Gelid Solutions GP-Ultimate 15W-Thermal Pad 90x50x2.0mm (2pcs). Excellent Heat Conduction, Ideal Gap Filler. Easy Installation.

I've had a great experience using these thermal pads for my Samsung 990 Pro SSDs. I used them with the motherboard SSD heatsinks and there is a stark difference in SSD temps before and after. Before it would hit 80°C under heavy loads and 40°C with regular use. Now it stays at 40°C during regular use but struggles to hit even 50°C under heavy use like benchmarking.The pads are solid, retain their shape well, and are very easy to work with. Use a fine tip sharpie to mark where to cut on the plastic film, then cut with a ruler and X-ACTO knife for perfect results.They aren't exactly cheap and it cost me about $7 in material per SSD, but for the performance it is well worth it, even more so if it is for a GPU. Thermal pads are not advisable for CPUs, contrary to what they show in the listing photos. They will always underperform compared to paste, and they cost more as well.It is worth mentioning that these pads are a bit less pliable. They don't compress as much as the factory pads did, but that was easily fixed by smushing them down a bit before installation.

These pads are awesome! I put them on my RTX 3090 FE and the two pads are the perfect amount to cover the entire card. I just used a video as a template of how to cut the pads and where to place them and it worked absolutely perfectly. Now the GPU core and VRAM stay around 75 degrees at full load (Unigen Heaven) with about 88 degrees on the hot spot. That's with the fans relatively slow too. Definitely better than I was expecting!

Some of the best thermal pads on the market.

After searching the web/YouTube for the correct thickness of pads. Found the thickness I needed for both front and back of GPU. I have the latest version of Nvidia RTX 3080 Founders Edition. Which require different thickness than the original 3080 Fe. For the back, I used the 3.0mm thickness Gelid Extremes. For the front, I used 1.5mm thickness Gelid Ultimates. Under load, VRAM temp went from 96 degrees Celsius down to ~70 degrees Celsius. I redid thermal paste. However, I did recall what I had prior to modification. I used Noctua H2 thermal paste. Under load getting ~ 59 degrees Celsius for GPU temp. The temps are with 65% fan speed for GPU. When cutting pads for both front and back. Don’t be concerned with cutting pads to completely over cover the chips. Try to be as close as possible when cutting and covering the chips. Reason being is because you may risk thermal pad overlap sections of the PCB. That would prevent you from closing the GPU enclosure properly. Causing not a good contact with die and heatsink. Then you’d have to open the GPU again. And trim the pads. To get better and straight cuts of your pads. Get a clean sharp utility knife or surgical type of knife with a ruler. I bought a arts and crafts set that came with a couple of knives, cutting mat, and metal ruler. Helped lots in comparison to using scissors.

These pads came in perfect condition. I ordered these to change the pads on my Xbox one x and I got these in 1.5mm. I read on forums some people got it 2mm others say it's too much and 1.5 is enough because the clamp squeezes the pads. I also changed the thermal paste because It was hard and I wanted to upgrade to an ssd so might as well do the entire job just to be safe. I did some research so I went with these. I got some kryonuat in my ps4 pro and it's not over heating. As for my Xbox one x it seems to be fine I don't hear the fans spinning fast but it is a slightly thicker console so we'll see.

Good replacement, keeping memore

After repasting my Zotac 3090, I decided to buy these pads since I heard they were some of the best pads to get in terms of cooling. After applying temperatures did indeed go down from 103-105C to 90C on the Hotspot.Do note for the 3090 Trinity card to get 2mm pads and the dual pad pack if you do front and back.

As the title suggested, these 2mm Gelid Ultimate pads are great for the backplate of the 3090FE. I was using the 1.5mm Ultimate pads originally but the temps were okay despite not making a solid connection with the backplate. Wanting better, I gave the 2mm's a shot, at first the pads were hotter than the 1.5mm'. I let the GPU get hot and then gently sandwich pressed the GPU in an effort to compress them a little. After doing so, my temps dropped to lower than the 1.5mm Gelids's by 2c. I don't post temps b/c as attached by the screenshot, I did some external cooling modding with heatsinks and fans. That said, attached are photo examples of what my mining results and mod look like. Note, the noctua fans on top are 120mm and the bottom 3 are 99mm(or whatever the size is below 120mm) all 5 fans at 100%. I don't have gaming temps ATM to share b/c I'm mining but with the 1.5mm Gelid Extreme on the GPU die side, pasted with Thermalright TFX paste my hotspot temp and GPU temp are at the 10c minimum (best the 3090FE can do). In furmark my GPU doesn't go over 58c.Long winded review but wanted to share the learning curve of the 2mm pads on a 3090FE. (The need to sandwich the GPU after it's heated up)
