Gelid Solutions HeatPhase Ultra Compatible with AMD, 40x40x0.2mm, 8.5W/mk Thermal Pad for CPU, Easy Application, Non-Electrical Conductive, Color Gray

Using this with water-cooled device, seems to do the job better than previous thermal-paste applications. Easy to install per instructions. No need to do the special refrigeration instructions as some reviews suggest. Used on Ryzen 9 7900X, and I did cut off about 7mm from 2 excess sides as I didn't see it necessary useful just sticking over the edges like that. Packaged nicely so it's not easily damaged in transport. Price was worth it and I'd likely buy again.

I'm guessing this is like the recent PTM7950 phase change material. The advantage to this is it won't dry out and will resist pump out. Meaning I shouldn't have to bother with repasting ever.2 weeks ago I installed it in an am5 ryzen 5 7500f (7600 w/o gpu) with a thermaltake assassin. My idle/light use temp is 2c(42c) higher than ambient and max temp in games is 20c(60c) higher than ambient. Very acceptable since this CPU can handle 90cWas easy to install I put sleeve in the freezer for 20 minutes while I installed and cleaned the CPU. Took off one side of the plastic (of course the clear side peeled off first lol) and aligned over CPU and applied left to right like putting on a sticker. Lightly rubbed the surface a few times to help push air out and push it into micro cracks. Lifted the left edge and rolled the stuff that was not on the die with a blade then when it got to the die pulled the white sheet parallel with itself and came off smoothlyPurchased 3 originally because I intend to use on 2 gpus as well since idle temps have climbed up and figured I'd mess up at least once

Tried this thermalpaste sheet because of thermal issues with my 13900k. Once replace thermal drop by at least 6 degrees great heat dissipation . It was so easy to applied. The price might be a little steep but it works great and the quality is great. They have different sizes including amd. I would definitely recommend.

Put it in the freezer while you take apart or get your parts ready for build time. Gentley but firmly use a credit card/ID/drivers license when you're applying the pad to the CPU/GPU directly from the freezer. Easy peasy 💯

Works perfectly.

I’m flabbergasted. My score in the benchmark Superstition went up to 15198 from 14100. The stability is amazing. Highly recommended. I noticed Thermalgrizzly sells their version for around $5 more. I think you’ll be fine with the cheaper substitution. I’m putting one on my rx6950xt next.

This pad works well but is expensive since it is single use. For the cheaper price, you can get a paste which is good for multiple uses. This is a decent option if you are uncomfortable with putting paste on yourself.

One of the things I HATE doing when building a PC is putting the thermal paste down when installing the CPU. If you're like me, you're constantly wondering if you put too much down, too little or just enough. Going online doesn't help either as it drives you mad since everyone appears to have different ideas on how much you should put down.So enter in this new solution from Gelid Solutions - a thermal pad instead! Now this is not thermal paste in pad form - it's actually a phase-change type of material patented by Gelid that becomes more fluid with heat and fills in any gaps where your CPU contacts your air cooler (or water cooler). It's supposed to be better than thermal paste.The one I'm reviewing is for AMD CPUs, so if you have an Intel CPU you'll need to get the Intel version for this as the pad is sized differently for each brand. As far as installing it, though, you do still have to be a bit attentive and careful when putting it on as you don't want to rip the pad itself or put it off center. It's not difficult, but slightly tedious. Although, certainly less messy!Now, I don't have the professional setup to do in-depth testing - I'm just an average Joe at home - but I did do the same Cinebench tests on my AMD 5950x before I replaced the pad and after - and I came in about 1 degree Celsius LOWER with the pad than the paste. Now I know the result isn't groundbreaking or really "scientific" in any way, but the fact that it's lower is a plus for me. However, that's really not the reason why I picked this up. I picked this up because it's far less messy and easier to install.So, in short, I'm very happy with this as my PC is basically running the same after the install of this pad as it was before with the paste. This pad isn't going to blow you away with you suddenly seeing your temps drop 5-10 degrees. No, that's not going to happen. The reason you SHOULD pick this up is because of the BIG and MASSIVE positives: it's 100% less messy than thermal paste AND you don't have to worry about how much to put on. Those two reasons alone are absolutely why I snatched this up and I, personally, could really care less if I get lower temperatures or not. Why couldn't they have come up with something like this 20 years ago?I'm all in on this and I will be buying it for my next build.
