Ordered some of this on Tuesday, arrived today so fast service from OC.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Coollaboratory Liquid Pro Liquid Metal Thermal Paste £8.99
Total : £8.99 (includes shipping : Ex.VAT).



I decided to run a before and after comparison of temperatures, before I was using Arctic MX-4 which has always been my go to paste (mainly because I had a lot of it.) CPU is 2600k @ 4.4Ghz.

After running prime 95 for 15 mins on the MX-4 I was getting peak temps of about 62C.
Now with the Liquid Pro after running for as long (and much longer) I've seen a peak of 55C and CPU still running is currently sitting at 52C.

I have to say this a massive improvement, I always felt that I haven't been getting the cooling I should for the amount of rad space I have. Its been at 4.4Ghz for a long time now and has been reseated with MX-4 and MX-2 a few times with this setup but temps have always been the same.

I couldn't get the perfect finish on it like the instructional youtube video shows, however the lint free cotton bud that came with it had more lint than the cheapy buds work get in. Had I known that I would have ordered some lab swabs from RS.

There's also plenty left over for future use. I did have a dust after that pic too...
 
7o difference from just the paste...is that likely?
i was just going to use the paste which came with the nh-d15, i understood there couldn't be that much of a difference between pastes.....
 
If you look at the thermal conductivity for it, its over 10 times most pastes. I feel its improbable its a fluke as I've reapplied the paste on the system a few times before this this no improvement.

Will try it on the GFs system later.

Also the rads were all dusted out the day before, hence all the dust in the case.

There isn't much difference between conventional pastes, but liquid pro/ultra are much better than normal stuff. 7c is about what id expect. But it is harder to apply, very conductive and much harder to clean off.
 
I do like the way its applied though as you know you have a good even coverage before putting the heatsink on
 
For sure that's what I've read since, need to get one and tempted to order some liquid ultra to get it. I could find one on ebay but 90% of the time it'll fall apart after first use.

Also i gently ran a pin through it to make sure there were no fibers
 
I find hte cotton bud really easy to do, but i gotta admit the first time i applied it i had a hidden strand of cotton in there, i had real high temps untill i found it.

Can't really clean it off unless you sand it off isn't it? I thought it bonds to Aluminium IHSs
 
It can be totally removed using an isopropyl jet wash, and if used on aluminum it will destroy it. Vast majority of cpu heatsinks are nickel plated copper so no issues there.
 
so if your heat sink stays attached for life of pc...(no need to clean) and your heatsink isnt aluminium, and you want a max cpu overclock, and youve got the patience and tools to apply it properly ...then this is hands down the ONLY thermal paste you should be using?
if so for 8.99 and 7o lower its got to be worth it?
 
Your IHS most likely isn't though. I don't know how CPU warranties work with that. Last time I used it on an AMD CPU I had to use some metal scrub to get it off.
 
It doesn't stay attached to the cpu. I used it several times on one cpu I had. Great stuff but the hassle of cleaning it off was the worst part. Some people just sandpaper the cooler base and cpu ihs to remove it. But on the cpu this invalidates the warranty. Its the paste of choice for those who delid Ivybridge and haswell cpu's. Clu on the die can lead to temp drops of 20c.
 
The new thermal Grizley paste Roman has helped develop for Caseking is almost this level of performance and totally non conductive. Look out for this one as soon as we get stocks.

+1 on this. i've a some of this and it is amazing! really easy to clean off and the temps are crazy. i have been able to run nearly 1.6v through an fx8320 and phenom ii x6 1055T on air with it! :cool:

How did you get it, can't find it anywhere?
 
We gave some out at Overclocking event Jumper attended its not retail yet.

Yes very easy to clean off, spread, nob conducting and no cracking drying out or issues on LN2.

Roman tested 200+ paste formula to produce this one. Its the only paste I am using now.
