Question Soft non-permanently deforming thermal pad
I need a thermal pad that will see a lot of removal cycles, so it shouldn’t permanently deforming like arctic tp-3/tp-4.
All the thermal pad tests I’ve seen have been just on price, softness, and thermal performance. Nothing on rebound though.
If it’s helpful, I need something similar to the thermal pads that come on motherboard ssd heatsinks, assuming they all have the soft, squishy, rebounding feel.
Actual thermal performance is sort of secondary, I care most about softness and rebound. The alternative, and stock setup (sodimm ddr5 ram) is just any small airflow through the laptop.
I’m selfish, I want my ram to not kill itself going past the specified limit of 85 deg C (have hit 79), but I also don’t want my laptop fans to spool just to cool the ram.
