Anyone use Collabatory Liquid Pro with their D14?

Not on a D14, but used liquid ultra with an alpenfohn k2. Temps below comparing the liquid ultra and the stock alpenfohn paste.

Liquid ultra.

Alpenfohn paste.

I5 3570k @4.5ghz, 1.3100 vcore in bios, k2 is fitted with dual akasa vipers. Not a massive drop like some have got. Probably not helped by my case front air intake being pretty poor.

Setter: 2C-3C is still a pretty good drop.. Though i have heard of people getting 8-10C

MOOGLEYS: Your getting rid of the prodigy? What case are you going back to?

True, seen a few on here get 10c + just by using it on the ihs. A lot more if the cpu is delidded and the stock intel "putty" is replaced. Pretty strange stuff to work with too, like a gloopier form of mercury.

Want to use it, just worried about long term usage?

Have read it stains the cpu IHS so could invalidate CPU warranty?

Ive heard that too, and it can stain the base of the cpu cooler. Ive been reccomended on here to use a metal polish to clean the heatsink up. Though tbf, ive used other pastes in the past that have stained a little, or removed the data printed on the ihs. Main thing with it is to avoid any contact with aluminium, and remove the cpu from the socket when applying it.
