All those pcm sheets are amazing specially for laptop that reach easily 100°c, because they don't pump out like most thermal pastes. The only thing you have to be careful with is that when you take them out (it should last years according to manufacturer) because when they're cold they get really dry and hard (like really old thermal paste, even worse), so warm up the gpu before doing that.
@@TechnologyHive You can also try some thermal putty for the vrm and vrams (Not the blue one lol) cx h1300 (cheap and seller says it last 3 years) or upsiren utp8, both good.
@@Luissebb That's good to know. I have a trusty seller on AliExpress I like to buy from. I'll order the Honeywell and Upsiren puddy at the same time, since I have been wanting to try both. Good tips!
actually, it getting hard like dried thermal paste when cold is a plus. It makes it extremely easy to clean off CPUs and coolers because it just flakes off. When I switched CPU coolers the cleanup only took about 30 seconds and 99% of the ptm7950 just scrapped off really easily using a plastic spudger.
You are supposed to "melt in" the phase change sheets (Heilos) so that it phase changes in order to spread and thin out. This increases the the performance of the phase change sheet as it will thin out even more during the first or first few phase changes while also curing. so after this initial test for the melt-in the phase sheet performance should get even better. Initial melt-in / curing could take a while and a few heat cycles to really set up, but performance should increase to maximum capability afterward.
just bought two 40 x 40 pads of this. I think I bought some fake ptm7950 off Amazon so I'm going to try this. I figure since they are a reputable company then I can trust they aren't going to give me fake ptm7950. The instructions recommend applying it to the cooler then waiting 3 mins and peeling off the plastic backing, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to apply it the same way you do any other ptm7950 by putting it in the fridge for about a half hour, peeling the backing and applying to the cpu, then peeling the other piece of plastic right away.
Hi, Just FYI this test wasn't done properly, dont want to be "that guy" The phase change crap needs a burn-in period, in many cases it performs worse when fresh. You need to either use the PC for at least a week or run a bench that hits the GPU, not the VRAM, for 4-8 hours to speed it up. Normal paste, also loves burn-in BTW, not as much as Phase Change but it loves it too For Phase Change its not optional, Burn-In period its just how it works P.S. I used MX-6 on 4090 under custom loop, it was fine, GPU die temps were always low
No worries, I appreciate all the feedback. No one is perfect. I am still using that stuff and I have not noticed any change from day 1. Same performance. And I use it on my daily system. But thanks for your two cents, no pun intended :)
I had to remove the video because I did not like how it came out. I didn't record the reball process nor the problems I was experiencing with the card. It was too vague, IMO.
I got very different result, I put Heilos on my cpu & gpu laptop, the result I got thermal throttle on Intel XTU stress test. I checked online people got a good result, maybe in case there is not enough contact pressure between the cooling block and the cpu/gpu.
It needs some time to settle in, if the temps remain bad then you most likely have sturdy thermal pads making it unable to compress the PTM efficiently. I use different kinds of putty up to 1.5mm and Laird T-Flex HD90000 pads for bigger gaps.
@@Rose.Of.Hizaki it is a different material made by a different company, the thickness of real PTM 7950 is .25mm, this one states it is only .20mm thick.
I’m definitely giving this a go
@@AaronTimm-v4c You will be happy you did.

What happened to the other video with the reballed GPU? I swear something was posted yesterday.
I had to remove the video because I did not like how it came out. I didn't record the reball process nor the problems I was experiencing with the card. It was too vague, IMO.
@@TechnologyHive Dang. Figured as much but had to ask anyway.
Please upload more frequently :)
@@Nubaeus Will do :) And thank you for watching!
Does is perfect for RX 6700XT?
@slavvodkaman9359 You can use it for with the 6700 xt.
@TechnologyHive thank you 😁
I got very different result, I put Heilos on my cpu & gpu laptop, the result I got thermal throttle on Intel XTU stress test. I checked online people got a good result, maybe in case there is not enough contact pressure between the cooling block and the cpu/gpu.
I have not experienced any issues with Heilos. Works great so far :)
@@TechnologyHive have you tried to apply it on a laptop?
@@Klav1eR No. Only on GPU cores and cpus.
@@TechnologyHive thanks for the reply, maybe pcm needs higher contact pressure than thermal paste

Thermalright did nothing here - they just re-sell the ptm7950 in their own packaging
@@1sonyzz Where did you get this information from?
Try PTM next
That's the one...I'll look for it 👍🏼
@@TechnologyHive ebuy7
@@TechnologyHive From what ive heard. Heilos is PTM but just rebranded by T.R. I doubt you'll see any difference.
@Rose.Of.Hizaki I have not heard that nor can I confirm the same. But we will compare them anyway 😊
