compound directly on the cpu and the intel chipet ... THEN i put the copper piece on top then I put a 2nd small splodge of MX4 on top of that and finally screw the heatsink on top.My HP laptop now works like brand new :) and is 24c when idle and around 36c when I play an old game " worms armageddon"It appeared the previous owner of my laptop had used thermal pads on the cpu and both appeared melted or gone, hence the overheating problem that prompted me to purchase this lot - when I compared prices it was cheaper to buy this bundle, than it was to purchase JUST copper pieces.

Combination of the copper heatsinks with thermal pads and Arctic Silver for CPU drastically reduced operating temperatures of MBP.We are giving 5 stars to the seller & manufacturer for providing good product for the value.Thanks

Bought this copper shim and thermal pad package because of the much better thermal conductivity of copper metal vs any type of thermal pad available. The installation was very simple for my M1 Macbook Air, and I used all of the copper shims and thermal pads in the process. After installation I went about testing the effectiveness of the modification using Cinebench R23 to stress the CPU to maximum. I ran 3, 10 minute runs for the multi core, and single core. The runs were all made back to back, so to not allow the computer to cool down between runs. The test results did conclusively prove that the thermal modifications prevented the computer from throttling due to heat. The resulting test numbers matched those of the M1 Macbook Pro, which has active cooling fan. The only thing that I noted is that if I used a case (hard shell, with venting for the bottom), the computer would throttle as if there were no thermal modification at all. You cannot use a case (at least the bottom have of the case), if you want your M1 Macbook Air to perform the same as the M1 Macbook Pro after investing the time and $ for the modification (which is very minimal effort and expense). Since I rarely run my Mac with any programs which task the CPU at 100% for extensive time periods (I use Photo and Video editing mostly, but nothing truly intensive), I don't need to remove my Mac case at all as the computer stays relatively cool. However, on the very rare times that I know I will be taxing the CPU for extended periods, I will remove the bottom half of the case and the Mac will perform flawlessly without any thermal throttling.7/23/21 Update: the included thermal pads in this package are low quality and do not transfer heat well. I bought a Thermalright pad and removed the copper shims and cheap pads while just using the Thermalright. The results were much better. Just buy a quality thermal pad and skip the copper shims and cheap pads.
