I received these pads a few months ago and used them to replace a poor looking pad that Dell preinstalled on my Dell G5 laptop and was not cooling my Saberent NVME SSD well. for a while but I suddenly started getting random BSODs and WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR without a dump file and the Dell diagnostics reported that the drive was not mounted. I found it reappeared when I removed the sheet metal heatsink and thermal pad. Then when I reinstalled it, it was gone. Light finger pressure wouldn't make it go away, and without a heatsink and gasket it was perfectly solid. That's when it dawned on me, and I tried to cut the pad so that it was only in contact with the copper sticker. Yes, the pad is electrically conductive, at least that's what I've concluded. For now I think I'll leave the pad on the sticker. If I could do it again I would choose a different thermal pad.
