Can't open the link not sure why.

Anyway, i am thinking about the kryosheet as mentioned by bro babylon, it is like a permanent no need to redo since it can't dry up and pump out, but probably can't fill the micro space as well as paste? I like the idea of do it and forget about it, no need to headache.

Low power items ok. If you have a current intel i9 , then dont do it. It sucks compare to conventional thermal paste.

For laptops , i get it , because some laptops are hard to dismantle to access the heatsink , might break a clip or 2 at the bottom cover, for each attempt, so you want as less frequent thermal paste repaste as possible.

But for normal desktops users, nah ...

If you are a pc hardware reviewer , then it will serve u well , save u alot of thermal paste when u keep swapping hardware

Bought and tested, there is clear difference, although not up to my expectation. Maybe like 4-5c reduction on hotspot temp, 3c on core temp.

I butchered the installation, had a hard time trying to separate the plastic from the silicon layer and there was parts where I teared the silicon. Decided to just install it to see how it performs, it seems that it works quite alright.

You're supposed to throw the pt7950 into your freezer at night. Leave it until tomorrow morning when you wake up, use it and fast. Malaysia weather is not helpful.
I had the same problem with u initially, but the freezer method makes it easier to separate it from the plastic film.
Once u apply and power up the machine. Put load until it hits above 70C. Then you need to torque down the heatsink some more as the pad melts, thts the way to get the pad to fill microscopic gaps
