I started to have a CPU overheating issue with my 2020 Razer Blade 15 base model with an i7 10750H. It was constantly reaching 100c+ on nearly all cores at full load. I decided to repaste my CPU/GPU die, but first I did some research for the best possible solution that will help me lower my temperatures even by 5c degrees. Found out about PTM7950. But for some reason, Honeywell doesn't sell to consumers directly. So you have to go off with unknown brands. So I found this one here on Amazon and took a leap of faith and it didn't disappoint for the most part. Let's get the negative side out of the way. This is not quite easy to apply and takes patience. Make sure to freeze these until they are hard so that you can cut them accordingly at room temperature. Then freeze it again so that applying these on the CPU and GPU dies are much easier. But once you're able to install these properly, surprisingly, this thing functions very well. The thickness seems to be just right for my cooler and the adhesive quality (aka stickiness) is on par with most thermal paste. My CPU temps no longer reaches 100c+ on full loads consistently. But this thing is far from perfect. While I tend to only reach between 94c-96c on full load (usually gaming on AAA titles), my CPU idles a bit high to my liking ranging from 71c to 86c. It's not consistent on it's idle temps and fluctuates even when I'm not doing anything and just on the desktop screen with nothing open. While hitting 94c-96c while gaming is respectable on a gaming laptop. From time to time, it will climb to 100c on a couple of the cores out of 6. But it still beats having all cores consistently hitting those numbers previously. Also, you never have to worry about reapplying more overtime like thermal paste do when they degrade. Since I never have to repaste my CPU/GPU again, I don't need to worry about whether or not this thing is easy to clean or not. Overall, if you're looking for a thermal paste alternative for your CPU/GPU, this is definitely recommended. Again, the only reason I gave it a 4 star is because my idle temps are inconsistent and I still reach the 90s while gaming. But it did it's job well enough and solved my issue of overheating. *****EDIT***** Changed the rating from 4 star to 5 star and here's why. After switching to a different thermal solution, I found out that my new thermal pads were a bit thick and not allowing my cooling system to have proper contact with my cpu/gpu die. So I decided to purchase these again and use thermal putty instead where thermal pads are needed. Boy do these things work great! I threw everything at it, games, benchmarks and the CPU only got as hot as 90c. To keep this short as I rambled long enough, here are the results in comparison to before and now.

Just make sure to install it properly or it won't work.
