thermal compound VS thermal pad

Depends on your intended use. They aren't suitable for seating heatsink/fans to your CPU, or GPU. More intended for graphics card memory heatsinks and so on. Maybe northbridge heatsinks too.

But definitely not for CPU or main GPU.
 
Im in agreement with Jarvis here - I would never use a pad for a main CPU or GPU. I think there intended use was to stick on sinks onto other chips like bare southbridges, gfx memory chips, hot mosfets(?)...
