Adhensive Graphite Thermal Pad 700W/m⋅K Horizontal Conductivity, 200x100x0.07mm Flexible Graphite Sheet for Mobile Laptop CPU Cooling -2 Pack

I would not recommend this as an alternative to good thermal paste or thermal grizzly carbon thermal pad. The i3 pulled a max of 55 watts at 100% load so anything under could theoretically work fine.Pros:Keeps an i3-9400 under 90° at 100% load.There's no mess when applying.Will probably work under normal loads.Cons:Will not keep cpus that pull more than 55 watts cool.Best suited for laptop cpus or low power cpus.Still a good product though.

I searched for "graphite thermal pad" and bought this without much thought. It has a picture of the pad on a cpu, plenty of pad to use for a few applications, seemed like it was worth a try.I got the pad, and was shocked at how thin it was. Turns out it's not meant to be applied between a processor and heatsink. The keyword that should have threw me off was "horizontal". Lucky for me I still have a use for this, but most would not.The only reason I give this one star is for the mentioned photo. That is false advertising.

Don't take it like I hate the product, it seems cool and I did do video research before buying. However, it didnt work for me. I streased the cpu with tesg and it instantly shot up to 115C on some cores, so the cooling didn't work at all. On top of that, it was impossible to peel the plastic off after you do the cut, make sure to crease it good until it's ready to peel before you cut to your size.
