Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Liquid Metal Review

It's time to move my old friend i7-4790K to another case with a different motherboard and a different CO. So it was necessary to return the cover to the processor and I did it through liquid metal. The result exceeded all my expectations. Now the processor is assembled using liquid metal and installed under the maintenance-free LSS through gelid thermal paste, after two hours of playing tanks, the temperature has not exceeded 50

One believing smeared this bucket on the processor covers: i7-3770 - 2 years everything seemed to be ok, sold i5-8400 - 4 months dead, began to pour blue screens R5-2400G - 8 months dead, blue screens, goo has eaten into the crystal and coke on the lid i5-4210U - 6 months the temperature gradually increased, traces on the crystal and coke on the heat-removable plate, replaced with thermal paste i7-8700 - 12 months temperatures turned out to the level of thermal paste, traces on the crystal were

Imac 2022 stopped trolling. The cooler here has always worked quietly, but the temperature of the blown air has increased significantly. In fact, under load over time, temperatures reach the same 80 degrees - but here the problem is more likely in the general modesty of the cooling system for the desktop processor. As for corrosion, let's wait and see. Now I probably would not apply it to the cooling system, you will find its horseradish for replacement

Use wipes to clean surfaces, they are not alcohol based (sounds like acetone). Liquid metal sticks to the surface much more easily. These wipes are nothing to be sorry for, they dry out too.

You shouldn't put it where it shouldn't be, the copper radiator had to be polished a little after a couple of days of testing on the laptop, only on a nickel surface ! And so cool thing)

I took it for the amd 5800X processor, with a DEEPCOOL ASSASSIN III cooler. As a result, it was possible to reduce temperatures by an average of 7 degrees. Easy to apply, no problems.

Pros below: Cools perfectly, in comparison with conventional thermal paste, the temperature of the processor in the laptop is 20 degrees lower With its cons: This is still a liquid metal (conducts electricity), be careful with application

Got pros: liquid metal. this is the best that is in civil circulation from thermal interfaces Has some cons: gets dirty if applied inaccurately (but this is its feature and nothing can be done about it)

After application, I used the laptop for several weeks. He became quieter and colder. Now, when the load is only on the processor, the coolers work quietly, earlier, at a load of > 50%, the coolers began to noticeably make noise. There are no elements around the CPU die, but resistors / capacitors are installed around the GPU. Protected them from liquid metal with PLASTIK-71 varnish, also left some thermal paste around to protect in case of a small leak during the first installation. Thermal…

Pros below: excellent heat-conducting liquid metal, the peak temperature has decreased by 5 degrees and now rests on the coolant With its cons: electrical conductivity; reaction with other substances (aluminum)
