I've been wanting to try the Innovation Cooling Graphite Thermal Pad and I finally got a chance. It works great.
https://www.newegg.com/innovation-c...l-pad-30/p/2MB-000J-00004?Item=9SIA2W07HJ7968
The machine I'm using in a Mini ITX board with a 4790K and GTX 1060 6GB. This is my spare machine and I recently had a power supply failure (my cat stepped on the surge protector) and I decided to rebuild it with a new motherboard/case/PSU.
Since the machine was dead, I was not able to test what the temps were before, however I can confirm that the thermal pad seems to work at least as good as paste from what I recall.
Basically I am getting 32C at idle on the Windows desktop, about 65C in gaming (Cyberpunk 2077), and with the Intel Burn Test it reached 80C even after a few minutes. So I would consider that pretty good.
Keep in mind, this is a small build with a low-profile fan heatsink, so I wasn't expecting amazing temps. However, it seems within the same range as paste and I like the other properties (no mess, reusable, long life).
Anyone else try them or are interested?
