Review on πŸ”₯ High Performance Thermal Pad - 100x100x2.5mm 6W/m.k | Efficient Heat Dissipation for Laptop Heatsink/CPU/GPU/SSD/IC/LED Cooler by Guillo Tilden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Far exceeded expectations

Highest rating for this product. I have a compact broadband security router (Ubiquiti USG) that is housed in a 5 inch chassis. x 5 inches. Metal, but fanless, case and gets quite warm. I made the heatsink out of a 2" wide aluminum bar to bolt to the wall mount tabs on the back of the case. Since I needed some sort of intermediate heat exchanger I thought of heatsink lube but thought it would make a big mess so I bought this silicone thermal interface material and pressed 2 sheets of it (so 2 x 4") between the case back and the aluminum bar. The bar was then separated from my backboard with posts. I wasn't expecting much success, but it works so good. The router used to feel almost uncomfortable, but now it's at room temperature. In terms of ease of use and in terms of efficiency, this thermal silicone product is the best. Potential buyers, don't hesitate about the lack of adhesive because the sticky surface is what you need.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
