PTM7950 40x80x0.25mm Phase Change GPU Thermal Pad, JOYJOM High Conductive Silicone Grease 8.5W/mK CPU Thermal Paste for PS5 Steam Deck CPU GPU SSD M.2 Laptop

Great value thermal pad/paste. PTM is a phase change material that allows it to be applied as a thermal pad and with heat it will change into a paste. I have bought a few sets of these, and applied to 3 gpus, 2 laptops, a handheld, and my main computers CPU (did not delid, just used it in place of regular paste). I will mention, there is some talk on reddit about the JOYJOM PTM7950 not actually being true PTM7950. I am not that experienced that I would be able to tell the difference, but overall sentiment was that it still performs similarly enough that you will see good results. Adding that with the value of this brand being much cheaper than trying to go through other channels to get the guaranteed stuff, this is a no brainer for most. I noticed huge temperature drops in my Asrock RX 6900 XT and EVGA RTX 3080. I didn't use my i7 13700k without the JOYJOM PTM paste so I can't compare there, but I have not experienced any throttling and the temps are better than I expected with all the issues on the chip. My MSI GE66 Raider 11UE, my partners old Razer Blade 16, and my GPD Win 4 all also saw major temperature drops using these pads on their CPU and GPU's. This resulted in less noise as the fans didn't have to ramp up as high, and better performance. The kit these come with is also handy. I don't really use the finger gloves, but I could see them being nice if you have nice nails and don't want to get paste on them. The cleaning wipes and little brush are a nice touch as there is a good chance you will be cleaning off old paste with the install and these will help you clean up easily. I can safely recommend this to anyone looking to re-paste their computer/parts. I plan to continue buying this as needed myself as its performed well in my tests.

The PTM7950 is easily one of the best thermal solutions I have ever used. After applying it, my CPU and GPU temperatures dropped noticeably and the performance became much more stable, even during heavy gaming sessions. Unlike traditional thermal paste, this material settles perfectly over time and keeps delivering consistent results. If you want lower temps, quieter fans, and a more efficient system overall, the PTM7950 is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended

This stuff is amazing! The benefits of liquid metal thermal compound without the risks of shorting out your motherboard if the liquid metal decides to go exploring. I have a Dell Precision 5560 laptop with an i9-11950H CPU. Needless to say, that thing runs hot. I had previously been hitting 100C on at least one core almost constantly, and this was after replacing the factory thermal paste with some better stuff. After I put the new thermal pads on, the temperatures didn't seem to change at first but after a little while I'm now seeing an average of 60-70C where it was almost always at least 90C previously. It will not work right away! It takes some time for the thermal pad to melt when it heats up, so running the CPU hot and then letting it cool down seemed to do the trick for me. It took about a day before I noticed the temps lowering significantly. I have a lot of material leftover for my other machines as well, this stuff is an amazing value especially for the price. Make sure to put the thermal pad in the fridge (NOT the freezer) for a few hours before you plan to apply it, as this will make it stiffen up more and make it easier to work with. The protective film was a tad difficult to remove, but the mini sticky tape things that came with the install kit helped quite a bit. I had read online that this product does not work as well when used on a CPU/GPU with an IHS (integrated heat spreader), it is designed to be applied between the bare die and the heatsink, so keep that in mind. Most laptops already have bare die processors, and most desktops have an IHS. All in all, highly recommend!

Cannot speak for long term performance. Applied for a week or so. Previous thermal compound was liquid metal in an asus g14 2023 laptop. temps have dropped 15 degrees on load + a 1ghz increase in sustained clock speed. So it made quite a huge difference. if you have a device using liquid metal or a regular thermal paste I highly reccomend ptm7950. With my results I would say that this is a legit ptm7950 - but it is hard to know. Costing much less than the honeywell ptm7950 this is really worth trying out. deducting one star for lack of description of included items. Genuinely did not know what some of these items are for and I just used them creatively.

I used this thermal pad to replace the liquid metal on my GPU. While liquid metal performed well at first, it eventually stained the cold plate over time. After removing and cleaning off the liquid metal, I installed this thermal pad instead. The installation was significantly easier, and the thermal performance is comparable to liquid metal. In addition, it offers far better longevity and is far less risky. Going forward, I’ll be using these thermal pads for all applications except direct-die CPU cooling, where liquid metal still has a clear advantage.

I have some genuine PTM7950 and ran out and needed some more fast so I decided to order this. The color looks slightly different. But it has to be the real stuff. The results are great. This is a must use for all of your direct die cooling applications. Apply once and forget ever having to open it again. Do not use this for devices with an IHS as it is a waste of money where regular thermal paste works fine. This is meant for laptops where pump out degrades thermal performance over time.

I've used it on two different laptops and it's worked amazingly well so far, but make sure to apply it right. The first was a Lenovo Legion 5 that needed a repaste and deep fan cleaning as I was thermal throttling pretty hard. The laptop originally comes with PTM 7950 and probably could've lasted a bit longer, but since I took off the heatsink I needed to repaste. I grabbed a toothbrush and cleaned up the fans gently. After that, I used a powerful air blower onto the heatfins to clear out the dust. Then I cleaned up the CPU/GPU dies and heatsink with some 99% isopropyl alcohol. Upon clean and repaste, my temps were back to factory with fans very quiet, maxing out at 77C on a Ryzen 7 4800H in Cinebench R23 multicore. A month later, temperatures are still the same. I did a bad job applying the pads for the first time. After cutting it to size, you should only peel off one side and apply the other to the area. Once you're very sure that you want it there, use thin tweezers or longer fingernails to peel off the outer side. Try to cover a bit more surface area than the die you're applying it to. The second laptop was on an LG Gram 2022 with an i7 1270P, which would throttle hard to 92C with high fan speed under light load. I did a full cooling mod on that where I took off the backplate's ventilation tape, bent the heatsink legs upwards for greater mounting pressure, and made a better air duct with electrical tape on the fans. Along with this PTM 7950 (which I applied better this time), that stopped me from somehow throttling on that tiny heatsink.

Had a gaming laptop that was shutting down from overheating. I used this instead of thermal paste or liquid metal, and the laptop has had 0 overheating problems since!! The only difficulty I had with using it was due to my big sweaty hands, but it was still well worth!
