4090 liquid metal on core - is there a sponge type shim protector you can buy ????

[ViRuS2k]

Just looking to put my ek vector2 on my strix oc 4090 soon and wanted to know as im using the card vertical mount i want to protect the core from liquid metal dripping
you know how the ps5 has liquid metal and it has that sponge thing that goes directly around the core.....
can you purchase something like that for the 4090 core, would be easier protection i think compared to using tape or nail varnish or is it even worth liquid metaling the 4090 and just using normal paste.....

Not worth it imo, especially since EK blocks aren’t the best performing anyway.

@9:24 shows what asus uses on it’s 4090 to protect the core.

yeah but where to get that what they use hahaha, ill probably just stick to using thermal paste + more safer lol as i use to use liquid metal when i had the horizontal gpu but now i have vertical and i dont want it dripping on something lol

You are better off using Honeywell TPM7950 - non conductive and performs better than paste. Using LM is not worth the risk

Hi pal where can i buy this stuff in the uk ? and genuine not fake, seems this stuff has a habit of turning up as a fake to your doorstep lol

You could get some conformal coating and treat the components that would be lower than the core when the card is mounted. So even if there is some leakage the smd parts would be protected.

I think the safest place would be moddiy, unfortunately there is no retail seller in the UK
