Aukuoy PTM7950 Thermal pad 40x80x0.2mm phase change thermal pad, Highly conductive silicone grease 8.5W/mK CPU thermal paste for PS5 CPU GPU SSD M.2 laptop

Made a massive impact to thermals. It was clear after opening and removing my heatsink that the paste and liquid metal was inferior. I made the decision to totally get rid of liuqid metal and try this PTM on both CPU and GPU ...oh my what a difference it has made .Laptop runs well now and is noticeably cooler and fans don't run loud anymore. Great product and will recommend to others

I had thermal problems with my EVGA 3070 with the XC3 cooler due to using Arctic MX-6(not the best direct die thermal paste and i learned the hards way) and was oberving on avg 76-77C even with an aggressive fan curve.After installing this PT7950, my temps dropped to an avg of 65-68 instanlty which I am very impressed.While the extra stuff in the box is very unnecessarry, the thermal pad works like a charm.

I've built 2 new PC's in the last 12 months, one Intel CPU and the other AMD CPU. So far, the PTM 7950 is keeping the temps of both machines in a pretty good range, compared with my previous experiences of thermal paste. It can be a little tricky to apply, but my advice is as soon as you receive it, stick it in the fridge in the little box that comes with it and only remove it as soon as you're ready to apply.Do use those little sticky tabs to help remove the top layer of film - they are a big help. Don't panic if the PTM tears or cracks slightly during application, just pat it down gently - the PTM has to go through several heat cycles to get to it's optimal performance and will fill in gaps during this process.I'm an absolute convert to this stuff and have applied it to all of my retro gaming consoles too with great results.

Magic! I'll probably never go back to thermal paste again, probably....... Could have been a nightmare to apply but thank science for blutack! My method was as follows:Keep the PTM7950 in the fridge for at least 20 minutes then cut to size and apply stickers or sticky tabs (you get ten with green tabs in the box) to the edge of the side you want to peel the protective film off, I used two sticky tabs. Stick the other side to a flat surface using blutack and then peel of the protective film on the topside ever so slowly and evenly using the tabs. If it starts to ruck don't panic just stop and try the other tab. Try and get a nice even slow removal going. Once the plastic film is removed from the PTM remove the bottom of the pad (the side with the protective film on) gently from the blutack without touching the now exposed top surface of the pad. Apply the now exposed top side of the pad to the chip you want to protect. You only get one go at this so make sure it's exactly where you want it before gently pressing it evenly into place. Then once you've stuck it to the chip you can remove the last piece of protective film using the same method ofc minus the blutack. Very fiddly but with blutack I got it right first go. The end result my 9800X3D never goes over 60℃ when playing wh3, sm2, cyberpunk 2077 and other triple AAA rated games. Results may vary so good luck!

Applied to CPU, went to lift corner gently of the pad, it instantly broke flipped landed on the other part of the pad and stuck to it. Leaving an uneven surface. The stuff instant sticks like a glue and snaps like a cheese cracker at the same time. Soooo glad this happened pre to heat cycles. Good luck removing this stuff after awhile.

Ordered and received last week, application was a bit fiddly but thats probably down to me. It worked a treat on my four year old laptop which was normally around 97 centigrade CPU and 86 on the GPU, it's now gone down over twenty degrees whilst gaming. The kit contains everything you need but no instructions so you would have to do a bit of research beforehand. Would recommend to anyone who has a hot computer that the are concerned about.

Swapped liquid metal for PTM on my CPU, first time opening up my laptop so I appreciated the extra tools in the pack. Thermals are great.

My Nitro 5 suffers with a 12th gen Intel processor so it gets very hot. Even milling around Windows it had a tendency to start screaming. And that was with Noctua thermal paste applied.Bought this stuff to put on and what a difference. I didn't write down any numbers to compare against but it is noticeably quieter - it's not spinning up anywhere near as high as it was previously. It doesn't get loud at all just using it on the desktop. It still throttles a little bit but that's when it turbos to 4GHz which I have NEVER seen it do before.I put it in the freezer to help with the application. Then I cut a strip to size, stripped one side, placed it on the CPU die, peeled off the top, and that was it. Repeat for the GPU, then pop the heatsink back on. Done! Didn't break on me at all, and I even managed to peel off and reseat the GPU pad as I put it on a bit wonky.Absolutely recommended for gaming laptops. Not sure how it'd do on a desktop processor but it should help a bit there.
