Review on 30Pcs 20x20x1mm Soft Silicone Thermal Conductive Pads Heatsink IC Chipset Northbridge for CPU GPU Heatsink by Isaac Tutt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I mean. cool but not for long.

This is not something you should put on your heatsink to cool the areas around your CPU like bear chips, it disrupts the cooling more than it can help and once the computer (laptop in my case) gets hot Pads also start to heat up so they are outdated. I didn't use this as a cooling pad for my CPU but for the chipsets around the CPU as I thought that was why my CPU was getting hot. In the end, a good vacuum, some isopropyl alcohol, disassembling and reassembling the fan helped solve my problem. I'm not exactly sure what else these things are good for, but for now I keep them under my laptop stand as the cooling pad draws air in from underneath and the stands themselves are pretty cool. So you can get smart with these pads. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm not sure.

Pros
  • quality construction
Cons
  • unreliable
