How To Replace Thermal Paste HP245 G8 PTM7950 Upgrade makes it much cooler
🔥 HP 245 G8 Thermal Upgrade: HUGE Temp Drop with Honeywell PTM7950! (Installation & Benchmarks)
Is your HP 245 G8 laptop running hot and throttling? The minimal cooling solution on this chassis can be a headache! In this comprehensive how-to video, we show you the step-by-step process of replacing the thermal compound with a premium, long-lasting solution: the Honeywell PTM7950 Phase Change Thermal Pad.

We'll guide you through the full teardown of the HP 245 G8 (similar to many other models with the same chassis), clean the old thermal paste, apply the PTM7950 pad, and then put it all back together.

But does it actually work? We run pre- and post-application benchmark tests using Cinebench R23 to see the difference. You'll be amazed by the significantly lower temperatures (up to 20°C drop!) and the boost in performance scores (over 400 points increase!) after the PTM7950 has properly set!

If you want better cooling, lower operating temperatures, and increased performance from your HP laptop, this is the upgrade for you!
