I'm pretty sure it was cheap stuff but, there's a good chance it may have something to do with my attempts at overclocking it.... 🤔 It overclocks better now haha.
@MrMeekoGames thank you for watching. It's a long video for people who aren't really into this sort of thing, and probably a bit annoying for those who are lol so, thanks for sticking with it.
Liked the video. The video was well done and I'm so happy that it worked for you. I repasted my daughters laptop apu with mx4 and the temps hold much steadier. Great job on the editing I was glued to my seat. I'm a nerd at heart though and I repair anything electronic. We'll I used to then I had to retire.
Thanks Shaun. I was pretty tired when I shot most of the video so, I was mumbling sometimes. Lighting wasn't great either but, it's a learning curve and the next one will be better. Hopefully.
@@100500daniel that's a bit of a broad statement - it's already below 80 degrees if I turn the fans up lol. Tpm7950 is good but, you can't stack it to to bridge air gaps like you can with the arctic pads. As for long term... How long do you mean? I plan to build a new gaming rig next year, the old one will be sold to offset the cost.
@@Mr.SausageFingers research about PTM 7950 a little bit next time you're planning to repaste a GPU or something. It's thermal paste not thermal pads, it just comes in pad form. I've repasted my XTX with it and my delta is like 15c, And it doesn't have pump out effect, like regular paste. Your card will start running hotter pretty soon, the hotspot at least.
Yeah, I know it well, there's even a liquid version for industrial use. I used what I used for convenience and performance, the ptm is not so easy to aquire here in the UK.
That pink paste was diabolical, haha.

@@Mr.SausageFingers it was really cool to see the results at the end

The only longterm solution for this card is Honeywell PTM 7950. Drops the hotspot below 80c.
