Shouldn't you have put some clear varnish around the core because liquid metal is conductive if it runs at all?

I've done quite a few now and never had a problem, due to its properties it will only run if you apply too much. You literally want a smear across the entire die and then remove any and all excess.

Hit some instability last night while gaming so dialled back to 5.3Ghz at the same volts, may need to increase the ring voltage again but I'll have a play over the weekend to see if I can stabilize it. Temps are really good at the minute, graphics card generally hovers around 40c boosting to 2050Mhz+.

Decided to upgrade to hardline and make a few changes to everything, should be able to finish it of Wednesday after work. If I was to stick it on a famous auction site what do you think would be a fair price?

Some bits come earlier than planned so managed to start bleeding it, overall I'm happy but there are a couple of bends that aren't perfect but for a first attempt I dont think it's too bad.

Arty shot taken with my DSLR, really happy with the way it's turned out.

cracking build- fluid looks like it matches your speakers

Thanks, that was the aim but the fluid is a bit more vivid, I'll try mixing some white in at some point to get it to match

Minted looking Josh, really sets it off with the hardline, and great job for first attempt.
