@sonhuynhthanh1161 Not all Thermal Putties are safe to use on electronics. Some conduct electricity (like T-Global TG-NSP80). None of the ones on my charts conduct electricity.
TG-PP10 is 10W/mK There are thermal pads with higher conductivity ratings, but as this rating goes up, the pads tend to be thicker and less compressible. If the tolerance between your component and heatsink is exactly the same thickness, e.g. a 1mm pad and the distance between your memory and heatsink is exactly 1mm, this is the way to go. However on a lot of GPUs, this isn't the case, the distance might be 0.75mm, 1.25mm, 1.6mm etc... and trying to use a thermal pad that is quite hard and non-compressible in such a scenario, often causes contact issues between the GPU die and heatsink, resulting in higher GPU hotspot temperatures.
10 w/mk with no compressuon needed to achieve that rating. Fills up to 8mm gap according to specifications. It's also more of a heavy clay like substance. It has a very high density, unlike foam (which has air in it). To my understanding pads like Gelid Extreme and Gelid Ultimate both require 40% Compression to achieve the results from their tests (which I interpret as their w/mk rating). I assume this may be true for other pads as well. I've ordered some items to try testing different pads/putties head to head and will be posting that video some time in the future once I get a chance to do it. I'll also be getting other high end pads along with some low end pads for the tests.

@@mehmetalikp1002 I bought a 1000g tub from Digikey for $291.65 CAD (with taxes/shipping). This job used 41 grams so came out to $11.95 CAD. I've added a cost breakdown in the description below.

Hi,
Do I have to use thermal putty for both VRAM and VRM?
I usually do. It helps you avoid pad compression and core contact issues.

@@snarksdomain thanks 🥰
@@snarksdomain I have another question. Thermal putty are always safe for gpu, right? Thank you so much for your speedy reply 🥰🥰

What is the conductivity of the foam you use?, Wouldn't it be better if you use a thermal pad?
