Thermal Grizzly Presents PhaseSheet PTM Thermal Pad
With the PhaseSheet PTM, Thermal Grizzly Holding GmbH presents an electrically non-conductive thermal pad based on a phase change material (PCM). With PhaseSheet PTM, Thermal Grizzly closes the gap between traditional thermal paste and thermal pads based on graphene or carbon thermal pads. This means that the respective advantages in terms of application and thermal conductivity can be combined in one product.
PhaseSheet PTM is a thermal pad that has been optimized for applications where maintenance cycles are subject to long intervals. It is more durable than traditional thermal conductive pastes, but not as durable as KryoSheet, for example, which is virtually maintenance-free. The maximum thermal conductivity of PhaseSheet PTM develops and stabilizes after around ten thermal cycles above 60 degrees Celsius.
Compared to traditional thermal paste, PhaseSheet PTM retains a very low viscosity in its liquid state and contracts again when it changes to a solid, so that the so-called "pump-out" effect is only very slight. With the pump-out effect, the thermal paste is pressed out over time, for example between the heat spreader and the base plate of the CPU cooler.
Applications for the PhaseSheet PTM include replacing the thermal paste on older graphics cards or converting to water cooling. Notebooks also benefit greatly from PhaseSheet PTM due to their cooler design and the thermal pad can also be used between processors and CPU coolers.

And I have one still, it cost me around 20 euro for all.

Even cheaper and thermalright is a well regarded brand. Less sketchy than random amazon 3rd party ptm sellers
There's two temps reported on the SSD, the higher one is for controller IIRC so that's the one I'm quoting.
I use it almost daily. Not only Lenovo, but also ASUS uses it for nearly two years already. If you think you are smarter than them, go on.
It only gets better with time, no dreaded pump out, leave it and forget it.
The only thing you have to keep in mind, it needs good mounting pressure. It leaves it suitable only for GPU and CPU... and ofc the original industrial intention LED/Laser lightening cooling.
So what rating is it? (W/mK)
Thermal Conductivity（W / m-k)：8.5 W/mk
There are thermal pastes with a higher rating.
I'd expect a thermal pad/ sheet to be around 50W/mK or higher
I've contacted Thermal Grizzly and requested info on their PTM's thermal rating as their downloaded Data sheet is useless and contains nothing that isn't stated already on their website.
By the same judgement. Look at paste and liquid metal. Is the better thermal conductivity proportional to thermal performance of your given test setup. Well no? Obviously? So why that number matters you, like it really does tell something about the real performance? So like 5-7 times more conductivity is like 2-5C? Physical properties is the key question, a mix of those... simple physics.
