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

Asus laptop that shipped with liquid metal for the CPU and thermal paste on the GPU, I saw a recent LTT video about an asus failing because the liquid metal leaked due to not enough mounting pressure, and then the PS5 issues, and then other asus users saying to let the laptop cool down before putting it in a bag/vertically. The vidoe put me over the top because it turned out the PTM7950 performed better ANYWAY. So i just decided to do it, the hardest part was removing the liquid metal from the SoC... By far, that took forever and was tedious and time consuming. Putting this on, was extremely easy though. I cut a couple pieces to size for the GPU and CPU, and that was it. I did refrigerate it in advance and I also used some fine precision tweezers to remove the films. Very easy actually. And the temperature of my laptop IS lower than ever. consistent idled at ~32C, now it's down around ~27C - and under load its sustaining higher clock speeds. Totally worth it immediately, better performance and peace of mind. Probably not the genuine honeywell stuff, but it's good so I also don't care.

People keep spending a lot of money for branded PTM7950, but this is the real deal and for half the price. Temps dropped from 2 to 6 degrees C and they keep getting better as the pads accumulates heat cycles. The GPU was cool to begin with but still got better temps, and the CPU went from sustained 3.9ghz to 4.3Ghz, and with better temps at that. The thing with PTM7950 is that you need to cycle it to get better results: run a 30 min benchmark, use the PC normally, and turn it off when not using it at least for the first few days. After 3 or 4 days, the compound will get better it gets hot and cools down. Also, don't play in hard mode: use tweezers to remove the plastic layer, put the pad where it belongs, press against the die to make sure it's making contact with the whole surface, and once it sticks it's really simple to remove the top plastic part with the same tweezers. Easy.

PTM7950 is the best thermal outcome, but not as easy to install as paste. If your motherboard is out of the case its easer, but if you are like me and try to install on cpu in the case, it can be a challenge. It needs to be frozen in order to get the plastic protective film off of each side. Pad is very thin and flexable at room temp and sticks to plastic film. I suggest applying the pad near the freezer as you will need to freeze and refreeze several times to get the film separated from the pad. Use the stickers one on top and one on bottom to get the film to pull away from pad partially (1/2 away) on each side before you install. Refreeze, a few minutes, remove one side of film and loosely set on cpu pressing lightly on the side to the pad the film was not loosened and remove top film. Install heat sink, do not try to adjust or press down as the pad goes from frozen to room temp very quickly. Once installed there is a burn-in period you can use prime95 if you want to hasten the burn-in. I took off Arctic Silver and applied this pad and my temps went down 8 degrees and the AMD CPU now clocks 100hz higher under load. My AMD 9-5950x now idles at 42 degrees during normal use and 89 degrees maxed-out. Its work the effort.

My two personal laptops are a Dell Precision 7730 i9 and a Dell Latitude 5411 i7. If you've heard of these two models, then you'll know that these things run HOT. Both models usually need new thermal paste after about 6 or so months. Out of curiosity, I did some research to find something with a longer life span in high heat, and found these pads. The installation was the hardest part. Personally, the easiest way to install these is to cut them big, place them into the CPU, and then cut the pad around the CPU with a plastic scraper. I was able to get a perfect fit this way. At first the tempature was about the same, but after following the other reviews saying to run a stress test for 3 hours and let it cool, the temperatures were significantly lower! My benchmarks slightly increased as well, since it was no longer thermal throttling. On a laptop such as a dell precision, that has the cooling capability there, I would absolutely 110% recommend this product. My idle temps went from 65°C to 50°C, which is just mind blowing to me. It didn't even run that cool 8 years ago from the factory. However, on a small laptop like my dell latitude, that simply had undersized cooling from the factory, the difference is definitely less noticeable. It still thermal throttles, just takes longer to get to that point. Regardless, even if you have a laptop like that latitude, i would still recommend this product simply due to the lifespan rating. Having to change the thermal paste every 6 months was a pain and took time out of my day, i'm hoping to get a few years out of these pads.

I have been using ptm7950 for a long time now and there's a few things that you need to know. First off, this material is best used on a bare die head. It's really not for anything that's uses an IHS. It's best used for direct contact. It's best used for laptops, consoles, GPUs, and delided CPUs. The process is simple. Measure the die that it's going on. Make it a little bit bigger than what you measured. Cut it. Use tweezers to peel the back wrap off. Gently apply it to the die head. Use the included spatula to smoothen it out. Let it sit for a minute to start binding. From there, grab some tweezers and peel the top wrap off then take a knife or tool and trim the sides. Remove the excess. From there apply your cooler as per usual. When you boot you are going to have pretty rough temps. You are going to look at it and think it sucks. This is NORMAL. You need to remember that this starts off as a .25 mm pad. Typical paste flattens out to the thickness of a sheet of paper rather quickly. As TPM heats up it becomes liquid a little and as it does that there's less resistance between the die head and the cooler. As you heat ptm and cool it down the material starts to squeeze down under the pressure of the cooling assembly. For example. When applying it to my Dell G15 running a 3050ti laptop GPU it started off at 96 under max load. I ran marvel rivals for 3 hours then let it cool. The following day I came back, ran marvel rivals again for 3 hours and the max temp dropped to 83. I let it cool and the following day I came back again and ran another 3 hours and I received the results of 76 under 94 percent load. As you run it through its paces it will become more and more thin and it will perform better and better. This material is not for casual computing. The harder you work the machine the more it will become a liquid and the thinner it will become. It starts liquidating at around 56C. This material works as hard as your machine does. It's built to be ran through its paces. Take your time, apply it right, and burn it in. Let it do it's job. Not a businessman, gamer, graphic designer, or a video producer? Then this is most likely not for you. It's a very durable material that's built to go the distance. It can and WILL outlive the machine you are using it on and it does get better with time. If you want to speed up the process just apply it, run a few hours of stress testing, give it 2 hours to cool and let the cooler squeeze it down. Stress test it again. Rinse, dry, and repeat for a day or 2. When I started off my temps were 96 under load. After I finished it was sitting at 71 with the GPU maxed out.

Worked great, lower temps than with my old paste. Definitely need to freeze/refrigerate it. Was lacking any sort of directions though. So had to look up what most of the extras were for to be safe.

This stuff seems to be the genuine PTM7950. Kit came with everything pictured and a 80x80mm sheet is way more than enough for several applications on my G18. This is a CPU/GPU paste replacement, NOT A VRM/RESISTOR REPLACEMENT! For that I recommend K5 Pro Thermal Putty non-conductive. Putting this in the fridge for 10 mins or freezer for a couple mins right before application helps tremendously with how easy it is to install. I can't comment on longevitity buts it's been about 1-2 months since I applied this to my wife and I's gaming laptops and haven't noticed any performance difference. I have NOT removed the heatsink to check what it looks like. I suspect if you do that you will have to do a brand new application of PTM7950 I was originally using Artic MX-6 and my CPU was thermal throttling at 95c and hovering around 91-99 gaming. And YES, I redid application twice and both times there was 100% contact with full coverage. Slapped this on my RTX 4080 and i9 13980hx and it brought my temps down tremendously. GPU went down 10c and CPU went down 10-15c. Now my laptop sits happily at 77-83c on the CPU and 65-75c on the GPU while gaming. This stuff also made my GPU never hit my thermal limit of 85c. Benchmarks it is around 67c under full load stress testing. CPU still throttles cause it's a 13980hx in a laptop BUT I've never had it affect gaming performance as it is way more than enough CPU for nearly every game right now anyway. I recommend you pair this with K5 Pro Thermal Putty for your VRMs and Resistors if you're looking for similar temps on a laptop. Lather the paste on all that needs to make good contact with the heatsink and you're good to go.

Great quality PTM. Replaced the hybrid compound from the omen 16 Max. It theory, it was smart, in reality, it got hot pretty quick. The reason... Pump out. This stuff, I've read on it quite a bit. Didn't know what I was getting myself into,but it went on smoothly. The film came off easily and effortlessly, and within 30 minutes, I had it reassembled and ready to break in. Results were immediately noticeable since the prior paste had pumped out, leaving hot spots. I ran quite a few benchmarks and was getting temps around 8-15 degrees lower than the stock paste. I used it to do the CPU and GPU and after 2 weeks, it has remained cool and stable.

Was not 80mm x 80mm piece. It was a used piece with rectangular pieces cut out.

omen 13900hx ve 4090a uyguladım Sıcaklıklar daha da kötü oldu Ya orijinal değil ya da tam olarak istenilen performans a ulaşmıyor

great product. does drop temps by 10degrees on gpu and cpu. always best to put it in the fridge for a couple of minutes to make it easier to cut and apply. way more efficient than thermal paste. just wish sizing was abit better

Llegó a CDMX en 3 días, se aplicó como reemplazo a la pasta térmica que viene de fábrica en la Steam Deck. Como mencionan en otros comentarios, ponerla en el congelador 5 minutos antes de aplicarla ayuda bastante.

I used it after using liquid metal. At first I thought it is bad because the temps were very high... But the longer stressed the processor, the better the temps became... After one week, it became as good as liquidation metal with the exception of being more safer to apply....
