First time using Thermalright Heilos (PTM7950 like) high temps help! Ryzen 9800X3D
Hello, I'm using the Thermalright Heilos paste for the first time, and from what I’ve heard, it should be slightly less effective than the regular Honeywell PTM 7950. However, my temperatures are always in the high 90s—around 95°C—when I run benchmarks or use FurMark. Did I do something wrong? I ordered two pads and used both, as I got similar results with the first one.
Could someone please help me? I’ve heard there’s a burn-in process, but I’ve already done many heat cycles (like 15x), where the temperature spikes for about 15-30 minutes and then cools down.
My air Cooler is Dark Rock Pro 5 (bequiet) at nearly full speed!
