Ptm 7950 fixed my hotspot temp problem with rtx 4070. Gpu temp was ok but hotspot could go over 100c. Repasting it with normal paste awlays helped for a while but paste always squeezed out and temps were back high. Now i have been using ptm and max hotspot temp with fur mark is 81c.

At a previous job they put me on to using Eye Tees (makeup applicator sticks) for getting into difficult places while dealing with very little to no lint compared to generic Q-Tips/cotton swabs or coffee filters. Especially if I find I need to use a little pressure, like the corners of a die and PCB, or in between heatpipes, this can be helpful. The issue is you feel a little bit ripped off compared to generics, but if you're working on expensive hardware or rare goods it stings a bit less. Otherwise thanks for making a pretty clear vid that showed some of the difficulty of working with this material, but also how well it works at the end. Although, I think Ghost Goku will haunt my dreams for a bit now

I bought 2 7900 xtx pg's last month. Both cards had aweful hot spots. One had a hot spot of about 105, the other was pegged at 110 with memory temps getting up to 105. I repasted both. And with aggressive fan curves if i leave their out of box overclock on them of 2900-3000mhz both card will go up to about 95 still on heaven, and up to 110 when gaming on titles such as cyberpunk and enshrouded. Just got some of this in the mail today. Im planning on repasting both. AGAIN. Twice within 2 weeks. Ive thought about buying waterblocks too but am unsure if itll do much good. Maybe these cards are just junk?

Brilliant reduction in hotspot temperature, I believe you can buy a deshroud mount for this kit on Etsy.

Gives protips Also I forgot to take the other screws lol

When i see that temps, im sooo fine, that my cpu, vrms and gpu is under water. no time over 40°C under full load

So The Hotspot problem on asrock card was this slimy Thermal Creamy substance? So i just need to repaste it? and then im happy?

Do not use 70% alcohol for delicate electronic components. Minimum 90% As anything Less risks mineralization/ residue From the water. maybe not the first time but overtime This is a surefire way too cause, corrosion and or shorts on your expensive components. If you're cleaning your computer monitor or your gaming controller, any plastic? Yeah, use 70% if you want, or just some freaking soap. But. for electronics don't half-a$$ it... 90% minimum. Other than that. I couldn't watch much. more because of your pop ups and your. channel name is get smart, which hurts my head. Keep it up and good luck.

My 7600 is @ 50c and the hotspot is 64c.

How long have you had your gpu for before seeing high temps? I have a month old 7900xtx asus tuff reaching 82c Hotspot im keeping a eye on it seeing if it goes up more. Im sure im going to have to repast it

The thickness is not an indicator of if it is legit. Honeywell has datasheets and physical properties specs for the PTM7950. Thickness can be 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5mm. A lot of misinformation and confusion regarding the thickness. Not sure what the chinese stores are selling, but same as you I can confirm that ot works great.

what should the hotspot temps even be on these cards? i have the asus tuff edition and i have not seen it go 90c on hot spot yet but i also heard using a different cable can help :shrug: maybe you can test this and do another video covering this? i'm not sure how true it is tho not sure how a cable to can effect temps

The difference in temps here is absolutely insane. What's the point of making such an expensive graphics card and then doing such a half-assed job with the thermal compounds? It would be a relatively cheap way of helping to reduce failure rates, reduce warranty processing/ repair costs by reducing warranty claims, and also reduce the speeds that the fans need to run at. Decent thermal compounds would be a fraction of the price of retail prices when bought in bulk by a company like Asrock. We're talking less than 5 dollars per graphics card. It doesn't have to even be the same quality of thermal compounds used in this video, it just needs to not be as bad as whatever they used, or maybe the issue is to do with how well the compound they used worked with their cooler design. The bottom line is that obviously something they did just wasn't working nearly as well as this after-market thermal compound. Also, someone really needs to take these companies to court over the "warranty void if removed" stickers. Not only is it illegal to deny a warranty claim because someone has performed their own maintenance and removed one of these stickers, it is illegal to provide false information which misleads people as to whether they are eligible for a warranty claim, so they are breaking the law by just putting these stickers on their products. They can argue that they're trying to discourage people who don't know what they're doing from doing their own maintenance, but if they really care about that, they need to change what the warning labels say. For example, they could provide QR codes which link to detailed tutorials on how to properly and safely disassemble the cards and/or provide maintenance on them.

thanks for making this. my hot spots temps are about 20 c over my GPU temps on my 4080. ordered some PTM 7950. hope it works

this is great, thanks

i got mine from aliexpress, horror of horrors!!, and guess what, it WORKS and for any one who's going to tackle this, putting the sticker in the corner makes pealing away the plastic easier.

hey I hope you see this I have a 04 Sentra with 40k miles and I want to replace the taillights and I really like yours where did you get them from? I plan too restore my Sentra

I tried to replace my bulbs I bought increase they sell at AutoZone, and tried to put it on now the blinkers don't work at all

Amazing video

Thanks!!! Great video 😊

Como se llama esa pieza x favor

Thanks for the video
