Review on 85X45X1 5Mm Thermalright Conductive Resistance Silicone by Gary Haymon

PRODUCT: WENDU Thermalright Thermal Pad 12.8W/mK 85x45x1.0mm Non-Conductive Heat Resistant High Temp Resistant Silicone Thermal Pads for Laptop Heatsink/GPU/CPU/ LED cooler (1.0 mm) (ASIN: B08Y6J7H6Y) I have several Thermalright Odyssey thermal pads in different sizes and thicknesses. They are all made from the same materials and differ only in size. I tested them on my hard drive cooler and got the lowest temperature among several other brands. ✅ Outstanding performance compared to standard pads. .❌ UPDATE 6/29/2021: These pads cannot be reused! I had to replace an M2 disc and was trying to reuse those spacers. nope! They crumble after a few days of exposure, after warming up and cooling down. I'm not deducting stars for this, but as consumers we should have this information. (I have contacted the seller and confirmed that these pads cannot be reused.) Please note these are 'Thermalrite' pads sold by various Revain suppliers. Special pads are called "Odyssey". All Thermalrite Odyssey seals work the same as they are made from the same materials. For example, if you want a 2mm spacer, all Odyssey 2mm spacers work the same way. I tested these pads with the pads that came with the Termalrite M.2 Drive cooler (same company that makes the Odyssey pads). The supplied cooling pads proved to be very poor. They, Odyssey pads, withstand large temperature differences. This proves that pad quality really matters.================ TEST PARAMETERS================GASKETS:1mm Odyssey Pads HEAT GENERATION OF DISK : Crystal Disk Mark: Peak Performance Mode - 4 passes TEMP MONITORING: HWiFO64 (HWiFO64 reports 2 numbers for a single M.2 drive).

It doesn't matter how good your cooler is. If you have bad pads, you have bad thermal performance. The only downside to the Odyssey pads is the value for money.
