Hi all,
Just wanted to check if anyone here has any experiences with thermal pads? I know there's quite a few to choose from which seem to range from around 2W/mk to about 12W/mk for the silicon based ones and 20W/mk to 1600W/mk for the graphite ones but just how good are they in practice?
The graphite ones seem the way to go but then again due to their hardness (though there's some that bend easily) surely they don't contact that well with the CPU's IHS?
Overall, has anyone used them, would you rate them highly, and any helpful tips what to look out for?
Thanks in advance!
