anybody tried the honeywell ptm 7950? i read on reddit this is one of the best OEM thermal paste for laptops so far, even Lenovo Legion laptops use it.
althought feedback indicates that the thermal pad is better than the paste because its hard to apply.
i have been using TFX since last year but might try out 7950 on a different laptop

...... I've had my card go as high as 60 degrees after 2 months using Kryonaut. With TFX, my temps have been 47-50 degrees depending on ambient consistently for over a year now. This too without undervolt and everything maxed out sitting between 2085Mhz-2115Mhz clocks in the games I play with approximately 450W TDP.

Is that water-cooled?

If air-cooled, I have to say those are some pretty amazing temperatures.

Good thermal paste with "stock cooler" also can perform wonder actually if no intention to overclock, example of R23 multicore reading below of i7-11700 (65w cpu limting factor by cpu cooler) using Cyrofuze paste with evenly spread method:

Do take note of the CPU package power and temp

*Updated with 10min Throttling test) @ 2.9Ghz All core @ 0.92v - Average 69c @ 65W (observed during test for 10min)

In my opinion, it is very hard to see the gains when you are using a stock cooler. Generally when you use better thermal compound, and with very limited surface area to soak up the heat, the boost is going to be momentary because it is thermally limited. The better thermal compound will improve heat transfer to the heatsink, and you may see a slightly higher boost, but will throttle immediately when the heatsink can no longer soak up any heat. This is generally the case with laptop CPU as well. So on HWInfo, you will generally see the short boost clockspeed along with the power draw, but the duration in which it can sustain this speed is going to be very short for sure.

yes you are correct and I have updated data for 10min throttling test it does have very prominent limiting factor with Stock Cooler.

This one like TFX very dry type
I am not too sure how dry is considered dry :LOL: but personally I am using this as daily paste both in 5900x (aio) & 11700 (stock cooler) now,
perhaps the video below can show better image of dry :

so should be good for GPU like the TFX?

AFAIK, only SYY-157 and TFX seems to work so far very well for Ampere GPUs. And SYY-157 is also quite competitively priced. I'm abit skeptical about long term longevity if the paste is easy to apply because almost all runny pastes have ended up being a disaster on the Ampere GPUs over time and none of the reviews do any type of long term testing to check for this. But probably can try for CPU. I'd probably rate it being close to NTH-1 at best.

Using KPX. No complaints from me. Not much pump out. Temps very stable too, previous round after over 7 months temps didn't change much, or if at all. This temp screenshot was just done today though, so paste is only about 1.5 months old. Maybe next year I will update again :ROFLMAO:

Is cyrofuze or cooler master maker flat syringe better for cooling and durability?
