Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8-120x20x0.5mm Thermal Interface Pad, Electrically Non-Conductive, High Thermal Conductivity & Compressibility for SSDs, GPUs & Electronics

Been using my 1TB WD SATA M.2 in my enclosure and the thermal pads that came with it were garbage honestly probably 0.5mm. Bought this to bring down temps. The good thing about my case was that I was able to apply some thermal pad the the top and bottom of the SSD with no problem and actually helped me screw the SSD down a lot fast so can’t complain. Excellent pricing for this SSD and the thickness is excellent for small enclosures or motherboard m.2 SSDs. With the amount they give you I was also able to apply some of the thermal pad to the enclosure controller and it fit in the enclosure with no gaps in the pad. Fixed the heating problems I was having. And was pretty durable when I had to reapply it compared to other thermal pad brands. The SSD is running at 35 degrees C while copying over 400GB of DATA to my NAS drive and my external drive.

Another high quality product from Thermal Grizzley. Keeps my M.2 drive cool and easy to apply, very sticky and durable.

These thermal grizzly pads are awesome - high performers. They are more expensive for the size though so I bought this 120x20x1mm to apply to the high heat areas like the VRAM on the baseplate. I paired these grizzlys with a cheaper 1mm alternative with a lot more surface area to work with for the less sensitive areas and the backplate (the blue stuff in the image). The combo worked like a dream. These pads don't deform or elongate at all when removing the film, unlike the other brand I was using (AIYANNI). This made it really easy to apply and stay in place (and cut to precise rectangular areas) and just sticky enough! As far as the orientation, I would recommend FLAT side down on components and rough side upward because this will make it easier to remove baseplate in the future without tearing off pads since they will have a better adhesion to the PCB components. When it was all said and done, my card was 20 degrees C cooler!! This was at both resting and full-load. If anybody was worried about the different size of pads on this specific card, fret no more! 1mm is perfect for all areas! Just be sure to carefully cut and apply to the correct areas and components, and you're set!

I am computer/electronics literate but certainly no expert. I purchased the Thermal Grizzly interface pads for mounting heatsinks on the 5 x Western Digital 4Tb SSDs installed in my QNAP NAS (TBS-h574TX-i5-16G-US). They were straightforward to install and have worked effectively controlling the operating temperatures of the 5 SSDs. I estimate, using before and after measurements, the combination of the Thermal Grizzly pads and the QNAP heatsinks reduce the operating temperatures of the SSDs by ~8-10 degrees Celcius. I would recommend them for any NAS application assuming they fit the space available around the drives.

I have a used Dell XPS M1530 laptop that I bought several years ago and my bad, I never replaced the thermal paste and pad after receiving it. I needed a replacement thermal interface pad for the CPU, the original being Silicone based. I wanted something better. This product was easy to trim and cut to the size of the heat sink surface. It has a double sticky side, and I wasn't sure if one side was prefered to face down or not, but I don't think it matters. The gap depth was 1 MM and that is what I ordered and it fit perfect. Since this laptop started to have constant high fan output I knew it needed to be checked. There was also a dust clog on the end of the fan assembly so I took the cover off of the CPU fan (four tiny screws) and used a clean, soft paint brush to clean it. Now the laptop runs quiet.

I reposted my laptop and these work just as intended. Knowing what size and depth is a must when repasting, so please keep that in mind. Packaging was okay, I can see how easily the paste strips can get messed up inside the packaging on delivery.

Amazing quality! Used it for my Lenovo Legion gaming laptop to replace some of the thermal pads / putty! Worked really well and dropped temps by like 10-20°!! (Either that or it was because I cleaned the fans, which weren't that full of dust)

These pads + paste,, is a ''no brainer'' for PS4 pros ect. My 2019 pro,, even here in 2026,, never gets hotter than 134*f out the back,, including the heat from the power supply. Infrared temp gun,, also shows only 115*f above the heat sink,, with the dot shining on the console cover plastic. Those are the highest temps,, with heavy online gaming,, & still running an HDD.
