Wow! That heatsink and fan assembly is enormous! My advice for liquid metal is stay the heck away from it unless the device was supplied with it, in which case it would have the necessary containment foam surrounding the chip to keep it from accidentally getting where it shouldn't. I'd also highly recommend getting an 'air duster' to replace the canned air. I use an 'Xpert Compu Cleaner' air duster which has been brilliant. I'd also recommend removing the laptop fans to get to the dust on the heatsink fins. Blowing dust back into the fans can create 'dust bunnies' that can trap the fan blades and stop them from spinning if they get in the way.
Haven't come across liquid metal build as yet and would be dubious about using it. As you saw the grease was bone dry. Unfortunately the fresh paste never fixed it so watch out for part 2 lol
@@enscomputers I'd definitely take off those fans from the heatsink. There's no telling what blockages might be in there. Usually I shine a flashlight into the middle of the fan and see if I can see the light clearly through the heatsink fins on the opposite side.
Amazing video
Keep it up
Thank you for the encouragement, you have just made my day. :D
