thermal paste Which Thermal Paste to buy and apply (Traditional and Liquid Metal)

[Vasudev]

Got my hands on PTM7950 thermal pad which I specifically bought for my 4070 Super thinking temps would be bad out of box and so far its been good with core temps at 65C and memory hotspot at 84C with ambient temp of 29-35C with >90% humidity.

@Vasudev Please put a warning for Thermalright TF8 in OP post and refer to this post or link. Or just remove it completely from post #1. Thanks.

 

Buyer warning! Thermalright TF8 in the 2025 follow-up test – label fraud with worse paste under the same name.

 

Warning... Stop buying Thermalright TF8.

Polartherm X-8 and X-10, the best thermal pastes in terms of quality/price ratio?

 

 

We can find the Polartherm X-8 for sale on Amazon from 6.90 euros, with 12.10 euros for 5 grams, 13.48 euros for 10 grams and 26.15 euros for 40 grams. Although these prices include shipping, we have seen in other stores how prices start as low as 1.80 euros for two grams , with 10 grams costing around 5 euros. These are sensational prices for a thermal paste of its quality, unbeatable by any other.

 

The Polartherm X-10 , on the other hand, starts at €7.90 for two grams and rises to €38.76 for 40 grams, both with shipping included. Again, other stores offer it at a fantastic price , with the 10-gram syringe being unbeatable for €7.70.
