Review on Thermalright Thermal Pad 12 for Industrial Electrical Applications by Junrey Jewel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great if the right size. Not very compressible but excellent heat transfer.

These pads work great when they match perfectly. I replaced the stock junk pads (which deteriorated over time) on my Rtx 3080 Aorus Xtreme because even at +0 memory clock the card reached a memory junction temperature of 110C, which is ridiculous! Double stack up to 2mm for memory chips because I wasn't sure what I needed so I got 1mm pads. After replacing all the pads on the card and adding some on the backplate, the card now runs on 72c-74c memory on a cold night and high 70s during the day. mass improvement. remember that these pads don't compress very well, so you need to know exactly what thickness you're using. After replacing the pads and attaching the heatsink to the board, I recommend opening the card again to check the printing on the pads and thermal paste for proper contact. Improper contact will certainly raise the temperature. In general very satisfied.

Pros
  • Internal Components
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
