The 1.5 mm thickness and the strip format are each the most useful choice in their own dimension, and this is that combination in the higher-conductivity compound, supplied two at a time. At 15 W/mK it is the material to reach for when a graphics card is running hot at the memory rather than at the core.
The default choice for graphics-card work
If a bench could hold only one pad, the arguments converge close to this: the thickness that matches the most card designs, in the shape that matches a memory row, in the compound with the least resistance. It will not fit every gap, but it starts most jobs on the day it arrives.
Two strips is a card and a half
A memory row plus the power stages on one card rarely uses a whole 120 mm strip, but two cards will. The pack suits anyone who does more than one teardown a season, and the material does not deteriorate between them.
Judging the result after reassembly
Run a load that hits memory rather than the core and watch the memory junction reading over twenty minutes. A pad change shows up as a lower plateau, not as a lower first number, because the whole assembly takes time to settle. Compare plateaus against your notes from before the work, not against someone else on a forum.
Ratings shared across a size selector
The review count on this item belongs to the whole two-piece family rather than to 1.5 mm alone, since the thicknesses live under a single listing. That is worth knowing when reading it: the number describes the material and the seller, and the thickness you pick is your own measurement problem.
