Change to AMD 6900XT graphics card with water cooling in an attempt to get the block to sit better, because the stock thermal pads as well as some others did not manage to change the core temperature (95 hotspot at 330 watts), so with a thick layer on phases and memories (a little extra doesn't hurt, it just gets pushed out anyway) I managed to lower the hotspot by about 20 degrees to 75.

So for use in water-cooled blocks it's a bit of an expensive solution but it does the job, now for memories the temperature is the same or a little better so there wasn't a huge difference.

The texture is exactly like plasticine but more wet and fragile, I made pea-sized balls with my hands and put the amount I wanted, relatively easily.

Even though the Chinese competition, at 1/3 of the price, I believe would have done the job just as well, I trusted Thermal Grizzly because it's a reliable brand

The only thing I will say about this particular thermal putty is that it's the first one I've ever handled and it gave me the WORST EXPERIENCE with thermal putty I could have had.

I watched videos on YouTube before I got it, about how to apply it, how much to use, temperatures, etc., and most people treat it like playdough—you take it, make little balls, and put it on spots where you would have a thermal pad... YEAH, RIGHT.

It sticks to gloves, it sticks to anything you leave it on, it's like a slightly more liquid paste that has dried out (imagine opening up a computer to change the paste, and it's dried out enough to be like flakes).

This is somewhere in between dried and fresh paste. I don't know how all these YouTubers manage to make it "playdough" (then again, it wasn't this exact paste I saw), and apply it so easily.

After 90 minutes of struggling to put on as much as needed (and I still think I put on more than I should have), the CPU and GPU are down 20 degrees.

With simple thermal pads, maybe some components from the CPU and GPU (like VRAM, etc.), which are usually around the CPU and GPU, must have been getting hot. And of course, there's the other headache—maybe they're too thick, too thin, if they make good contact, etc.

After removing them and applying this "thermal putty," all the temperatures dropped by about 20 degrees, maybe even more:

CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H): From 78 max to 52 degrees.
GPU (NVIDIA RTX 3070 Laptop GPU): From 84 -> 64.

The stress test was done with Novabench.

Essentially, this particular thermal putty must be FANTASTIC at what it does, as long as you have experience applying it and infinite patience. It's not like the videos you see on YouTube.

Maybe I had a bad experience because it was my first time, and because I had a laptop with (maybe) smaller spots where it had to go, and it gave me a hard time.

I don't know if I would recommend it for the processor and GPU themselves, where you can easily use thermal paste without making a mess, but you can use it in spots where there are thermal pads easily.

Good luck with your patience.

Good implementation, I bought it to replace the putty on the Xbox Series X VRAM and VRM.

Easy installation, it definitely reduced the fan noise so I assume it also lowered the temperatures.
