nice to see this (again) for posterity. The last set I sold had this card (with the pads in a stapled-on baggie). I sold them rather than use them because I believe that the glued-on pads can't be trusted to stay glued on to that fine-looking finned heat-sink. Maybe I'm duped but I think they suitable for "display only"...if you used them "for years" with no problems then good on ya, mate!
