PS4 PRO IST LAUTLOS
OMG diese Paste ist der Hammer.... Hab eine PS4 Pro (das erste Modell) und mir ist aufgefallen das der Lüfter immer bei Spielen wie GT Sports, Horizon Zero Dawn, Paragon (besonders wenn im Draft gerade war) immens auf Hochtouren lief... Ich dachte zuerst an den Delta Lüfter der ja bekanntlich der "Düsenjet" ist im Gegensatz zum Nidec Lüfter der in den neuen Pro Modellen verbaut ist.... Kurze Rede langer Sinn..... Tauscht einfach die Paste aus und kauft euch die 1mm dicken Thermalpads von Artic...Ich garantiere Euch das die Konsole so leise ist danach wie am ersten Tag (und ich hab sie ausgiebig schon gestresst gerade und sie ist einfach nur pssssssssst)...UPDATE nach genau 6 Monaten :Sie flüstert immernoch und das obwohl ich die Konsole jeden Tag für 16-20 Std am laufen habe.... TOPUPDATE NACH 2 JAHREN : IMMERNOCH LEISE

Ideal for multiple uses - just use it right though
I used to replace some damaged pads on my GPU, worked perfectly and easy to work with too. Some tips - throw in the fridge for 30 mins prior to applying, this will make it more durable and more "solid" as long as you work fast. When cutting to size, do not remove the protective plastic. When applying to a component, remove one side of plastic, and put that face down first, apply a small amount of pressure to help the pad adhere, then use your finger nails or a tweezer to remove the top layer of plastic.I believe following these instructions will avoid any of the pitfalls that the negative reviewers have fallen into.

Great to stop VRM Thermal Throttling on XPS 15 Laptops
I bought this to improve the performance on my XPS 15 9560 laptop.This laptop is powerful, but there is a slight design fault. The VRMs on the laptop have no cooling capacity (no thermal pads or heatsinks). When you use the laptop at high load for a long period of time, the CPU and GPU temperatures may be cool, but the VRM temperatures can become really high (as high as 95C!). When this happens the laptop will thermal throttle, lowering its clock rates and reducing performance.I followed an online guide and stacked 3 of the 1.5mm thick 6W thermal pads ontop of eachother on three of the hottest VRM chips, such that the thermal pads touch both the VRM and the aluminium back panel of the laptop. This essentially turns the laptop's back panel into a giant heatsink for the pads.Since doing this mod, (as well as reapplying thermal paste) my laptop no longer thermal throttles, meaning when I play video games my frame rate doesn't randomly shoot down after about 20 minutes of gaming.Overall these did exactly what I bought them for. They were a little expensive and there are cheaper alternatives from other brands, but I wanted to be sure they were compressible enough to still allow the back panel to fit properly.

Excellent
Excellent semi-passive cooler, which means when the processor is idling (and cool enough) the fan will stop spinning. The heatsink can handle up to 150 watts tdp (thermal design power) which is the amount of heat generated by the cpu to be dissipated through the heatink. Using it for the Ryzen 5 1600 which has a tdp of 65 watts, so the cooler gives a huge amount of head room.The only negative with this cooler is that the instructions are practically non-existent, and even online, the instructions are minimal. There are three types of screw: 1. long, 2. stubby, and 3. short / slender. The AM4 socket requires the short/slender screws. When fitting the heatsink, you'll probably need to remove the fan in order to access the holes for the screws, and after it is fitted, attach the fan again. Despite the poor instructions, Arctic Freezer coolers are excellent.

An awesome thermal pad!
I needed a 1mm thermal pad to replace the torn factory pad on a Dell Inspiron 1525's chipset and this fits perfectly. After fitting this pad the chipsets idle temperature has dropped by about 10 degrees C according to Aida64. Texture wise it feels soft and squishy, just like the old Dell installed T-flex 540 pad.You'll need a sharp pair of small scissors like on a Swiss Army knife to get a clean cut, otherwise the pad could tear around the edges. I measured the old pad for this laptop to be around 20mmx16mm so I aimed for those measurements when it came to cutting a size.Unlike thermal paste where less is more you should aim for a small amount of overhang on all sides as this will prevent the pad from slowly migrating once the heatsink compresses it.Once cut to size gently remove the clear plastic from one side and seat it upon the die of the chip (reflective shiny part), try not to touch the die or exposed pad as skin oils will hinder thermal transfer. When the pad is correctly seated go ahead and remove the other piece of plastic covering it.And that's pretty much it, as the heatsink is tightened down the pad will compress and mold into shape. On my laptop the processor and chipset share the same heatsink so I had to clean up and apply fresh paste to the processor at the same time (see the included picture).This pad isn't intended as a drop in replacement for paste, paste is for filling in very small micro gaps whilst these pads are for larger gaps. Not replacing like for like could lead to overheating and even permanent damage to the chip.tl;drThis thermal pad works great.
