DESCRIPTION
In this ultimate guide, we will show you how to apply liquid metal to your CPU, laptop, GPU, and game console using Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. Liquid metal is an excellent thermal interface material that offers superior heat transfer performance compared to traditional thermal paste. However, it requires careful application, and there are a few things you need to know before using it. We'll also cover the advantages and disadvantages of using liquid metal for CPU and laptop cooling, and how to clean liquid metal from your CPU and copper heatsink without causing any damage. In this video tutorial, we'll cover all the details, so you can apply liquid metal like a pro.

It takes 4 years to make a video & still need another 2 years, what a dedication. Really appreciate it. Btw, how many gram of LM are used to apply for laptop?
-
This is the best video have ever watched and thanks to it I decided to use liquid metal. Now my laptop runs 16 C degrees cooler than before with thermal paste. Thanks a lot!

This is by far and easily the BEST video on liquid metal on any platform. Your video literally covers absolutely everything about liquid metal from FAQs, to application, removal, cleaning, and re-applying. To say this is an outstanding video would be an understatement. I love your channel. Please keep making more wonderful videos.

Just a heads up. First you say not to use an abrasive polish, and then start using the abrasive side of a sponge to clean the copper. While this may be fine for some sponges, there are others out there that are far more abrasive than polyester. Be careful what you're using.

2:33 There was alloy diffusion between gallium (and other metals) and copper. In this way, there will be a better heat transfer between the liquid metal and the copper block. In my opinion, do not remove the gallium in copper! In my opinion, wipe the liquid metal on the processor and copper block with an alcohol swab without pressing too much. Then apply liquid metal over it again. In this way, you will get better results than the temperatures you have achieved before. I've tried, I know what I'm saying.

You are an amazing guy, Excellent job here! couldn't thank you enough for such effort
-
I just found you and you're really good, the video quality, editing, and explanation are clear! It's really underrated... but keep going!
-
Dude, thanks a lot, you solved most my doubts about the liquid metal and delidding
-
Thank's man, you are a dedicated guy, really appreciate and love your videos, awesome
-
Often thought of other pastes or liquids, and found this videos, nice one🎉
-
Very thorough and comprehensive guide. Props.
-
Full boss presentation....well done bros.....now I can apply with confidence thanks to u
-
This is a phenomenal video. I applied liquid metal to my Steam Deck in 2022 and I got comments from people saying that I applied too much and that it was going to lead to the death of my device - even though I followed every protocol that you did here. I just gifted that Deck to my baby brother while I got the OLED version, and best believe if it ever begins to overheat, then it too will be getting some LM added to it.

this guy is a hero. Nice informative video... thanks for this man :)
-
incredibly well done, thanks for being patient, repeating and showing various use cases, especially the polishing bit. very nice work!
-
Subbed. Never knew of liquid metal before this. Nice clear and compact content
-
Ultimate indeed - thank you for this video.
-
What a fantastic video, thanks heaps from NZ.
-
Great video! Last month i repaste my nitro 5 2022 default paste with liquid metal using this guide. I use a tape named Kepton to isolate and did really nice job. My temp results was great, -20 - 25°c. Now, i just repasted again like you did, so far so good, my laptop is cold finally. Thank you!

Wow I learned something today, thanks!
