Ultra 16.8w/mk Thermal Putty for VGA GPU IC Processor Rapid Cooling Thermal Pad Replacement Heat Blocking Putty (20g)

I got tired of getting worried about buying the right size thickness of replacement pads after buying two XFX RX 7900XTX Merc310 video cards I wanted to repaste with MX-6 on the GPU die. I never trust OEMs on using premium thermal paste or pads, and I was right. One card had too little paste, the other bubble areas from pump out. Forget using the spatula for anything other than just grabbing a bit of this stuff out of the bottle, go for full coverage rubber, nylon, whatever gloves. I learned it's best to start the flattening process yourself with a single finger. Use the spatula to cut off excess, but be ready for this stuff to come apart and get stuck to your gloves when you least expect it. Cleaning the surfaces with 91% or above isopropyl alcohol helped it to stick especially on the VRAM. **One major note. Expect to use 1 full bottle of the larger size of this stuff per graphics card (GPU). Each VRAM row in my card was 8GB, so 3 full rows of VRAM for the 24GB. Add in the capacitors, ICs, other originally covered with pads and I can guarantee you it's best to have a full large bottle versus 1 small bottle per card!!** it was worth it though. The VRAM temps alone from this stuff dropped about 8C without load and almost 10C under load. Was it perfect application..probably not but who cares.

The thermal paste on my ASUS G15 2021 needed replacing and so did compound on the VRMs. Don't bother looking for the exact pads manufacturers use as the thickness can be very tricky.With some time and patience you can work this putty to cover the VRMs just right, and even if you screw up, you can always keep molding it and removing/adding what you need.Thermals are great too.

I thought the consistency of the "putty" was going to be spreadable. Its like playdough left out all day to dry. Skip the spatula, go straight for the finger nubs / use gloves. Work it with your fingers to warm it and get it to stick to itself, then apply to the areas. What a pain to work with.

This paste is nice and easier for installation of different components with different sizes that need thermal pads but not the correct height. As far as temps go it does keep the laptops and gaming consoles at low temps. I mainly use this to replace the ones on the Xbox series s and X and PlayStation 5 thermal putty. Mainly on the PlayStation 5 because Xbox users are cheap as h3ll and they don’t want to pay to get them service. That’s why Xbox series x when they die they die.

I have several SSRs (Solid State Relays) that got pretty hot in my application, so I got heatsinks and used this putty to couple them. This may be over the top for my application, but, it does lower the SSR temp quite a bit. Enjoy.

I used this to replace 2.25mm thermal pads on a 3080 since 2.25mm is an odd size and impossible to find for a reasonable price. The thermal putty worked great and reduced the vram temps by around 15 degrees. The card also runs a whole lot quieter and I can finally enjoy games without my pc sounding like a jet engine.

Well it did it's job and I have no complaints about performance. Was a pain in the ass to apply since it was both too sticky but also to slimy to really mold it to shape like I was hoping.Expect to use rubbing alcohol a lot for clean up, 91% and up is recommended, and I would invest in a proper box of rubber gloves instead of the little finger ones it comes it if you want dexterity and for application to be not so messy.

This is my first time using this type of thermal putty, but I found it extremely difficult to work with. I'm not sure if the batch I got was defective, but it's not sticky or soft at all. I struggled to get it out of the container at all without breaking the tool it came with. It was also less than a third full, although I have nothing to measure it with so I can't confirm the mass.
