Amazing dedication to apllication! Thanks

[@SidneyCritic]

In game consoles they cut a sponge to fit around the die that seals between the chip PCB and the heatsink, that way it's less likely to spill sideways and short stuff because it's trapped. Every interface is a thermal barrier, and even though you are reducing one interface, it can mean the heatsink can get saturated quicker, ie, it could reach the same thermals, it just takes longer.

[@OnStageLighting]

And on the PS5, the liquid metal can run to the bottom side of the die and the console overheats! :-)

[@SidneyCritic]

@@OnStageLighting Yeah I think that was TronicsFix's last PS5 vid, ie, ie, someone dropped the PS5 so hard the liquid-metal slipped under the sponge and shorted the die.

[@charlesballard5251]

I watched a few vids on Liquid Metal and built a new computer 2 weeks ago in which I utilized Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut LM. I have to admit I think I used a bit more than you did. I put a layer on the CPU heatspreader, I put another on the contact plate of the cooler, then I put a drop dead center of the CPU heatspreader thinking it would sit there and spread out as it compressed between the CPU and the Cooler, but NOPE!!!! It flowed outward and pooled with the rest of the LM on the heat spreader. Fine by me. I have hardly stressed the thing yet, but it is definitely running quieter than the computer it replaced. Great video.

[@kkrolik2106]

To use liquid metal properly you need electroplate copper with nikiel first otherwise it will react overtime with heat-sink and temps go up and need reapply again.

[@julianboyd8719]

You generally only need to apply it once more and it lasts for years.

[@frontman2680]

Your tip about making sure that the liquid metal should not be a floating bubble is been very useful and ill take that to mind just to be safe. But i recently saw a video on yt by Asus ROG liquid metal application and they used a robot arm and had spread the same kind of thin liquid metal coating like you did. But the confusing part was, the fact that it also has added two additional liquid metal drops on each side of the die and it actually appeared floating. I dont know what they did next but they definitely used a lil much of it so i wonder, did they do that because the particular laptop was made to actually hold that volume of liquid? Or was that a bad mistake?

[@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU]

When I was applying too little like here in this video (at least in my opinion its too little, and from experience as well but hard to be sure from video), the difference (like probably in this video) I saw was that I was pretty much comparing old crappy dried up factory thermal paste versus not so much LM (liquid metal). When I did the same on my GTX 970 from MSi (they actually were using quite well lasting thermal paste in there I have come to learn, so nothing that would quickly dry up in 2 years) and I applied the LM in similar imo sparse amount, I didnt see almost no difference at all. The difference was like pathetic 1-2°C in a very controlled bench tests with fans set to like constant 60 or 70% like usual. I knew something wasnt right because the difference was pathetic, you can either deduct that from hundreds of other videos on LM or from just thermal conductivity specifications of paste vs LM alone. So I went ahead and opened the 970 again, I cleaned the LM off, what isnt easy at all and you have to be careful not to spread it all over the pcb (masking tape and plastic wrap foil helps a ton so you dont spread it all over the pcb). I then used nail polish to protect the little pins around the gpu die, I used 2 layers, 15 minutes natural drying, then 5 minutes with hair dryer at hot temperature but not too hot, I kept my fingers in there near the gpu die so the temp is bearable. That is drying per layer, also making the second layer a bit more broad covering more area than the first one. Then I applied the LM again now applying a bit more of it so its more watery and THEN the results finally made sense, I was getting around 8-9 degrees of difference in the bech tests on the same fan setting, so almost 10°C. My understanding of this is that when you are applying the LM, the actual shiny non-watery parts arent really rich in LM, its mostly like a thin smudge of the liquid metal. When you place the cooler on it, it creates connections but it might not cover the whole cpu or gpu die, maybe it fully connects only like 40 to 50% of it, maybe more if you're lucky. That is if you aim not to have it too watery on either of the sides, so neither the cpu/gpu die nor the cooler. Since that experience of mine (and believe me I probably botched a lot of LM application before that) I now always insulate the near pins with either acrylate nail polish (regular stuff) or now mostly with a pcb insulating compound, what is essentially still a form of an acrylate varnish but its theoretically more temperature resistant, tho I never had any issue with nail polish so far and I encourage people to contact me if anything at all happens with the laptop or gpu or delided cpu. And I now also as I already mentioned put a bit more of the LM material in there, probably similar to the video you saw, in which it wasnt a mistake in case they insulated the contacts near the cpu/gpu die. Additionally I would like to also mention that its also important (to get better results) to saturate the copper with LM, or to damage the top plating of the cooler or cpu/gpu die with the LM prior to installation, then wipe the material off and scrub it really well. The more you leave the bit of LM in there to react, the better, then scrub it off, and then it should be ready for final real application. The copper should look smudgy and dirty (saturated with LM) and nickel plating or gpu/cpu die should look smudgy and damaged as well. This just removes the top layer for better performance/ better contact between the surface and the LM. You basically just use a tiny bit of LM on surfaces and let it sit there for half a day then scrub it off real well, obviously without installing it. Then you apply it for real and install, after cleaning it off, but this process is a bit more advanced, but it would explain why some people have better results the second time they re-apply the LM after a few years (what I never do unless I notice performance drop).. My personal longest experience with this (in use today) is 7700K delided and 1080 Ti. Both have nail polish, both had top layers broken in with LM prior to real application and both had a bit more of it applied. I still keep my benchmark specs and notes so I can test it as similarly as possibly to see if there is any performance degradation and so far now in like 5-6 years I am still getting more or less almost exactly the same results. I just assume it doesnt degrade in way (like many people say it shouldnt) and I also assume the nail polish is still in a good shape as well as I am almost positive it spilled over a bit to the sides.

[@nguyentrandinhkhoi7319]

its not a mistake, if u already disassembly asus rog gaming laptop u can see some materials like silicone around the cpu to prevent the liquid mental to spill out.

[@mailow81]

Liquid metal is little dangerous without some protecion layer. Better start witth undervoling with Throttlestop app to deacrease temp (due to thermal throttling) and then , If you want to be safe with non conductive thermal , I recomend use for gaming laptop honeywell ptm 7950 pad. It has better performance than other paste (MX, Thermal Grizzly, etc.)

[@Hardey-li6eb]

I did hear you can add like 2 solid layers of nail polish to resistors on cpu and gpu for more protection against short made by liquid metal. I dont know exactly which one nail polish it is,because i hear some are diferent. I will very high recommend you,to use something to protects all of those resistors on your gpu.

That's if your cooling bottleneck is bad fan exhaust. But if it's dried out thermal paste it's not gonna make a difference.

[@harrydijkstra9936]

I switched to Honeywell 7950PTM Phase change thermal material on hot laptop and GPU DIE's because regular easy spread paste pumps out especially on 80+ degrees celsius. The only downside with phase change is that you have to let the paste/pad cure for 2 hours before placing the heatsink. Long term stability of liquid metal takes a lot of prepare time on copper heatsinks.

[@p0tat0es_nation64]

I tried that on my RX 5700xt GPU but after few months temps are getting worse. I think that I will try liquid metal because I tried many pastes and they all pumped out.

[@kushfromhandsworth6601]

I watched this video when it came out. the liquid metal worked tremendously for a few months but as of now its degraded to reaching almost 100 degrees celsius. I think there was someone else who commented on the video mentioningn that this was a possibility. It does work amazzing while it does but be prepared for reaplying it every few months. The video is still great im just sharing my experience.

[@ikuma8291]

is your heatsink copper or nickel plated? I understood that with copper heatsink the liquid metal eats into the copper. after many reapplications of liquid metal the copper gets "soaked" with it and wont dry the liquid metal out anymore. going to first try with PTM 7950 thermal solution as it seems to last longer, 2-3 year. basically its like a sheet of thermal paste but at over 40c temps it liquidizes and act like liquid metal. phase changing material

[@kushfromhandsworth6601]

Yes it is actually.. Upon reading your comment I actually reapplied it again because i am getting like 2 cpus out of 8 like almost a whole 10 degrees hotter than the other. i can never seem to get the figures i initially got but it is still close. Ive finished a whole gram after all the reapplications. I was dangerously generous this time though. The lmk does just stain the copper it crusts a bit aswell so maybe that will cause some unleveling. Please let me know how your PtM 7950 goes.@@ikuma8291

[@dariobarisic3502]

It's normal to happen. Galium diffuses to copper heatsink so less liquid metal is bridging the die and the heatsink. And yes, that means you have to reapply it soon. The good news is that galium diffusion will slow down considerably over time and after first 2-3 applications you won't have to do more applications that often. My laptop has great thermals (61-63°C under full load) even 2 years after my last LM application.

[@earth32216]

sorin can i use electric tape on the components outside the cpu ? because incase if the liquid metal spills out i dont want a short .

[@dariobarisic3502]

You can apply 2-3 layers of nail polish. Let the 1st layer dry before applying the second, etc. You can add electric tape on top of that if you want but the crucial part is to avoid the overlaps. You don't want electric tape to overlap because that might cause gpu/cpu die to not get proper contact with the heatsink (i.e. hestsink will contact the electric tape that overlaps more than the gpu/cpu die).

[@adrianmedina7065]

Hi. I have a pre-owned Dell Inspiron 15 7567. It worked fine During the first 3 days of owning it until Dell Update software popped a notification about a latest Bios version 1.15.0 and latest Intel ME Software update of which I updated. It rebooted and firstly, Upgraded Bios from version 1.8.1 to 1.15.0 then it started upgrading Intel ME firmware. After that update, my laptop shuts down without notice (Like thermal shutdown) I checked Thermal Paste on the processor and the Graphics Chip and it was dry. Replacing thermal paste has not helped me. Now I've noticed that laptop shuts down in less than a minute when the charger is connected while playing mp3 only, but when running on the battery alone, it's working fine without shutting down until I run games then fan will run fast and laptop suddenly shuts down. Please help me with information that can make me solve this problem.

[@ikuma8291]

hi did you get the dell to work? just few tips: try reset the bios. monitor temps when it shuts down. does the mosfets, vram etc have thermal pads on them?

[@jodduck6809]

To be honest I wouldn't be looking at clock speeds, rather I would be looking at power (watts), since that is the metric of heat flow and it will give a better picture of performance between different thermal pastes (°C for given power wattage), furthermore the software "intel dynamic tuning" is programmed by the laptop manufacturers which sets long term and short term power limits which often skewers these types of tests because whenever the processor uses turbo it takes out power from the long term "pool", and you see this effect when the processor power drops to 40ish Watts after a period of time and the temperature generally settles lower, i think you started the gpu stress test on the second run when the power on the cpu settled on this lower power level, if you activated both simultaneously at the start the temperature would spike higher. Also even though MX paste is good there are better ones out there like kryonaut, the temperature difference between those two is much smaller (conductonaut and kryonaut) Lastly people often replace the paste with liquid metal and see no difference at all because there are other bottlenecks in the cooling solution, and this is simply because of either heatpipe power limitations, airflow rate of the fan or the heatspread size.

[@electronicsrepairschool]

Well, everyone has an opinion, i respect that, i can be wrong , but the cpu benchmark software is not wrong, the laptop gained 1000 points on the benchmark, this says a lot

[@jodduck6809]

@@electronicsrepairschool oh yes in this case you are right you have improvement of at least 5°C but I was thinking in general a lot of people might not see such an improvement because of other bottlenecks, also if you compared it to kryonaut paste the difference is likely to be much less.

[@SingularityRS]

I didn't want to risk putting liquid metal on my laptop because it seemed to suffer from paste pump out issues. Normal paste just never lasted long (maybe few days to a few weeks if I'm lucky). It started out great and over time I saw the CPU creeping its way back to the 90C region. When I removed the heatsink, the paste would always be pushed out to the sides and was barely covering the actual die. I was afraid liquid metal would end up pumping out in similar fashion, so never tried to apply it. Fortunately, I heard about some phase-change pad called "Honeywell PTM9750". It takes a while to get because it comes from China, but wow, it made a difference. I wasn't expecting much, but since putting that pad on, I haven't encountered CPU overheating problems like before. I added the pad several months ago and the CPU temperature is still doing good. For those that don't want to use liquid metal because of the risk, the Honeywell PTM9750 is something to try if you can get hold of it. It seems awesome for the long-term. I would always have to keep changing pastes often with normal pastes. That doesn't seem to be a problem any more.

maybe it's not a good idea to do it on a raw cooper heat sink,, i have tried myself years ago two times. in a windows of 3 to 9 month the galium and indium will react to the cooper and stop working propelly (seems to separate). at the time i have found an interisting forum post about it but it's gone now. and i don't talk about aluminium kind of reaction, you will can recover you're heatsink from it. nikel plated cooper is better for those things. let's see if you will have this issue in the next future.

I STG I was messing with 12600k bios settings BLCK ovc or something I press control shift esc to see cpu speed it said 6+ghz I STG it went to like 6.7 ghz down to 6.4 changing I immediately shut my pc off to turn off all the settings I have a 240mm aio and I thought I was gonna break my cpu

I prep the PCB with non-conductive electrical glue around the chip (when working on delidder CPU) or around the ihs on AMD or certain Intel boards and haven't had an issue. Prep work let's you get what is advertised for the components you purchase without risk.

You're ignorant if you only base your judgment from the temperature difference alone. 🤦‍♂️

Finally listening to someone who knows how to say ALUMINIUM, and not some american telling ALUMINUM 😂

Sorin Liquid metal in any case should not be used with copper. Both react chemically with each other and solid crystals are formed. These press into the silicon core and the CPU or GPU die. I have seen this several times myself with our customers. Our conclusion: Liquid metal does not belong in a mobile device. Unless you do it like Asus. A silicone frame around the CPU silicon core and a coated cooler that does not react chemically with liquid metal.

[@adamvebaloisnotavailable]

That's not true. I've watched many videos on that. Copper is the best material with liquid metal. There is a reason why all the water cooling blocks are made with copper, and those manufacturers usually consider the liquid metal cooling too. It's specifically designed like that.

[@xXREDHEAD93Xx]

As stated: Manufacturers, that design their devices using liquid metal also nickelplate the copper since it is a known issue, that copper also gets corroded by liquid metal. (Sony and ASUS for example) @@adamvebaloisnotavailable

The cooling of the MAC laptops is simply a joke, I remember how many made fun of it at the time e.g. Rossmann. That's why I would never buy Apple products, either that is absolute incompetence or intentionally, there is no other explanation.

[@ml_serenity]

Says "put just a little bit of liquid metal to GPU and CPU" and proceeds putting a LOT of liquid metal onto the heatsink side... :) Also you really want to isolate the components on the GPU and CPU dies using nail polish or something before applying liquid metal...

[@DM-eq3uq]

Have you put on liquid metal on a copper Heatsink? It will eat it away

[@dennismmm]

copper is ok

[@hadifelani]

Staining it and eating it away are two completely different things. 🤦‍♂️

It is a bad idea to put Liquid Metal on copper. 😱

Ow haha is there Galium in there? Yeah that will eat your aluminium.

The pretty golden metal is called copper. Cheers buddy

What IS liquid metal? Gallium, a name brand?...

Meh... My temps are horrible with LM. Definitely changeing back to paste, this is ridiculous, it runs at like 75° in idle. "10x better" yeah sure, but not in this reality. lol
