Other uses too
Soft silicone about a millimeter thick. These have adhesive on one side - not shown/mentioned in the photos/desc. The backing can be peeled off or left on if you don''t want to permanently mount the strips to your device. These can also be easily trimmed or cut-up to use for many other noise-dampening applications. For my application, I used them on a DVD drive in a CM Stacker case. I couldn''t discern any noise or vibration dampening, but the drive was very quiet and smooth to begin with. (I just try to add noise dampening to anything in my case that can possibly cause noise - whether it seems to need it or not.) The drive+isostrips fit easily in the bay BUT, it would not fit using the tool-less rail mounting system - the plastic rails, isostrips, and drive combined was too wide to fit into the bay. Great, simple noise/vib solution.

General purpose 120mm gasket/spacer, not just for rads
Used this not on a radiator but on the rear exhaust port of my CMStacker to put some distance between the fan and metal mesh to hopefully cut down wind shear noise. It''s soft and flexible enough to mold to minor surface irregularities and act as a gasket but rigid enough that it doesn''t bow/deform during vertical installation. Good quality. NOTE however, that both sides (faces) are NOT completely flat. On one side, two of the edges are partially tapered (a little hard to explain). This could potentially cause these edges to bulge inward or outward depending on your application. I don''t understand this design ''feature'' and I don''t understand why only two of the edges. -1 star for this odd and potentially problematic design. It didn''t cause me any problems though.
