My Liquid Metal Experience

[WarDaddy755]

A couple fo weeks ago while rendering a video 100c on my cpu caught my eye, I knew that it was time to do something about it and after a nice research on google I decided to try them all. Undervolting, fan profile and replacing thermal paste, but I still wasn't happy with the results. Then I heard about this magical compound that would drop 10c even on a cleaned system! So, I was like, let's go for it! Today I got my tube and was really happy about it and after applying kapton tape and the lm the temps were even worse than before

I knew something wasn't right therfore opened notebook again and while I was changing the tip 3 tear sized drops landed in my opened notebook, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, one splashed in the gpu, another one in the battery bay another one on the heatsink. Ok, I can fix this, tried to suck the lm back in the tube but popped the plunger out and more lm spilled all over the place

So I unscrewed the tip and slowly pushed the punlger back in the barrel then put the tip back on and sucked in more lm and did this for 30 mins. Surprisingly I didn't loose any lm, anyway after applying more the second time temps were better but not what I expected. Too be sure I didn't put too much I opened it up again one last time and it was all fine.

RESULTS HERE:

The laptop is an msi gt70 barebone from medion.



-0.090v repasted with prolimatech pk-2 twice and fan set to 100% when gpu/cpu hits 80c Also, there is 1c difference when the gpu is not overclocked.




Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut with cpu undervolt and fan set to 100% when gpu/cpu hits 80c

I think that my results aren't that great because the heatsink is not making properly contact with the die.






Well, thanks for reading I hope you had fun and if you have any suggestions let me know!

The contact patch on heatsink looks fine the problem with laptop is CPU and GPU dump into the same heatsink
