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!

The Mini PC tested is a GMKtec Evo-X2, a computer that uses the Ryzen AI 9 395+ Max. In this video, we compare Arctic MX-7 with the 11 Thermal Solutions from our last video, and even show that it can tame our Mini PC, even when using the High-TDP Performance Mode of 120-140W!
