I bought the bug pads for my DL380 gen10 server, as several others mentioned the material would not come off the plastic sheet for anything, i peeled and scraped and eventually was able to cover the cpus with the thermal pad material.

It seems to work fine, but no better than the thermal paste I had on before, and not worth the hassle at all.

You know there was nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about and I’m all about that. I wasn’t expecting a crazy 2 day delivery but what I was expecting was ltt quality and I got that through no hiccups in ordering and good quality product. Good job

This was so easy to apply! Mo mess, no muss, no fuss, no cleanup. Just size, place, and install the cpu. Thermals are great and installation was fast!

After all the hype about PTM7950, I finally decided to give it a go.

Got a laptop with LM (ew!) and had it a couple years now. It kept running in the 90s (C) and over, even sometimes with fans on high. Would sometimes slow down or crash programs due to this. Took it apart, removed the original CPU LM (ew!) and GPU dried-up compound (also ew!) and replaced with the PTM7950.

It was a bit tricky to tack on and keep from pulling off when removing the plastic even when cold due to the way it sticks, just have to be extremely careful, slow, and patient.

Immediate improvement. Of course, it wasn't a huge difference, but it was certainly noticeable. Over the last little bit, it's become better and running quite a bit cooler. Still have to run the fans a bit high at times, but temps rarely go over 85 (C) anymore (usually staying around 80s (C) on high load).

Also, fair warning, the pad sizes can trick you. Got the larger one and didn't realize it would be that big. But that's OK. Got plenty for later now. Just in case.

Note also that it will squeeze out the edge of the plastic just a bit onto the cardboard holder, but that's normal due to its properties (don't pay attention to those who think it's a bad thing).

I haven't received it yet.
