PTM7950 Thermal Pad Phase Change Heatsink 80x80x0.25mm 8.5W/mK Conductive for Heatsink PS5 Steam Deck CPU GPU SSD Silicone Grease Thermal Pad

I think it is expensive, but given the results is a good value for your money. It combined with a new side case panel have greatly improved the functionality by keeping the whole pc much more cooler. The ease of application was easy enough and if you get lost just grab your phone. You can find many videos of thermal pad installation online. My understanding is that thermal pads represent the best durability of any material available. The fit is perfect because you cut it yourself.

Wow I’m impressed dropped my laptops temperature from 95c to 70-80c on heavy gaming. Easy to use a bit Tedious to apply if you’re new. Size was great awesome for its price. Didn’t take a picture of the finish product but this is what was left !

Seems to be legit to me. I have a 7900 xtx GPU that I didn't like the thermals on. AMD cards are notorious for getting super hot. When benchmarking I was getting around 100° c which XFX says is OK but i don't like it at all. XFX told me if I wanted to reapply thermal compound myself I could use regular cpu thermal paste for my GPU or use PTM7950.I tried to reapply with paste using arctic mx 6 but I didn't see any improvements at all. I figured I'd give this stuff a try. I had no clue what it was but XFX recommended it and I saw other good things online about it so why not.I haven't reached 90° c since I switched. I honestly haven't seen it get over 86° c. So I've gotten at least a 10° c improvement if not more on my GPU. I will be using this stuff from here on out.I did struggle a little with application, getting the plastic off both sides was a pain but I see others saying put it in the freezer for a bit first so I'll give that a go next time. Overall I'd 100% recommend this stuff over standard thermal paste

I bought this because I have heard about its longevity and wanted to replace my old, drying thermal paste on my CPU. I heard people say to leave it in a fridge for a few hours (3-5 hours), to help stiffen the pad for when application came around.But even still, It came to room temperature after a few minutes, and would just become a frustrating tedious mess. There are plastic films on both sides of the pad you must remove, and if you aren't quick enough to remove them while they are still cold, it is not a fun experience.However, my temps have improved compared to my old paste, and I do not have to worry about second-guessing my thermal paste application.Overall, a fairly decent product as it keeps my temperatures in check, but if a quick application is what you need, you might want to look at something else.

Re pasted my Msi laptop cpu and gpu, had an arctic mx4 before and was running at 95c -100% load.Now 77c - 100% load on the cpu.I’m not sure but when I took it apart the arctic was still wet.The only thing is, it’s hard to apply if you don’t have the tools for it. I used a razor sharp craft knife and the stickers included to take the peels off the pads and still it was hardOnly the first day so I don’t know how long it will hold up though

Did an hour of CPU stress testing on a 5900x CPU using CPU-Z on corsair XTM50 paste and then switched to this compound and did another hour test and temps were about 5-7deg celsius cooler in comparison.To be fair there are other factors in consideration here - this sheet looked a bit thicker than my previous thermal paste application (although from what I understand thicker paste application can actually impair thermal transfer...). My previous paste application still looked pretty comprehensive but it had been on for a good 6 months, not sure if that factors in either. I did a second stress test for an hour a day later and pushed out another degree or two hence why I put a 5-7deg range - it seems that you can get a little extra performance after the compound breaks in so that's interesting.I just installed so not sure about longevity.Install was not exactly easy but it wasn't a nightmare. I put the compound sheet in the freezer until I was ready to use it. I took a piece of paper and placed it over my CPU and cut out a little trace/template. Then I used that square of paper to cut out a section of the thermal grease. I then removed one side of the film and plopped it down on my CPU. It was then a struggle to get the other side of the transfer film off (the side facing up), the grease kept lifting off when I tried to lift the film. I ended up tearing off a tiny corner of grease and as other reviewers have mentioned it's then difficult to get things fixed. I managed to get it done but it was a bit of a struggle and got a little messy.I think when I apply this to my girlfriend's CPU I will try to pre-lift/separate/bend the opposite transfer side (the side facing up) before placing it on the CPU (basically I'll bend up the "up" facing sheet before removing the backside sheet and applying to the CPU) - I'll also probably use the included spatula to try to apply pressure and hold the square down while peeling off/separating it from the film.Basically I recommend strategizing a bit when it comes to the application or things are going to get messy/difficult.Not sure if this is the legit Honeywell compound but overall I recommend.
