Hallo guys, I hope you are doing well...
Just got mine 7950sp paste yesterday.. I also made a mistake and ordered paste, not the pad. I wasn't sure how to apply it and did spread it across the cpu and the gpu die and waited for about 20 minutes for curing proces (i hope i didn't must wait for 15h to cure) and then installed heatsink. I am experienced with repasting and this is my first time to spread it, i always used dot method..but anyway, i have legion 5 r7 5800h with rtx3070 (gpu temps were never a problem), and before repasting cpu temp spikes to 102°C in need for speed heat (cpu hungry game, I don't know why 😅). Yesterday, short after repasting i tried nfs heat, and i saw a little improvement, in the loading screen i had 98°C and than it settles it's down to mid 90s.. today, it is something new happening, at the very beginning of game it goes up to 94, and than settles down to 86 (spikes to 88) and stayed there for about 1 hour, i thought afterburner is stuck but it isn't.. gpu stays at 79 all the time, spikes to 80... So, i think when phase changing happened temps go down, and stayed there without throttling... Only thing that bothers me is cinebench r23, in performance mode cpu goes up to 100.4°C and stays there, but power is good, never hit 80W before for 10 minutes constantly, and score is also good, just little above 13k.
Maybe I can apply the paste a little better (it was pretty bad applying because it is very hard to spread it equally but i think those are big improvements.
