SUMMARY

1. DON'T BOTHER WITH NH-T1

It dried under two weeks of usage and the thermal paste I said I won't even bother covering because it was so bad the Corsair TM 30, was better than this. The CPU is barely going over 67W where it was going over 75W with long term usage. To give you an idea the 14700HX on LOQ runs at 95W at sustained load with a proper thermal paste like the PTM.

Also, I am not going to bother with NH-T2 also.

2. Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad: Inconclusive

Since I didn't order the right width of thermal pads, anything to say about the same is inconclusive and no results can be drawn from it. I already ordered a new thermal paste and thermal pad and the results of the same will be uploaded on the tech blog soon.

Thermal Pad: Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad

Thermal Pad→ Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 0.5 mm (Was not thick enough): Amazon India, MD Computers India.

Thermal Pad→ Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 1 mm (Should be enough for LOQ 2024): Amazon India, MD Computers India.

Note: I ordered from MD Computers India due to Thermal Grizzly’s own website recommending it. I wanted to buy it from Amazon but I couldn’t find any sellers that I recognized and didn’t want to risk having a bad product so I went with what the manufacturer(Thermal Grizzly) recommended themselves.

Thermal Pastes:

Noctua NH-T1 Amazon India: (Clicktech Retail Private Ltd Seller Only)        → Currently Applied

Note: The previous applied thermal paste just a few days ago was Corsair TM30 which wasn’t good enough and hence I didn’t bother covering it. You can see the details in this post.

Conditions

All tests were done with Custom Extreme mode and when GPU tests bugged out due to Vantage (where it was limited to only 80W), I changed custom mode settings manually for the highest performance.

Temperatures are about 20 degrees and RH 66%, it’s cold here. So good weather.

Please keep all questions to the video itself. DMs for the same will not be entertained.

Note: Maybe the blob for the GPU wasn’t a good idea as it had to be a cross and maybe this is the reason for high memory temperatures as you will see below.
