that is amazing ..what are temps before and after using these modifications ?

I can't say that exactly. I've gone from air cooling to water cooling straight to liquid metal.

The Kryosheet is almost as good as the liquid metal.

TFX will only help you maintain your hotspot due to pump out. Your GPU not having contact could be something else. Make sure you're using the correct thickness thermal pads and screw the block down evenly then tightening it around the die in a criss cross manner. TFX will definitely maintain your hotspot for many years to come. I've not torn my card for over a year now and they are the same as the first day I installed it.

You might want to check if you're using the correct thermal pad thickness if you're not having proper GPU die contact.

what about
PTM7950
is it better than TFX?

No idea about that. I have used TFX and it worked very well until today. I don't have an AMD card so I won't know the thickness of the pads. I'm only sharing my experience with TFX after tearing down my card more than 5 times previously to fix the creeping hotspot. Only TFX has stood the test of time. Hope this helps.

i think this card hotspot will not be fixed ...this card is really crap and i do not know how to lower its hotspot temp

Guys! you have to remember that the hot spot doesn't come only from core and that is why is so difficult to fix it permanently. Hot spot comes from die and VRAM. You can put TFX on the die and if the pads on VRAM melt enough to lower its height, the heat will either accumulate underneath because the pad is to low or pads are to high to begin with and paste eventually lower itself due to heat and is the same effect..High hot spot.

This is so difficult to fix, even manufacturers can't, so ultimately when you do it and TFX is definitely the best paste, eventually goes back to high temps regardless, just a matter of whether this will happen within days, weeks or months, but it will happen.

When I did my Strix 3090 for the # of time I finally got the hot spot to stay at 14C for I think almost a year which is best I made thus far, but I know it will degrade sooner or later.

i did not get it crealy .but i think if the contact between gpu die and heat sink is good the hotspot will be low ..the card has many hotspots as hwinfo shows ..the hottest one is GCD . MCD is always low
i really do not know why ?

Yes, hot spot might be lower, at least for a while, but then junction might shoot up. I don't know if AMD's work the same, might be different due to chiplets, but on NVIDIA's cards that's how it works.

Sry hotspot dont mix with VRAM

Sorry. Yes, hot spot comes from both, core and VRM's not VRAM, my bad.
What I explain above still applies that not having perfectly balanced pads on VRM's and VRAM will contribute to high hot spot temperatures regardless of which paste is used. What TFX will do better opposed to other pastes is to stay on the die without pumping out, shifting due to extreme heat when dealing with high watt and just generally won't degrading as quickly.
