Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet (25x25x0.2mm) – Ultra High Thermal Conductivity Graphene Thermal Pad – Perfect Alternative for Thermal Paste on CPU/GPU/PS4/PS5/Xbox – Made in Sweden

Any reviews complaining about how fragile and easily damaged these pads are from clumsy impatient people who can not be bother to slow down and take their time in order to use it properly. I had no issues handling and applying this pad with no damage and used the method of using the absolute teeniest tiniest little dot of thermal paste on each corner with a light tap in order to keep the pad in place while delicately lowering and screwing down a massive cpu air cooler with zero issue. Take your time, take it slow, and do it right the first.As for performance and ease of use. i can safetly say i will never use thermal paste again as long as i can get these as it surprisingly dropped all of my temps and average temps on a 5950x by around 5c. Not much change on the minimum temps but i am very happy to not have this cpu spike as much into the red and happily remain in the mid 70 to low 80's under heavy load with the benefit of not having a massive mess of paste to clean just to repaste it again if anything is wrong and risk damaging the cpu pins or socket since certain paste's love to act like glue even when the cpu is hot and refuse to let the cpu go which results in you ripping the cpu out of the socket because the paste fused it to the cooler which is just another step to worry about trying to pull them apart without any damage. This pad is a absolute life saver for cleanup as well as reducing temps, even if the temp reduction is not by very much if any for the benefit of not having to use paste or dismantle your system again for quite some time. The instructions also recommend that you really should replace it after use rather than reuse it due to damage from the first initial install and i dont mind that since i will rarely be taking my systems apart, and if i do then i will gladly buy another pad or two when the time comes for me to take it apart, rather than risk any issue.Yes they are pricey but in my opinion they are extremely worth it for those who will rarely remove their cpu cooler for long periods of time and want a simple no mess solution that matches or even outperforms paste (in my case) if your lucky, etc. Highly recommended!

My 3080 hotspot temp was starting to act up (90-95C gaming), leading to performance drops. Thermal paste was probably old or not well distributed. I replaced the old paste with the KryoSheet. Hotspot temps are now down to 78-80C.Installation was really easy. I think reviews are a little overblown with how fragile the sheets are. It comes sandwiched between some plastic film. When I peeled off the top film, the KryoSheet stuck to the remaining film, likely due to static. I simply flipped the film over onto the chip and peeled it away while holding the sheet down with a tweezer. My fingers never touched the sheet.I feared the movement of the sheet, but it stayed in place pretty well. Just take your time to set down the heatsink so it is aligned, and obviously, don't slide it around. Worked the 1st time for me. The precut size was perfect for my chip; make sure you check the sizing guide on Thermal Grizzly's site.

Not for the faint of heart. Thermal Grizzlies products are bar none the best thermal products I've ever worked with. That being said this product is not for everyone and should not be used by people who don't understand thermal conductivity. Graphine is extremely thermal and electroconductive. If this thermal pad slides on to and transistors, resistors, diodes, or metal contacts it will short and fry your product. Make sure it is well seated, the area is cleared from any debri, and there is no overhang.this is a metal to metal contact. Other then that if you are not faint of heart, or are a daredevil like me it works great as a Direct Die Substrate, IHS (internal heat spreader) membrane (best use I feel as no transitors are usually located in those areas or already covered.) It's an easy long term replacement for most thermal compounds.

Expensive... For real))But you will have ability not to clean your cpu every time you unscrew cpu fan)) easy and simple installation. Easy to break but if you will be careful - you won't have problems.Cooling... Same as cheap Chinese thermal paste (PYY, as I remember) and expensive MX-6, little bit disappointed. Ryzen 5 7600X max temperature 95C now, first couple days it was 85C. Quite high, but maybe my pc case is not the best for air flow...So, it works, as one of the best thermal paste, but without dancing around your cpu.First package came not opened BUT without pad! I was shocked... Thanks to Amazon, they sent another package

Excellent cooling results. However, installation is fairly advanced for direct die applications. When using it direct die, you need to use some form of conformal coating on the surrounding SMD components or cover them with Kapton tape. There is no adhesive with it, so you NEED to make sure it stays aligned when mounting the cooler.Also, if using it on a GPU, just save time and money and replace ALL the thermal pads with thermal putty. The Kryosheet may slightly increase the clearance, causing your old pads to not make good contact.For performance in cooling in direct die applications, it's 5 stars. But the caveats and skill needed to install it brings it down to 4 stars.

I have a 9800X3D and the KyroSheet works wonderfully cooling it. I switched from Thermal Grizzly Duronaut and I did not see any change in temperature. The thing I like most about this product is that I tear down and try new things with my PC and being able to reuse the KryoSheet is a big plus especially since I haven't noticed a trade off with temperatures. I would highly recommend this product, it is easy to apply, reusable with no clean-up, and has great temperature performance.
