Hey, my liquid pro just arrived so i thought ide giv it a blast, so i applied it as per the instructions, seemed to work ok, but at load now my cpu has 1 core running 30 degrees hotter than the other 3, i figured it was just me not spreading it correctly trapping an air bubble or something so i took it off and tried again, and now that core is running the same but another core is running 30 degrees hotter, did anyone else have this problem? Im guessing its just a bit of the cotton from the bud they provide moving around or summat, but before i waste too much of the stuff i just wanna check if anyone else had the same problem, i always apply my AS5 with a credit card so i never had a problem with that, but this stuff is a bit too runny to apply with it.

Ta.
 
30 degree difference with one core isn't right,did you put a thin film over the heatsink? or die if your delidded?

I get a max of around 2-5c on one core difference from the other three

I used the cotton bud like you and no issues
 
yeah im delidded like you coating the die the bottom of the HS and top of it and the bottom of my water block, just rubbing a coat on till its shiny using hte cotton bud like it says in the instructions.

If it worked this way for you ill just clean it off and try again, like i say prolly just a bit of cotton from the bud thats moving around as im smoothing it out.
 
Sorted it, was just a bit of wool, lol this stuff is amazing, running at 1.3v on IBT maximum 58 degrees!!!!!
 
I don't use a cotton bud to spread Liquid PRO.
Problem with cotton buds and similar is the fibers come off.
Instead i use a small plastic scraper, the kind you get with 2 part epoxy's.

Don't use too much, it's amazing how far it spreads once the surface tention on those little metal balls break and it starts to thin out.

Works really well on IVY
Applied correctly the difference in temps on a delidded IVY is huge.

Lets you up the vcore without worry to get real stability, rather than sit on a knife edge with inadequate core voltages.

For those that have used this stuff, how hard is it to remove, and how badly does it stain cooler/waterblock bases?

ive only removed it while it was fresh,not long term but it wiped off for me

ive heard some metal polish like brasso can remove it from heatsink bases but it should come off easily

What I want to know also.

I think I saw a 920 cooler used recently that was lapped after using this stuff. Not really ideal if TIM Cleaner can't get it off! Don't fancy lapping the HSF/Cpu Block after every application.

Anyone got any long term experience?
