Don't Buy PTM7958? Phase Change vs. Traditional Paste on Mini PC
We finally found the BEST thermal solution for Mini PCs! Our definitive 11-compound test pushes the PTM7950 pad against high-end greases (like MX-6 and Duronaut), then see if the best one can truly handle 140W on our high-end Ryzen Mini PC, the GMKtec Evo-X2. Find out which paste is best for your Mini PC, Steam Deck, or PS4 - and if the "upgraded" PTM7958 is even worth buying! ►Affiliate Links of Pastes in Order (PAID): MX4: https://geni.us/9TNPoo (Amazon) MX6: https://geni.us/xCzL3T (Amazon) Noctua NT-H1: https://geni.us/pujJ (Amazon) Noctua NT-H2: https://geni.us/8F3vIYJ (Amazon) Hydronaut: https://geni.us/ftiFwA (Amazon) Duronaut: https://geni.us/HmRwp (Amazon) Polartherm X-10: https://geni.us/B5vbKYr (Amazon) SMZ-01R: https://geni.us/ojwNk11 (Amazon) SMZ-03L: https://geni.us/QnKEeEN (Amazon) PTM7950 Pad: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4K...
