Thermalright Heilos Solid Thermal Interface Sheet, Solid Thermal Conductive Silicone Grease Sheet for CPU/GPU, Thermal Conductivity 8.5W/mk, Desktop/Laptops General Purpose,for Intel (30×40×0.2mm)

I bought two of the Intel versions. I applied it to my 13900K, and an EVGA 3090. Both of them had issues with sticking to the plastic, but I just slowed down and remained patient. Even with small tears in the material, you have to remember that once it heats up it'll liquify and join together once again. Both my processor and GPU are covered for a while as this won't suffer pump out. The temps are good immediately after installing, but they will get better with time which is even better. Remember patience is key with this product. I bought two, and used two.

The thermal paste wouldn't separate cleanly from the paper it comes on, so it couldn't be used.

The other reviewer is right on the money when they say that it is frustrating. I bought three in case I messed up, and 2 of the strips were crinkled - they are in a hard packaging box, but it was mailed in bubble wrap packaging. I would say it may be crinkled from the factory since it was the only thing "damaged" - the boxes were in perfect shape. I applied one, and of course it tore at the wrinkle in it, so I used the second sheet with a wrinkle in it to patch the 1st, creating my own Frankenstein of a thermal sheet. At least all of the bare metal on the processor is covered, and the pressure from the heatsink will level any high spots. Just be mindful of how Amazon sends your sheets - if in a bubble mailer, it may end up having a wrinkle in the sheet - if in a box and wrinkled, then its due to the factory.

Performance -Using a 13900k @ 290w with a corsair H115i (280mm radiator) & a thermalright contact frame.Moving from stock corsair thermal paste to this pad decreased cinebench temps from ~93c to ~90c. For thermal paste, a 3c difference is pretty impressive. The 13900k will always run hot, but this pad gives you some extra breathing room.Installation -Not fun. Pad is thin, and strongly adheres to plastic. I froze the pad before installation (less chance of ripping) & used a hair dryer to melt the pad a bit after applying it (to remove second plastic piece). Expect this part to take some time and frustration.Notes -Based on packing materials that mention "phase change temp", I am assuming this is rebranded ptm 7950. Most other ptm 7950 listing cost more, and come with a degree of uncertain authenticity. As thermalright is a legitimate company, this seem to be the cheapest and most reliable way to acquire this type of thermal paste.As to its performance, ptm 7950 is still pretty new in the pc building space, but early adopters report that performance improves over time, with some listing reporting 1000 curing cycles to reach max thermal conductivity. I've only been using the pad for about 2 weeks, so I can't vouch for the long term performance yet.

Seal had been pulled off product, and the product was stuck to inside the packaging within box. Just glad I ordered 2 - the second unit was fine. Product functions as it should.
