I love grinding right down into the transistors themselves, makes for a beautifully shiny experience and then I don't even need to reapply new liquid metal or paste, as I just throw the cpu i just destroyed away
No, you don't have to polish the stain if you're reapplying liquid metal. Check out this video -> th-cam.com/video/w7ChaNf9N-w/w-d-xo.html I give a complete explanation of the application of liquid metal
Hello, I watched your full video, in my case I do not have access to that cleaning liquid, I wanted to know if I can put thermal paste without polishing it.. thank you
The micro scratches and pitting that you actually create on the surface after polishing will reduce thermal efficacy. It’s best not to do that step and only stick with the alcohol.
ok well when i decided to not finish removing all the old liquid metal and just put new paste on my cpu temp went above 100° just booting windows, pick ur battles
I wasted my time i added liquid metal to my laptop CPU and it didn't work still reaches 90c same as thermal paste and yes I have it installed correctly on CPU and GPU I have to remove it now so I can put regular paste on since there is no difference
I'll do you one better. I travelled recently and my laptop bounced around all over the place. That caused the liquid metal to leak all over the motherboard. Surprisingly it actually started up after I cleaned most of the liquid metal off the MB, but it's doing super weird things now...screen is flickering, mouse pad not working. No more liquid thermal paste on laptops for me.
@@allanshpeley4284Some asus laptops use liquid metal from the factory. Same thing happens, the laptop gets used, the liquid metal leaks out, and now my motherboard has tiny droplets of liquid metal all over... I generally like Asus, but damn, what a stupid move of them. Hopefully my laptop still works when I'm done applying new thermal paste.
It's not that it's conductive; it's that the galium and copper bond to form an alloy because galium has a negative potential and copper has a positive potential. Using it only on the PS5 is a misnomer. Liquid metal should only be used on copper surfaces that are plated with nickel in order to prevent the chemical reaction. You can use it on any device but the surface for the application of liquid metal must be nickel plated copper.

LMAO
Imagine you use a grinding tool. It will make you an absolute beautiful mirror finish. I love applying my LM on that spotless surface.
Can I use Ethyl alcohol instead of IPA ? Thank you !
Thank you, wonderful video.
Do I have to polish the stain if I am reapplying Liquid metal again
that would be my question too

You have to remove ALL traced of it or it might go into the chips and kill your PC. Also the thermal paste won't have good contact
@@pavy415 that's some bs, where'd you even hear that
@@xCheatah it will kill your pc if it leaks, but thermal contact issues is BS

i lowkey feel that this hard side of sponge is going to ruin my heatsink with all those deep scratches !

Liquid metal is conductive to copper surface, so technically you shouldn't use in on anywhere but PS5
this is a misconception
this has the same energy as, the human eye cannot see more than 60fps
@@LuxuryLeet wtf 😅😅😅😅😅

so, the liquid metal is not that liquid over time?
