I received 1 pack of 3mm and 1 pack of 2mm and it was barely enough to cover the front and back. If you are planning on forms two packs should be enough, if not I recommend buying two packs of thicker pads. I also STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you go with the 2mm and 1.5mm instead of what I bought. I watched some videos and they used gel of this thickness but they are from different brands and this gel is much harder and not as soft. Follow the instructions on YouTube carefully and you'll be fine. My two were too fat for a cool box. Make sure the thin washer is on the side of the GPU chip where you need to apply thermal paste. Because if the pads on this side are too thick, there will be a gap between the cooler and the GPU core, which leads to very high hotspot temperatures. If you happen to buy a 2mm gasket like I did, make sure you use something to press the gaskets down firmly so they're thin and even, which provides enough pressure to seal the GPU core that to connect thermal paste and the cooler. Results: My temperature used to be 104-106 degrees and memory rate was -300. Now it is +1200, the storage temperature is 86 degrees!

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • No instructions
