Review: Durability or performance - What's your use case? MAXMIMUM performance with a TIM that won't dry out? These may not be in your interest with caveats. Consider similar graphENE products. Graphene thermal sheets are more performant, but WAY more brittle. I can not stress just how unsubstantial they are. Those products CAN be reused, and I have - but not without loss of material. Something which can also be terribly nerve wracking as the flakes are electrically conductive. Personally, I will not use them again, even where performance is a concern. ESPECIALLY if you have a cooler that can twist on its mounts. On the other hand, are you interested in potentially swapping coolers or hardware with some degree of frequency? Do you want some sort of TIM that does not require cleaning? These graphITE pads are what you are interested in. In my experience these are sufficient to cool anything at stock clocks, even up to maximum PBO2 boosts for recent Zen processors. Though it should be noted that added efficiency could realize better power USE. Further, these graphITE pads re much more resilient. Mind, these are ALSO electrically conductive, but show FAR less tendency to flake or fall apart, making the matter less concerning. I'll be using these thermal pads in most situations going forward. Mind the dimensions. In my case AM4 platforms have a 32mmx32mm IHS (integrated Head Spread), and while it would be recommended to use 32-33m thermal sheets, Ryzen IHS are slightly concave, making these 30mm squares 'fit' somewhat better in the recessed region of the IHS. For R7 platforms, or anyone interested in undervolting, these will suffice, and hold up better without the uneven pressure from an uneven IHS. If you need to be running R9s at full capacity, consider 32+mm sheets; you can always clip them down to size, including the corners to better fit the recess.
Review: Performance on par with thermal compound... But convenience, ease of use and reusability is 5 star! - For my last couple of builds I've used Noctua NT-H2 thermal grease... This time I decided to try Innovation Cooling's Thermal Pad. This build is a i7-9700k on a MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon mobo with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler. I have a MSI GTX980Ti, which if anything, reduces reduces the load on the CPU and it's iGPU. I'm not a massive overclocker and this rig isn't particularly high end... This review should be considered to represent just your average build for average use. I have used the 30mm x 30mm pad which is suitable for any of your LGA1151 CPU's (i3/i5/i7/i9) which measure 37.5mm x 37.5mm. If you get the 40mm x 40mm pad you may have to trim it as the Thermal Pad is electrically conductive. I built the new rig using the Noctua grease (I use the pea method for thermal compound) installed the i7, installed the OS and ran it in for a couple of days. I then ran the PC Mark 10 benchmarking software a few times (which to be fair doesn't stress the cpu to much but it does give a reasonable idea of real world usage) and then tried recoding a couple of videos to get an idea of the temps. I then popped out the cooler, cleaned off the Noctua compound, and installed the Innovative Cooling Thermal Pad, and repeated. All in all I saw very little difference using the Thermal Pad. Any variation, if anything, could be put down to normal variation in my use and testing. The real winner however is convenience! Easy to install. No mess. No more "have I done it right". And it is reusable. I give this product 5/5 for convenience and given it doesn't appear to have any cooling performance penalty (for an average user such as myself) I have no problems at all recommending this product based on convenience alone. Will this mean the end of thermal compound? Unlikely. At this price point it is slightly more expensive than a tube of good thermal compound - which is fine. However, for a REGULAR builder of NUMEROUS systems ONE tube of compound will build many systems... So those guys will definitely get their money's worth out of a tube. BUT, for an OCCASIONAL rebuilder/upgrader of a SINGLE system who finds they need to buy new thermal paste each time, because the old tube has gone off and most of the tube is wasted (Noctua claims 3 year shelf life), this is a no-brainer as the Innovative Cooling Thermal Pad can be reused - so never a need to buy thermal compound again. And did I mention the convenience? As for longevity, I am yet to see how long this product will last or whether it will degrade with use and heat and age. I guess we have to wait and see, but I don't imagine it will. I hope this helps. Cheers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would the 30x30 be better for a ryzen 2700 or a 40x40? Sorry I'm to lazy to measure cpu**
A: The 30mm x 30mm is for Intel CPUs. The 40mm x 40mm is for all AMD CPUs.

**Q: Product is slippery, so does kapton tape adhere to it? to be fixed onto the flip up frame (40mm version only). kinda like a picture frame. it works?**
A: As was already stated. I also use a bit of paste to hold it in place, a very small amount at each corner of the IHS to hold it in place and it works like a charm.

**Q: Which size is appropriate for which CPU's?**
A: I have a Ryzen 7 2700X and got the 40x40 pad; it ever so slightly overlaps the edges of the CPU maybe by 1-2mm. So 40x40 was a good call in my case.

**Q: which size should I get for a 7700k? would the 40x40 fit better or should i just get the 30x30?**
A: I have a 6700K, 30x30 fit just right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best overall thermal solution
*by M***A on June 30, 2026*

This is easily the best thermal transfer solution I have used, and if I could afford to purchase a dozen, they would sit in my PC toolbox. I have had it installed on my Ryzen 5700g and this thermal pad has outlasted all my thermal pastes, and its performance has remained consistent even under load. I wish I could use this for all my go-to thermal solutions, especially because the quality of my Arctic Cooling MX6 degrades heavily after a year to where it becomes hard and putty-like. I would trust this on even my high-performance thermal applications. The 30mm was able to fit perfectly over my Ryzen 5700g without modification. I just prep my heatsink and CPU/GPU surface, lay it evenly, and I don't have to worry about any messes should I need to readjust for any reason. It is surprisingly resilient and didn't seem to tear after placing the heatsink.
