Thanks for this video. I have had similar results using this on my long-term laptops, and I did the same thing. Allowed the LM to react with the copper, change it a few times within the first 3-6 months, and then let the LM ride in the laptop and remain liquid. This certainly cleared up any doubts I ever had about my process, and for whatever reason, before this video specifically, I had never been able to find a breakdown this detailed about it. LM is definitely the best way to keep thermals down, and my favorite to use by far. Thanks again!

This guide is absolutely excellent, and the polishing is entirely unnecessary especially in low contact systems, you should not be removing mass from said systems. His additional comments on LM not being scary are warrented, as there is no chance of damage using Thermal Grizzly as it was designed for use on desktop IHS only, and additional use is DIY. To add even more, there are many conformal coatings that work great for SMTs like liquid electrical tape. Finally regarding deliding, using a tool is the safest way, and is very worth it to remove the decaying thermal paste on cpu dies that are over 10 years old now.

This is a phenomenal video. I applied liquid metal to my Steam Deck in 2022 and I got comments from people saying that I applied too much and that it was going to lead to the death of my device - even though I followed every protocol that you did here. I just gifted that Deck to my baby brother while I got the OLED version, and best believe if it ever begins to overheat, then it too will be getting some LM added to it.

@MysteryD Год назад

Just a heads up. First you say not to use an abrasive polish, and then start using the abrasive side of a sponge to clean the copper. While this may be fine for some sponges, there are others out there that are far more abrasive than polyester. Be careful what you're using.

@Kman31ca 9 месяцев назад

All polishers are abrasive as well. But Flitz uses somewhere around 15 000 grit which is around the same for other polishing compounds (some can get up to 30 000 grit). I collect knives and use flitz to get a mirror finish on some knives and it does take material off, just very little at such a high grit that it wouldn't be noticeable or really change dimensions really at all.

Thanks! Very good explination & guide. I've been using Thermal Grizzly's LM for years, it's AMAZING, and my advide is always the same: Isolate SMDs (I use high-temp liquid electrical tape, but TG Shield is fine as well), spread evenly, and PROFIT! Thermal Grizzly's LM single handedly made the i7-7700K worth it back in the day. Delidding it and using LM took the temps down ~20 C, meaning higher, more stable overclocks. I've been using it ever since.

2:33 There was alloy diffusion between gallium (and other metals) and copper. In this way, there will be a better heat transfer between the liquid metal and the copper block. In my opinion, do not remove the gallium in copper! In my opinion, wipe the liquid metal on the processor and copper block with an alcohol swab without pressing too much. Then apply liquid metal over it again. In this way, you will get better results than the temperatures you have achieved before. I've tried, I know what I'm saying.

@alcatrazwarlord3162 2 месяца назад

Awesome guide! Starting from 2023 with so many laptop makers using liquid metal on the CPU side, a new problem called Liquid Metal Shifting arises, as the name describes, some laptop makers have really big gaps between the die and the barrier, and some of the liquid metal shift into the gap, as a result you may see very high temp occurs on specific cores, currently the only fix is to lessen the gaps, or wait 30 min to cool down the laptop and have the liquid metal transform into solid-state, to prevent leakage caused by movement.

@davedipy04 Год назад

You are incredible! Thank you for clearing up all the confusion I've read over the years. I really want to try deliding my 9900k, but really scared to try it. Could you make a more in depth video explaining how to delid a cpu as well as how to replace the ihs with the pure copper one? I'm sure there's a video out there that explains everything but your style is really great.

@TASKEsrb Год назад

Just dont do it. ITs not worth it. For gaming 5600x is better choice and much cheaper and you dont need to cool it. Best option is to sell Cpu and Mobo because it still have pretty good price for used comnponents and buy something newer for same money. I was 9900k fan for a long time but i realized how stupid i was and i moved from that platform and trust me its best thing i have ever done!

@CocoPopsOnFire Год назад

pretty sure 9900k is soldered so you wont see really any improvement delidding it, if you want better performance i would think about lapping the IHS instead

@christopherleubner6633 2 месяца назад

The backing of the CPU die is coated with titanium which is one of the materials that can take gallinstan indefinitely. A while back they had heat exchangers filled with gallinstan for cooling xeon processors in mid range mission critical servers. The cooling blocks were made of copper with a small MHD pump that circulated the gallinstan through the cooling loop. You could blast the cooling block with an actual plubing torch and it would stay cold enough to actually condense water from the flame. The weak point was the driver that turned 5V to 0.1V at several amps to feed the MHD pump with. No big deal, just replacing the mosfet and adding a little extra metal to wick the heat away from it was enough.❤

Just because the liquid metal seems "dry" doesn't mean it stays dry while under a heat load. It will turn back into a liquid.

@LovelyArcticFox-bh4co 5 месяцев назад

Pro tip : You should always have two coats of liquid electric tape/paste. You always want to cover the smallest nooks and crannies plus the overall surface to protect. Also, TG Shield is good but i recommend you use small paint brushes to apply it as the brush that's in the cover is short and slightly large.

I last built a computer in May of 2018. I don't know if LM was available then, but somehow I heard about it while researching my new build. This video was one I watched about 2 weeks ago. I decided to go with LM on my new CPU. I didn't delid it, but I did get some TG Shield (DAMNED EXPENSIVE!!!! And it smells like nail polish as well as looking like it, spreading like it and being sold in a nail polish bottle!!!! I think buying NAIL POLISH would be CHEAPER and just as effective) to spread on the components around the motherboard near the CPU socket. I started the build this past Friday night and gave those components a couple of coats. I let it dry and began my first experience of spreading liquid metal (Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut) on both CPU heat spreader and cooler contact plate. It took some time to get the pressure right but I got it. I also applied a drop to the center of the cpu again before lowering the cooler into place. The drop instantly disappeared, flowing outward into the surrounding LM previously applied. I figured this gave me a nice layer of fluid heat conductor to spread out and minimize gaps. I screwed the cooler down and took a look at the processor edge on from every angle I could. I saw a mirror line between the spreader and the contact plate. I was tired so I went to bed at this point. When I got back to it about 6 hours later, I couldn't tell that there had been any amount of extra leakage from between the two surfaces, but I couldn't tell there hadn't. It had not dripped though. This thing is running fine. And it's one of the quietest computers I've ever heard. Thanks for the vid. It certainly helped. SUBSCRIBED!!!!!

@michalwiktorow2188 8 месяцев назад

Beware - less - is better, the surface to which you've applied it, should be as 'flat' as possible (no surface tension, 'buble' , bulge or anything) that +/-90% guarantees that you did not over-applied it too much. Other than that over-using TG Shield (or any isolation glue/polish) is also great step.

Thanx for that, because I was NOT sure how much paste to apply. I'm also not too sure how TIGHT the heat sink should be, but when I installed a CPU about 5 yrs ago another YT video instructed not too tight, and when I checked it now, the cover was very loose and the thermal paste was not even hard. No wonder my CPU was reaching 94 degrees C. ?!? Now I have to replace an overheated GPU to the tune of almost $400.00. BTW, I am using a 2010 5,1 Mac Pro.

@alexturnbackthearmy1907 6 месяцев назад

Thermal paste not being hard is a very good thing. Hardened paste partially lose its thermal conductivity, so it just wouldnt be as good as it was, but nothing terrible will happen. But loose heatsink is worst, so just screw it as tight as it goes.

Hi - Thank you for the great video - I subliked :) Have you ever tried reheating the liquid metal "residue" removed after the 2 month liquid metal-copper reaction finished or the residue removed after 4 years of liquid metal service to see how it behaves? I'm curious whether the liquid metal becomes less dry and more fluid after application of heat. Could that be the explanation for why, even after 4 years of service, the liquid metal that's never been changed still outperforms any thermal paste out there, regardless of whether or not the liquid metal has been reapplied after 2 months? If the answer to this question is "Yes, the liquid metal does return to a fluid state every time the heat is applied" it means that we don't really need to reapply liquid metal 4 to 8 weeks after first application. Also, have you performed any temperature measurements immediately after liquid metal application and over the 2 month span to see if the temperatures rise after 2 months?

You recommended using non-abrasive polishing paste (wish, BTW, is abrasive, but mildly so) but used the rough green side of the sponge, which is impregnated with rough mineral abrasive media (it is basically a Scotch-Brite scouring pad glue to a yellow polyurethane foam). If you want to clean the copper and maintain its polish, don't use the green side. The paste by itself applied with any cotton rag will do it.

Folks I would not use LM as a CPU cooler interface material. It's fine for delidding where you seal the heatspreader onto the PCB, but that's it. I tried this myself on a GPU and after a couple of years the LM had dried completely, leaving a sparkly dust behind. Thinking the CPU I had applied the LM to at the same time would also have dried, I popped the heatspreader off but that wasn't the case. The LM was still liquid.

Hey, I have a question, are those thermal pads (grey, pink, blue) on the heat dissipators the original ones or did you add them yourself? If so, do you have any recommendations on which should we use for each component or where? Or which brand? Thank you!!

@dhmo__ 9 месяцев назад

Thermal pad thickness is important. That information will be with the seller.

@@dhmo__thank you for replying but you didn't really answer the questions

@dhmo__ 9 месяцев назад

@@gusmaurymain You must measure the thickness of the existing thermal pad and attach it to the same thickness.

Wouldn't those SMD components get overheated isolated like that? Or is it just the silicon thingy that got super hot?

@ValorHederaG 9 месяцев назад

Honestly a question on what you put on the vram, is that pads?

Gently dropping the lm to the mounted cpu Is a good way to spritz half a liter onto the motherboard by accident. Protip put it to a piece of plastic first and pick it up with the qtip

I just came to say I have extremely good results on my alienware x15 r2 with i7 12700 rtx 3070ti My temps very running really hot 107-108c full load After applying liquid metal it goes max to 94 The performance is really high now, went to 14 K cpu performance on 3d mark. Ps3 emulator frame rate is 10frames higher

This is a gold guide on how to do it😊 i was thinking of doing this to my predator triton 500, but i travel alot with the laptop and i am kinda scared it will leak out after some time?

@howfixit Год назад

I also travel a lot and always take my laptop and as you can see from my video, there are no obvious liquid metal leaks on the CPU or GPU

@thefisherman4380 Год назад

@@howfixit i guess as long as you use a little and not to much no harm is done
