I'm hoping you keep updating your test drive, will be interesting to see a monthly update to see if it lasts 1 year or more
I’ll post monthly updates.

Where is everyone ordering PTM7950 from?
Seems to be some quality issues or knockoff/counterfeit product out there, that some people have reported on other forum's posts
The results look very good for the PTM7950, I just want to get it from a reliable vendor
MODDIY if you want an authentic one that performs better than some of the pre packaged knockoffs of Amazon. There are legit ones on Amazon but I wanted to ensure I got the real thing.
Maybe, if 4 other people wanted to join me & buy some in bulk as a group, say everyone buys 10 --> there seems to be a big discount @ Qt of 50. I do not "need" ( 10) 80mm X 80mm pads - but @ that price, why not  I would have to call PPCs & find out what is possible, as online inventory is not showing that many available to order currently. Over on PPCs ---> MODDIY is selling their productHoneywell PTM7950 SP Super Highly Thermally Conductive PCM Pad 80mm X 40mm = $26.29 ea .......... Buy 50 for $19.50 each and save 26%  80mm X 80mm = $48.58 ea ......... Buy 50 for $19.50 each and save 60%

To try and save you a bit of sanity @Cool GTX, I am running both of these in my 13900K (PCM-1) and 14900KS (PTM7950) builds, and they seem to function exactly the same as any type of "authentic" PTM 7950. In fact, achieving much higher OC stability than previously, better temps by about ~5C across the board under load and similar voltage settings as my previous settings with PK-3, which was crashing quite constantly under load with OC clocks. Huge improvement in thermals and OC stability with these, can confirm since I've tested both: PTM7950 80x80x0.2mm Phase Change GPU Thermal Pad https://www.newegg.com/p/2MB-001F-00072?Item=9SIA4REK368786UPSIREN PCM-1 Thermal Grease Replacement PCM Pad https://www.newegg.com/p/2MB-00B8-00010

I also tried PTM7950 on my TUF 4090.
After one week, I would say the core temperature didn't drop compared to high quality pastes, but the hotspot did. And it seems to only get better over time rather than get worse which it did with 3 high quality pastes that I tried.
Highly recommended.

Highly recommended.
It will take some time to see the full results, I went from 28-32c idle to 72c at full load with cyberpunk fully maxed out with the hot spot hitting 82c and that was with an aggressive fan curve. This is after a year of ownership as things slowly heated up. With the pad installed and cured. Went down to 25c idle, a max temp of 57c and the hot spot not exceeding 67.1c. Once I yeeted my overclocks as you see above the Honeywell PTM7950 pad cured rather quickly and temps got better all around.

Good to hear. I'm hoping to repaste my year old EKWB install in the next couple weeks. I just got back from a long vacation and didn't get to it yet. I was going to try KPX on it, had already bought before you guys were talking about the other one. Will be interesting to see how it compares to the Kryonaut I put on there the first time. Probably going to do my CPU with it while I'm in there as well (2+ year old Kryonaut on that as well).

If you opened your RTX 4090 to re-paste it you might have voided the warranty.
lol. I’d like for them to try it. I’ll contact the federal trade commission, and file a case in small claims court.
lmao..im sure that would have worked out for u

How do you guys cut these pads to down to size of the gpu and cpu? I am gonna redo 2 of my watercooled computer systems next weekend.

I used an x-acto knife, I used painters tape on the gpu die itself because you cannot take proper measurements at least on mine due to the caps in the way without a caliper. Large piece of blue painters tape X-acto knife to cut around the die gently, peel off place on Honeywell ptm7950 pad as a cutting template stencil, use x-acto Knife with a ruler to help keep a straight line, apply it to the gpu die, toss my air cooler back on and done.
