Excellent! Just applied some Honeywell PTM 3180 and am seeing a reduction of 10 to 15 degrees C in resting temperatures after starting my framework laptop (13 inch, i5 1240P, 64 GB DDR4 3200). Definitely wished I had done this sooner, is going to hopefully resolve the overheating issues I was getting with thermal paste.
Here is a photo of my application before putting the heatsink back on:
Here is a link to an LTT video that shows how to apply the thermal pads:

Is definitely a welcome alternative and something to try before upgrading to an AMD mainboard, as it’s a lot cheaper.
P.S. Am aware that PTM 3180 is not the same as PTM 7950, was having some trouble sourcing the latter, but am still getting significant improvements over thermal paste such as Arctic MX-4 and even Arctic MX-6.
