StarTech.com Heatsink Thermal Pads - Pack of 5 - Thermal Pad - Thermal pad - Gray (Pack of 5) - HSFPHASECM

I took a chance buying this product over the more common liquid thermal product. This product bonds better then the liquid thermal and the product covers the heat sink much better. The present temp tire CPU reading is main heatsink: 89.6 (f) CPU CORES 1-8 (116.6 (f)) Normal operating temperture should be 88-89 deg. C or (190.4 deg. f). Conclusion: Padded thermal: 32 deg. C. Thermal paste: 88-89 deg. C.

There is nothing wrong with this company this one product didn't work the way it was supposed to or I was unable to use it the way it's supposed to be used the thermal paste did not come off of the plastic it was extremely hard to remove and would never stick to my fan to become paste for a heat sink

A piece of absolute garbage, I thought this would be a nice alternative to using paste. I was wrong. They dont come off the protective covering with ease at all, you have to peel them off, effectively destroying them and rendering them useless when you do. Completely and utterly disappointing, useless, garbage.

Very thin

Seems to have helped, was incredibly difficult to apply. Did not stick to my heat sync or processor, had to use my finger / screwdriver to slowly pry the putty off of the wax paper. As a result I feel that the work I did was less effective than it should have been. Chose this over paste to make life easy. Paid twice as much and has more headache.
