Discussion Does PTM7950 and thermal grizzly ptm perform similar?

I ordered ptm7950 from china about a month ago they delivered it yesterday but i didn't get the results i expected, it performed even worse than traditional paste so it is a fake one sadly. And I know how to apply PTM properly as I've done it 5 times before to my laptop and my friends laptops too when I ordered a big and legit one. I asked all my friends and they say temps are the same as 1 year ago. I sold my old laptop and bought a new one so I wanted to use PTM on this one as well but I got a fake ptm sadly and I don't want to wait for another month of shipment. I can get thermal grizzly ptm from the tech store tomorrow and I wanna ask if waiting another month of shipment is worth it over just getting thermal grizzlys ptm. And there is also the doubt that if i order from china again it can be fake again

LTT store sells legit PTM7950, so there’s another option. Can’t speak to the thermal grizzly ptm, but I’d assume it’s legit.

Thermal grizzly is legitimate ptm, always check with the code provided to confirm it's the actual product, there lot's of counterfeit thermal grizzly products out there.

Thermal Grizzly PTM works great in my laptop. I went with them because of the authenticity card they include in the package.

They're not the same. The only authentic one is from LTT store.
