[Honeywell PTM7950 Phase Change Thermal Pads/Sheets] Application, Tips, and Results

[Michael_Wu]

@respectable_username and @Adrian_Joachim a general thanks and good info

For relative testing between thermal materials, +1 to this:

@Adrian_Joachim

Set the fanspeed to some fixed value, the thermal limit to some fixed value and the power limit as high as it goes. The run a stress test and record the package power after some determined amount of time (and check it is actually at the thermal limit and not limited by something else, if it isn’t reduce the thermal limit and retry).

Imo that’s a pretty solid way to test relative cooling performance.

and maybe setting the power limit to a fixed value to control for that, as well as accounting for starting temps.

I just created a separate thread and will branch the non-PTM7950 to there to keep things less noisy for others.
