Review on πŸ”₯ Thermal Pad - Improved Heat Dissipation Solution: 70x20x1mm 2280 Heatsinks by Frank Garahana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than the stock heating pad on my Asus Prime z370-A

Recently installed an Evo 970 M drive. High 70s to mid 80s (high CPU load) with the default panel installed on the Asus Prime Z370-A. Installed this board. It doesn't stick very well. Apply it gently to the m2 drive before tightening the drive cover. I had terrible results when I started because the last one was misaligned and I had to re-hold. I'm now seeing idle temperatures in the 20's to 30's and low 70's when rendering 4K footage with effects. I would have preferred lower temperatures but compared to a standard cooling pad it's worth the price. Got three spare pads for future builds, so that's a bit of a bonus too :)

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Weight
