According to Igor's Lab the pad is a lot better than the paste.A lot of people saying that there are many fake PTM7950s. I am looking for the paste not the pads so it's even harder to find anything. I found this on ebay but no reviews of the item (just of seller) and come from china. So,anyone can suggest me a source to buy legit ptm7950 paste ?

Have you done many applications with it? How 'bad' is it to apply? Does warming it up help?I bought from there and did indeed get the genuine stuff. Shipping is a bit harsh to the USA, but YMMV. I just threw some other articles in there to make it "worthwhile."

I didn't buy the paste version. For the pad version though its the opposite, 15 mins in the freezer massively aids in making the application doable.Does warming it up help?
I can relate as I'm fairly disabled in one arm (nerve issues from a bad bone break cause random spasms). But I manage it if I do the freezer trick so it must not be awful.I'm (usually) too unsteady to apply cut PTM patches. A paste ver. of the stuff is very attractive.

I've done this 'trick' the 3 or 4 times I've (attempted to) apply the stuff. It certainly 'helps' but if you're not quick and/or you have high ambients, the 'help' is EXTREMELY short-lived.I didn't buy the paste version. For the pad version though its the opposite, 15 mins in the freezer massively aids in making the application doable.
It is very sticky clingy and prone to breakage, unlike normal thermal pads. The freezer seems to lessen this enough to make it "average" difficulty. Without that trick I might even call the application "hard."
I've done three applications total (once on my cpu and 2x gpus, a 6900 XT and a 7900XTX).
Unironically, encouraging.I can relate as I'm fairly disabled in one arm (nerve issues from a bad bone break cause random spasms). But I manage it if I do the freezer trick so it must not be awful.

I can only advise here, if we talk CPU usage, to try going for Thermalright Heilos pads. Those are ones that I can vouch for and have good reviews (ie they perform on par with HW PTM) and the benefit there is that they come pre-cut in the correct size for either AMD or Intel, depending on the SKU.I can relate as I'm fairly disabled in one arm (nerve issues from a bad bone break cause random spasms). But I manage it if I do the freezer trick so it must not be awful.
