Know what you are buying

I have read most of the other reviews and the negative reviews are from people who didn't understand what they were buying. Some typical application mistakes I see are: 1) Too much adhesive between heatsink and heat source. This material should conduct heat, but still has a resistance to heat transfer. Thinner is better! This stuff also takes time to heal. The thinner, the faster! 2) Insufficient curing time. It's not super glue as someone commented. It's like what you put in a bathtub. Give it a few hours to adjust before handling it carefully and gently. Here's how I use this product with good results: 0. Make sure the application environment is suitable. (warm and dry)1. Delete everything. Clean both contact surfaces of heatsink and heat source.2. Clean everything up again. I need to get rid of all the oils, dust, grease, fingerprints, old glue, thermal paste, and your human goo. I used adhesive remover to remove most of the double sided tape and then used isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue. I also wear gloves so hand oils don't get in the way.3. Apply a thin layer to the bottom of the radiator.4. Apply the heat sink to the heat source.5. Apply pressure and rotate slightly. The goal here is to squeeze as much product and possibly trapped micro-air bubbles out of the heatsink and heat source as both are thermal insulators. (Yes, this hot melt adhesive is still heat resistant, even if it is much better than thermal tape)6. Install a heavy object (with good reason! No, a 40-pound dumbbell is too much for this small memory chip) to maintain constant pressure on the heatsink and heat source. If possible, heat the device to speed up the curing process. if you don't go Don't look at it for 24 hours. Even if you can heat it, it will still take a long time to fully cure. Maybe a few hours, not at least 24 hours. I have the best results when the room temperature is around 70Β°F and the humidity is relatively low (my dehumidifier is set at 50%). According to some information from Amazon, heat and humidity affect the curing time of the silicone adhesive base. High temperature, low humidity? This thing will heal faster. Cold and wet? I would start looking for heaters and dehumidifiers.

Pros
  • Fits all radiators without a fixed clamp. It has thermal conductive properties, strong adhesion. Helps efficiently dissipate heat from the chipset to the heatsink.
Cons
  • Slightly dented
