I'm looking for tips on where to purchase genuine PTM7950 thermal paste. The LTT store is out of stock, and I only need a small amount, so I can't order directly from Honeywell. I tried buying some from Amazon, but I'm worried that it might be counterfeit products from China. Are there reliable sources out there? Also, is there a substantial difference between the authentic PTM7950 and the fake ones when it comes to direct die cooling?

I picked up some PTM7950 from AliExpress, and it seems legit. My temps are noticeably lower compared to using Noctua NT-H1. Can’t say for sure if it’s 100% authentic, but it works well for me!
The PTM7950 I ordered from Amazon turned out to be genuine and it's performing great! Just check the reviews and seller ratings before you buy.
Sounds good! But how would you tell if it’s not fake? Any tips on what to look for?
If you're on the hunt for quality, Thermal Grizzly offers their "PhaseSheet PTM" as an alternative. May be worth checking it out!
Yeah, I know even some knockoffs can lower your temps, but I'm after the real deal. I'd love to experience the difference! What do you think? Is it worth it?
