My board x570 tuf has problem in chipset temperature is reach 90c in load and 82c in idle. I dont want to return now so any one have suggestion for good thermal pad ?

I tried adding more fans and tried nh-1 thermal paste and another one none make it cooler so I was thinking to try thermal pad

Problem may not be thermal paste. Might be bad case airflow. What case and case fan setup are you using? Maybe case isn't flowing air like is should with air inside being 10c, 20c, 30c hotter that room. Air temp to component temp is almost exactly 1:1 ratio, so if air temp is 40c or 50c instead of 25c inside your case component temps will be 15-25c hotter too.

I opened the case sides door and added more fans

I'm assuming there's a gap between the chipset and heatsink, which would explain why thermal paste didn't help. Still the temps seem unnaturally high even for the fan being blocked, but that's just going by other reports online.

What's the chipset voltage?

Graphite pads are only supposed to replace thermal paste, not fill gaps, so that probably won't work.

Fujipoly should work, just make sure it's the proper thickness because the pads are pretty hard. You could also try a copper shim and thermal paste.

I use gelid thermal pads on my gpu. Much cheaper than fujipoly and the result is pretty much the same.

+1 for Gelid. The Extreme pads are nice and pliable, the Ultimate are more like Fujipoly, so hard to compress and crumbly. The temp difference between the 2 should be marginal, so I would pick the Extreme pads for the sake of compliance.

many say on reddit this board has a problem in chipset anyway what the chipset voltage called in hwinfo 64 ? factory thermal pad was thick and turn into dust in my hand.

"SoC voltage (SVI2 TFN)" I believe? I don't have an AMD system so I'm not 100%

If you want the best possible cooling with the heatsink that's on there, a copper shim and thermal paste will beat high end pads. But you have to be careful

Nevermind, it's not SoC (SVI2 TFN), that's part of the CPU. Idk what it's called in HWinfo.

without using the active cooling ?

I'm just stating that filing the gap with copper and paste will conduct heat better than the best thermal pads. You probably want to leave the fan on either way.

How about if I pleating the pad twice ?

I doubt it

Gelid Extreme, Gelid Ultimate, are both good for motherboards. Fujipoly is highway robbery.

Yeah Gelid Extreme, did that on my Asus C8I
80-90s C before and now mid 60s C on load and 40C on idle.
Fujipoly is overpriced, unless you are overclocking the price / performance may not be worth it.

Chipset heatsink on that board is independent and shouldn't have much of any significant gap that needs to be filled. Even mediocre thermal paste should outperform high-end pads or gap fillers, unless there are stand-offs or spacers artificially increasing the size of the gap that must be filled. If that is the case, removing or modifying such obstructions would be my preferred solution...otherwise I'd use a copper shim.
