Liquid metal on Ryzen IHS

[the wopster]

What is peoples thinking on using liquid metal on Ryzen IHS’s? With the temperature spikes of Ryzen chips and the obvious pulling the chip out of the socket, would using LM be beneficial due to it’s better heat transfer and not sticking to the chip

I don't think it will make much of a difference to temps as the bottleneck seems to be between the chiplet and the IHS itself.

waste of time for aplying LM on CPU unless you are looking at direct die cooling..
