Thermal Puddy VS Thermal Pad

[@evilleader1991]

I fixed my GPU hotspot issue by replacing thermal pads with Upsiren U6 Pro and GPU die thermal paste with PTM7950 :) (GPU = XFX 6800 XT Speedster Merc 319). Hotspot temps went from 100-105 celsius down to 85-90 degrees and the temperature delta between core and hotspot is only ~10 celsius now compared to 20-25 celsius earlier. If I bought thermal putty today I would probably get the CX-H1300 13.5W/m.K as it outperforms Upsiren U6 Pro and is cheaper too :).

[@TechnologyHive]

Good info, thank you! I will have to look into this thermal pads.

[@李诗豪-v9r]

UPSIREN now has a new thermal putty UTP-8, the performance is much better than CX-H1300, I have tried it

[@evilleader1991]

@@李诗豪-v9r Thanks for the heads up, I am tempted to buy some now :D

[@TechnologyHive]

@user-jv7le2li4t I'll have look at that. Thank you.

[@gorkman5697]

how is the thermal putty are you satisfied i am thinking to buy also

[@cmos64]

Is it really smooth like paste when you spread it with a spatula? You said it doesn't have anything like sand in it, which is what I'm looking for some applications I'm working on. I've tried all upsiren versions and all of them are scratching the surfaces I'm applying them on (I guess a lot of aluminum?).

[@TechnologyHive]

Not this. This stuff is smooth and when you wipe it off, it comes off clean when hardened. It becomes like silicone rubber when cured. Nothing rough about it.

[@cmos64]

@@TechnologyHive Thank you! I'll order some from ali.

[@m1k4c]

I don't get it. If this putty is doing well, temp should've gone up, not down. You're not measuring GPU or GDDR temperature here, you're measuring heatsink temperature, and it doesn't seem to be "sinking" heat as well as with pads.

[@TechnologyHive]

I am measuring the rear of the pcb, heat under the memory chip. If the puddy is not doing well, the memory chip would run hotter, thus resulting in higher temps. Not hard to understand.

[@m1k4c]

@@TechnologyHive Pretty easy. I'm an idiot, I thought the thermocouple was placed on alu-plate (dedicated memory heatsink). Sorry, man, I watched one more video in parallel, things mixed in my fuked up head ;D TbT - I am looking into buying 20g of this exact putty, so I'm in a process of quick, lazy and irresponsible information aquisition online. It seemed fishy to me - this putty is cheaper than even the cheapest Upsiren putty, cheaper even than the Jeyi putty rated at 5WmK (man, I love all Jeyi stuff), so it seems pretty unbeleivable that they would be selling 15WmK compound for like 5$ for 20 GRAMS! Not that I believe these specs, or think they're the most important thing, but on the other hand - products such as these tend to be crazy overpriced because of gamers and nerds, people who'd sell their mother for few C of OC room lol. Which is why I found that, for example, GD-2 is an excellent paste. Crazy cheap and excellent. 3$ for 30grams, in the same class as Arctic and Kryo that charge more for 1g. Some people simply don't exploit this situation with spoiled gaming kids ;D Hey, if you say it's good, I'm buying. Actually, if you reached this far - if it's not a problem - as ltp15 cures, does it harden, or does it melt into the edges? In essence, can I use this putty alone, or only to add thickness to pads?

[@RIPPERwBFG]

Ether way if the heat sink would heat up the heat disapation would be bad and the chip would be cooking under it so his test was spot on

[@M9FQU3U]

I'm still debating between the heatsink or this glue but the glue seems easier to use and fits many sizes.

[@TechnologyHive]

@M9FQU3U It works good. Still using it today.

[@trex6693]

how is this LTP 15 compared to k5 pro? planning to buy one of these for laptop

[@TechnologyHive]

@@trex6693 I have not tried K5 PRO. But this works fine. It's still in use on one of my graphics cards vram. Temps are good.

[@LOLKIE-x9r]

I like thermal putty, it's great for small devices like laptops, phones. thermal pads are hard to find the right size, especially small devices.

[@TechnologyHive]

@yoomy9981 it is helpful, especially when you do not have the right thermalpad size.

[@sierraecho884]

I would like to know how the toothpaste in the glas jar from China behaves after a couple of months and years after usage.

[@TechnologyHive]

Just don't brush your teeth with it. And it is performing well still.

[@sierraecho884]

@@TechnologyHive Source ? Where can I see it´s performance after a couple of years ?

[@TechnologyHive]

@@sierraecho884 You asked me how it is doing after a couple of years. This video is not that old. As of making this video, the thermal puddy is still holding well on my 2080 ti folding@home 24-7. Doing a Google search could perhaps answer your question. You wont find it here.

[@sierraecho884]

@@TechnologyHive "...You asked me how it is doing after a couple of years. This video is not that old. ..." I don´t care. For people like me, the consumer, it´s important to not only have a snapshot, but to know if it will perform just as well in a year. Your video is not old ? No, problem, you just can´t say then. "...As of making this video, the thermal puddy is still holding well on my 2080 ti folding@home 24-7. ..." This is good to know, thank you. "...Doing a Google search could perhaps answer your question. You wont find it here...." Different people use different parameters. Here I can see how you applied it and on which hardware. Comparing with somebody else is still only a small sample size and introduces other parameters as well. But yes I am looking for other tests as well. The main reason to use thermal putty is it´s simple application where you don´t need different thicknesses of those shitty pads. I don´t repaste 10 devices a day, I probably will do it once a year so I am not willing to buy 5 different thermal pad sizes and measure and hope I was right etc. way too much hassle. The performance of the putty is good the only question is how well it lasts over time. The K5 Pro was hyped and it turned out to be shit after a year.

[@TechnologyHive]

@@sierraecho884 I can tell you that I am very satisfied with it. I do not use it to replace pads over 0.75mm, however. I reserve this for uses where space is real tight and 0.5mm pads just aren't making the right contact. The stuff is not the greatest, but despite the hate I have gotten here in the comments, it is holding satisfyingly well running 24-7 on VRM and memory chips. If you come back to me in a few more months, I will gladly update you if any changes. No problem.

[@karimahmed763]

Which is better? Thermal Putty VS Thermal PAD

[@TechnologyHive]

@@karimahmed763 It depends on the application and quality. It's not a question of whether if one is better than the other, but rather which brand you're using and your circumstances. So again, it depends.

[@Luissebb]

Nice video man, I was about to buy this thermal putty (it looks nice Imo), but since it's pretty much the same as traditional thermal pads I guess I will go with another one. Thanks

[@TechnologyHive]

I have started using it to replace 0.5mm pads. It works wonders!

[@Luissebb]

@@TechnologyHive I have a lenovo legion 5 and this has 0.8mm pads on vrams, so the 0.75mm pads leaves a gap in between and 1mm pads are too tick (half of the gpu's die has no contact), so had to use the first with thermal paste on so it would make contact, at least while I wait my chinese thermal putty (Bought like 3 still don't which one I will use lol)... Also checked your video about hot spot very interesting, and it turns out my laptop has a strange pattern once you lift the heatsink, maybe that's the reason noctua h1 only last like a week with good temps. Didn't know that, but anyway I will use ptm7950 (from China too) instead of thermal paste on the cpu and gpu.

[@TechnologyHive]

@@Luissebb I hope you get that fixed. It sucks having to deal with heat issues.

[@李诗豪-v9r]

Try UPSIREN UTP-8

[@TechnologyHive]

I will check it out. Thank you!

[@cmos64]

Utp-8 has top tier performance but it's way too scratchy. Not much of a deal on most applications like GPU RAM ICs or VRMs but it will scratch chipset dies for example (depending on the compression).

[@TechnologyHive]

@cmos64 That's real good to know. Thanks for the info!

[@李诗豪-v9r]

@@cmos64 I have been using thermal putty for 2 years. You are the first to say that thermal putty can scratch the chip. Moreover, thermal putty does not contain aluminum. The powder of thermal putty is about the same fineness. Of course, the finer the powder, the better the performance. The better, if your thermal putty does not perform as well as UPSIREN's, then your powder will be coarser

[@EvoPortal]

That thermal putty is garbage why did you buy it???

[@TechnologyHive]

I bought it because I wanted to.

[@EvoPortal]

@@TechnologyHive Dude you got to do some research first before you buy things. On top of that you made a silly KZbin video about a product you know nothing about. Absolutely crazy. Before you do anything you need to stop and get an education on what you are about to do first. You can't just wing it. That leads to failure as in this case. You're going to ruin your channel with your lack of education on the topics.

[@TechnologyHive]

@@EvoPortal I hope you're joking LOL. Who made you the expert in this field, and who are you to go on someone's channel and tell them what to do? This is my channel and I make videos of what I want. I pay for what I buy and I do reviews on what I want, good product or bad product, that's the point! When you start paying me for my purchases, then come on here and express your feelings :) Using your logic, KZbinrs should only buy products to make videos if someone else has already reviewed the product to find out whether it is good or bad. That is a flawed logic if I ever heard one. The point of the video went right over your head, so let me inform you the video is to find out whether the putty is good or bad by means of testing. Surprisingly, it works great! I have it running on a RTX 3080 over the VRM and memory and my temperatures are down 15c from original pads. This GPU run Folding@home 24/7. And since I applied the puddy some months ago, the temperatures are exactly the same as day one. Moral of the story is, before you go and make claims you know nothing about, watch a video like this one to educate yourself :) Have a good one!

[@EvoPortal]

@@TechnologyHive Dude, the problem is you don't have an education on the basic and fundamental technologies of the products you are reviewing. It is also astonishing that you literally stated that you get your education from KZbin reviews. Crazy. You didn't even state the composition of the thermal putty. You have to stop and plan out a video with good information instead of just winging it. Most importantly you need to have a good education in the products you want to review and this does not mean just reading the label on the product.

[@TechnologyHive]

@@EvoPortal I am not going to engage in further dialogs with you. I believe your comments speak for themselves. Have a good one!
