Honeywell PTM7950 vs PTM3180
Caution! We have noticed that there are places selling fake, mixed, or expired PTM7950.
PTM3180 being falsely marketed as PTM7950.
Counterfeit products that are not PTM at all.
Products mixed with other thermal paste.
Expired PTM7950 being resold.
0.2mm thickness being misrepresented as 0.25mm, which is the optimal thickness for best performance.
It can be challenging for users to detect these issues. While some counterfeit products may show initial thermal improvements compared to a dried-out paste, their performance will degrade significantly over time when compared to genuine, new PTM7950.
Using authentic and optimally thick PTM7950 ensures consistent performance improvement after PTM cycles. It also maintains thermal efficiency for many years, eliminating the need to reapply paste throughout the hardware's lifespan.
