Another one moved over to PTM7950...


So, my Inspiron 7415 2-in-1 (KDE Neon) had been acting a bit slow recently, and realized that it's getting up there in age (for me) and I had never repasted it since it was new. Decided it was time. Man, this stuff is great for laptops, it's like a whole new lease on life for this laptop. Temps at idle are under 40* C, and even in stress tests barely hits 90* C again (AMD Ryzen 7 5700U)!!! And definitely feels noticebly less laggy now.
Really loving the way this stuff performs.

Hi,

I am wondering if you had any issues installing the pad?

Thanks,

No, I threw it in the freezer for ~15 minutes before putting it on, and use a dental pick to remove the protective layer once it's on the CPU. Works really well actually.

Hi,

Where would we be without medical tools in electronics? My tool set has many dental & medical tools that I use to aid me in repairs.
