Liquid metal cooling my laptop... You will not believe how fast it runs now!

[@samad7836]

I believe they went with nickel plated because with only copper overtime the liquid metal get "absorbed" and it'll need a repaste

[@Rimzler]

Very true! Copper gets soaked and needs repaste

[@maddisman]

@@Rimzler The copper should get saturated after reapplying a time or two though, so in the long run it shouldn't be an issue. Also, according to some statements, creating a foam dam around the die not only helps preventing spills, but also seems to help prolonging the life span of the liquid.

[@wheeler9161]

After initial liquid metal application, it took about a year for it to "dry" up and got over temping. I cleaned the old stuff and re applied and haven't had an issue in years. I think it's cause the initial application created a barrier for the second.

[@muhd.roszaimanrossli9846]

What happen to the temp. before and after?? That's the most important result we want to see.

[@Rimzler]

Temp is lower and clock is higher, i should have posted the results in the video

[@muhd.roszaimanrossli9846]

Yes please haha

[@muhd.roszaimanrossli9846]

I also apply liquid metal to my laptop but I put both XD. Before and after CPU stress test: 88W 95°C to 82°C INGAME: Heavy both GPU: 84°C to 72°C (150-165W) CPU: 97°C to 88-92°C (40-60W) INGAME: Medium like GTA V GPU: 83°C to 70°C (130-165W) CPU: 89°C to 81-85°C (35-45W)

[@muhd.roszaimanrossli9846]

I think when you use liquid metal at GPU the heat from GPU take all the cooling from CPU that's why ingame the result CPU still got high temp especially when game use a lot of GPU and CPU like Horizon New Dawn.

[@wwk279]

I was tired of laptop's temp always get high 80°C+ even when i play some indie games and 95°C while heavy gaming so i ended up with a tower cooler applied directly to cpu and gpu surface and suprisingly it worked so well temp never pass 70°C while heavy gaming, the tower cooler is very hot when i touch it.

[@Rimzler]

Like a desktop tower cooler? Lol that's not a laptop anymore ahahahaha

[@cv3nda367]

Iam always putting LM into my laptops, right now Ive put it inside my new Legion Slim 5 with i5 13500H and RTX 4050, but the results havent been as Ive expected, like one day I do a stress test, and the CPU still goes to 97°C, then I do the test another day and the temp go only to 86°C, as if the LM had to sort of "sit down". Recently, Ive learned about thermal putty, so Iam gonna use it instead of thermal pads to see if the cooler gonna sit tighter on the CPU/GPU die.

[@Rimzler]

Lm can sip through copper like water, so needs to be reapplied till the copper is saturated

[@J.Wick.]

I just did this exact thing to my Legion 7 Gen5 (10750H/2070Super) Same before as you, even with 2 less cores than the 10875, constant thermal issues from the day I got it. It's still powerful enough to throttle and still hang, but I got tired of not getting full performance. I tried a couple thermal pastes before setlling on LM. None of the pastes helped, maybe a 2-3c drop. With the LM applied I haven't seen it go beyond like 84c now. Clocks are sustained. Just a much better machine now. Wish I'd done it sooner. Just don't apply too much lol...I even put it on the GPU.

[@joniadama6885]

on my Rog Strix Scar g733cx - i9-12950HX, did apply liquid metal on both, cpu and gpu. I must say that CPU temps went down by 25c, factory coverage of LM on chip was very poor.

[@KoshMobile]

Bro, glad that I found your video. I recently got Asus ROG Strix 17 SE (12950HX + 3080ti GPU) and CPU is sitting at 95 C most of the time, even under light loads. I tried everything, but I think they somehow failed with LM application to CPU, so I plan on reapplying it and applying it to GPU too with some extra safety measures. I am curious how your laptop works rn, 10 months in, and how are your thermals :)

[@Kiekerr]

I got a Strix 15 with a Ryzen 5800H, I made sure to disable turbo boost cause it is not always needed in some games. Makes it run way cooler and quieter! And not losing any fps in GPU bound games

[@MW-2019-TROLL]

Get an iets cooler

[@KoshMobile]

I removed factory Liquid Metal and applied it on my own, now temps are way better. Its Asus's horrible quality control.

[@Kiekerr]

@@KoshMobile Did you also put LM on the GPU? Did u have to prepare the surface around?

[@KoshMobile]

@@Kiekerr Yeah, I changed LM on GPU. I found out that my gpu is already with LM on it when cracked laptop open. So it was prepared, with foam lm capturers, and everything but chip hidden behind finisher. Looking on how LM was everywhere around I wouldnt recommend putting LM on laptops unless they are properly prepared by it by either manufacturer or owner.

[@xxafthabxx9346]

What about those VRMs not sure if that's what they are called( those black cubes) around the GPU which had thermal paste? are we supposed to re-paste them too?

[@صهيبسالم-ي5م]

No they have their own type of thermal paste so it's best to leave the factory one on be careful to not touch the pads when removing the heatsink

[@Rimzler]

If you mess up the blue stuff is not as bad as if you mess up thermal paste, but of course reapplying is better if deformed

[@c4nchi]

The big ones around the GPU are the Vram modules, the smaller ones are the VRM.

[@ssss-xt3dk]

Hi can you tell what is the max rpm of fans of this laptop under full load

[@ryanthurman92]

@@saadhussain6514 dude actually amazing. I did redo it over and over about 5 times to learn the right amount. But 20c lower on average on cpu. 10c lower on gpu. My zephyrus rates top 90th percentile for like builds on performance. And for safety purposes considering it’s conductivity. I used clear nail polish over the contact points over the sides of the die of the GPU and after applying the Liquid Metal to the dies. I used normal thermal paste on the far outside of the gpu chip not on the metal on the plastic to create a barrier to prevent any leaks. The CPU I didn’t have to do this with as it was designed for Liquid Metal and has its own barrier designed into it with some fabric that prevents seepage. I couldn’t recommend it more. I did it so many times to get an idea of how to do it best and safest and just how much to apply. Lots of people say to apply the Liquid Metal to the die and heatsink. I did that the first time. The last time I did not. And there are no differences in temps between the two ways in my experience. I honestly feel you’re safer doing just the die as you don’t have as much Liquid Metal used and therefore less risk of it leaking out and damaging other components.

Hello, thank you for your guidance and hints. I want to ask that how long does it take since you buy this laptop? I agree that thermal paste was bad condition. However there is a belief that liquid metal thermal paste (LM) has endless lifespan. Is it true? What are you thinking about that. Since LM's are used on laptops, thermal conditions get well. laptops come with LM, already comes with good processor insulation on motherboard. I believe that some home users should be more brave to reapply this LM :). Thanks. (LM) (LM)

[@bryanwashere5010]

So apparently the problem of liquid metal seeping out from between the contact points is not limited to aftermarket applications. I think if you plan to use liquid metal in a laptop, you better not carry that laptop around much and when you do decide to carry it, you should let it cool down completely first. The liquid metal moving out onto the mobo is usually what kills the device and not improper installation. Liquid metal is not worth the risk in a portable application.

[@KunyangJiang]

Can I choose to immediately replace liquid metal with silicone grease after buying a new computer?

[@cv3nda367]

Ive used LM in 4 laptops that Ive been carrying all the time, and never had a problem, but its still something to be careful about. Right now, I plan to use thermal putty instead of thermal pads, and I will also use it to seal the CPU/GPU dies.

[@thenotred]

You should repaste the VRAM tho but I've seen worse

[@firkafirkus8217]

But 4 V rams u need another type of paste dont use cpu/gpu paste

[@contorta960]

My xps 15 7590 hits 99 - 101° on some cores during fortnite. Lol. This is with a fan pad, max internal fan curve. Even with an undervolt when that was possible. Repasted with thernal grizzly paste not metal. Would love to try liquid metal but can't risk it, cant get a new laptop if i break it so yeah. Its amazing how capable laptops are though. I also play Deus Ex, an incredibly poorly optimized and thus demanding game but on low settings get a solid and playable 50fps. 4k display, reduce to 1080 and yeah she plays. I only wish I'd been in the market now. If I'd got the latest XPS rtx4060 with the vapor chamber, I'd be stoked! As always i rush ahead and screw myself. Gtx 1650 vs an rtx 4060 - 80.. vapor chamber options. Can only dream

hi you need to limit processor to 99% Right click the Start menu and select Control Panel. Click Hardware and Sound. Select Power Options.

Hello Rimzler, I am very curious on trying liquid metal. how is your LM application on your laptop today? Also, I would like to know how it looks or any situation to take note since I also wanted to try it on my old laptop and will mostly carry it everywhere I go. Hoping for your response. Thanks!

[@Rimzler]

Still using it to edit videos on, still runs cool and I'm satisfied! Be sure to avoid spilling and maybe dam the surrounding area to prevent shortcircuits, remove battery when doing it

[@L4ZYJ]

​@@Rimzler Good to hear! Actually, I applied LM last night and the application went well, heck yeah! However, results were not that worth it which is expected. So.... *Lesson of the day: * *LM is not worth applying on laptops without custom fan profiles. * Since these laptops' fan levels ramps up only with certain temperatures. Pros: - my laptop run cooler on idle and normal use. In fact, and surprisingly, the fans is not spinning or runs slower than usual. - 3%-5% performance boost (LM is definitely a factor aiding my undervolted profile on achieving higher clock speed while throttling due to the crap fan system.) - theoretically, longer battery life, since the fans runs slower if not idle. Cons: Nothing much actually. just... effort not worth it, after all the shebangs. The whole process makes you anx. I don't think that the LM will leak out or move around much since, i found out that less LM is more than enough to help the heatsink absorb heat faster. just apply little/enough amount on contact points and ur good. Unit: UX333 (Zenbook 13) i5-8250u + mx150 (10w, bruh what a deal breaker.) That's all, hope this helps other to save their time and resources. Enjoy laptop life!!

[@Rimzler]

On my laptop i managed to create a custom profile that spins the fans 100% when temps go above 40c so it stays always super cool

I know that you can undevolt some computers from the bios it self, yet others you can’t.
