Adwits 16 Pack 20x67x0.5mm Thermal Conductive Silicone Pads with 6.0 W/mk Thermal Conductivity, Soft Safe Simple to Apply for SSD CPU GPU LED IC Chipset Cooling -Blue

I bought these to replace some aging Thermal Pads on my Asus Laptop. After cleaning the fans, replacing thermal paste, Thermal Pads, etc I was still not happy with the temperatures, so I decided to conduct a further inspection of my work. I decided that I could do with tidying up my Thermal Pad installation, this is where I was horrified at the quality of some of the pads.Rather than simply being 'removable / replaceable' (like my 2 year old Asus pads, which were still arguably better quality, i.e. The old pads feel more 'silicone' like, in terms of being malleable, whereas these pads feel 'foamy' ) within 1 day, some of the Thermal Pads had welded themselves on to the various chips. These pads are more like scotch sticky pads and were a nightmare to remove from the microchips in question.This has led me to question the veracity of the claims of quality and authenticity of the materials used and resulted in me ordering 'Arctic' branded pads instead.Buy cheap, get more, but pay twice is the moral of this story... and beware the quality.
