Lowered my liquid devil 7900 XTX hotspot by 20c i repasted 2 times cos stock thermal paste after 3 months gave me 40c delta 92c hotspot, and wen't bad after 2 weeks each using MX-4

im using it now for 2 weeks on my liquid devil 7900 XTX no sign of it getting worse.

usually in 60 to 70c hotspot range at 410 watts total board power at 22c room temp with the airconditioning on, before it would be 75 to 85c hotspot with stock thermal paste aplication before it gotten worse.

 

I wonder how PTM7950 would do long term on direct die with delided ryzen 7000 series cpu since liquid metal is recommended cos anything else pumps out at least thermal paste.

 

Also wish LTT would start testing longevity of thermal paste in their lab cos stuff like MX-4 or even MX-6 usually degrades after 2 weeks especially at high wattage.

 

Altho if seen testing equipment for things like this that i think lab does not have currently.

really agree about the longevity thing.
