Pros: -Works well, and easy to apply -Personal opinion: Likely genuine!

Cons: -No Honeywell sticker

Overall Review: -Pre PTM7950 and situation: Put this on my CPU and GPU and noticed significantly lower temps across the board. My GPU needed a firmware update awhile ago for REBAR support (if you know you know) and I decided to download a 300w bios (from the 240w.) Quickly noticed stock TIM was awful and repasted with MX-6 and got good temps, but unfortunately the temps promised were so short lived that I thought it was just the heat-soak but knowing now, its not! As for CPU, I feel MX-6 worked really well for the CPU but just didn't perform to the tune of a 360mm AIO in any regard. -Post PTM7950: I had at first repasted directly onto the die on the GPU and immediately noticed much cooler temps (similar temps to previous 90% fan-speed (67C) with around (64c-66c) at 60% fan-speed at ambient of 64F (17C) for both.) However, I was not confident in the application as the GPU acted as sort of a test as I wanted to try something I saw while learning more about it while waiting for it to ship. I took it apart and repasted the PTM (oversized rectangle shape) directly to the copper heat pipes that contacts the GPU-die with firm pressure in a way that in re-assembly the GPU-die casts itself into the PTM7950 on the cooler with pressure. My expectation was both that the air bubbles, wherever they might be, would be less likely between the GPU-Die and the PTM. Low and behold, it had slightly dropped to 59-61c on 60% fan speed with a Delta of 11c-14c on the hotspot. It would even allow me to get HALFWAY through a Timespy with a overclock that would of crashed immediately, for whatever that's worth. For the CPU, I had applied the PTM directly to the AIO cooling plate as I did for the second GPU re-paste and results are still insane. For starters, every core on the CPU is the exact same temp and the graph on MSI Afterburner looks pretty crazy. While Gaming at a locked 60fps, the CPU will stay at around 45C (which makes sense because the energy required to change a material's phase is far higher than raising actual temperature) and when gaming unlocked it can range anywhere from 50c-60c, which is quite a bit lower than the MX-6 which is about 58c-67/68c. While under heavy load (100% utilization) the temps are roughly in same range as the MX-6 (78-82c) but I'm theorizing its because the main thermal mass, the water in the loop, is getting consistently hotter, but I'm just gonna go ahead and blame ASETEK and the patent. As for curing, this stuff DOES get better QUICKLY within about 5 days you'll just be waiting for the fine wine gains, a little bit here on the hotspot a little bit there on the core etc. One thing I want to make evident is the consistency of the heat-soak, for the first time this stuff will usually start off at about 50c-51c when under instant 100% load and will slowly rise to the 59c-60c with 60% fan-speed and when cut off, will slowly drop from 54c slowly to 33c over the course of about a minute, an amazing display! Lastly, I gave a friend some of the sheet to put on his GPU and CPU (his GPU was at 80c @ 95% fan-speed) and before the conversation he didn't even know exactly what was in his PC and he still applied it well. He didn't rave about temperatures but interestingly inquired as to why his GPU was at 76C. Told him to look at his fan speed and I'm assuming it was lower because it made since after I said that. That was directly after application and I haven't heard a single complaint yet. I also told him to set a set fan-speed so the PTM can cycle phases at idle which I have found to be the optimal use of the material -Conclusion: Is this confirmed genuine with a bunch of **stickers** ... No. Does it perform well? In a matter of conjecture, yes! But it also brings up something interesting, the way modern coolers are designed seemed to be very very capable especially my GPU with direct-die heat pipes. This PTM will help THE MOST (in my opinion) exploiting the gains to be had and keeping them there while slowly adapting every element to be more functional than last time. Real or not, this is a material that has finally performed to expectation and I have never been more glad I try to maintenance my PC as others have benefitted from this one glimpse into a grey sheet for thermal conduction. -Addendum: Put on cooler and cast onto die, use sufficient cooling pressures and DO NOT STRIP THOSE SCREWS. Tighten in a star pattern. Don't be afraid to try again.
