Higher Risk and RewardWatched a lot of tutorials on using Liquid Metal on GPU (1080ti) die before deciding to go this path. Finally took the plunge. It is really only for the dedicated, somewhat risk taking enthusiast, but so far worth the results (compared to 2 year old stock paste). I am using it on my 2 year old EVGA 1080Ti FTW3, which was starting to show higher temps with the old stock paste (which was on the dry side after 2 years of use). My before and after (controlled 70% fan speed) 10 min Heaven Benchmark tests showed a reduction of max stable temps from 78C (holding 1936 Mhz) to 63C (holding 1949 Mhz). The increase in temps is also slower, so in real game use the temps generally stay in the 50s with lower fan RPM. The price of this Liquid Metal is comparable to MX-4, but the risk, reward and difficulty of use is far higher. I have attached pics, but I must say, it was a bit of a tough process to carefully coat the resistors around the GPU die with clear Nail polish (without getting it on the die) and getting the right (min) amount of liquid metal on the die and the heatsink. Here’s to hoping it keeps working so well. I will probably not risk it with a new GPU until it’s stock paste starts to lose performance after a few years of use.

Great liquid metal!In case you don’t have the popular brand. This product is the same or a little better out there great performance.I used it for direct die for my i9 9900k and 1080 Ti and drops the temp huge amount around 10-20c.

Love the resultsI tried to apply Coollaboratory Liquid Extreme (41W/mK) but did not get enough for both CPU and GPU. I ordered Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (73W/mK) but is taking forever to arrive. I ordered Silver King liquid metal and it came in next day. So, I decided to give it a try first. It is easy to control and apply. Average 8C temperature drop on both CPU & GPU compared to stock(79W/mK ). Highly recommended.By the way, if you are wondering what laptop is that. It is Alienware Area-51m with i9-9900K CPU and RTX2080 graphic card. Yes. An upgradable CPU and GPU laptop.

Just as good as Conductonaut – at a lower price.To the reviewer who said it destroyed the heatsink into dust: you used liquid metal on aluminum, which is an absolute no-no. Copper and nickel heatsinks are OK for use with it.I used this Silver King liquid metal for an i7 4770K delid, it lowered my load temperature running RPCS3 of 80C down to 65C, a 15 degree improvement. As a result, I get a cooler and quieter computer.In my opinion, it is slightly easier to spread than Conductonaut, which tends to bead up more.It looks and works just like Thermal Grizzly’s Conductonaut, even the included supplies (2 black cotton swabs, an applicator needle, and an IPA wipe) are pretty much identical. The catch? A lower overall cost (but performance is not sacrificed at all). Great buy.

Total nightmare to spread it on a brand new CPUSo I made the mistake of trying to apply this to a brand new 3900x and it didn’t want to stick at all.I tried it over and over, but no luck, and believe me I didn’t give up easily.I think new CPU’s surfaces are just too fine for this to stick. Maybe it’s just me, but I wasn’t able to apply it.I ran out of it I had to retry so many times, so no luck for me.

Good TIMI used this on a delidded i5 4670k and it was easy enough to spread to both the i5’s die and the heat spreader, it brought temps down low enough that passing a prime95 stress test was no longer an issue. Before the delid it would almost instantly hit 100C. Now it’s just hitting the low 70s with a light overclock. So yes I like this stuff and I’d buy it again.Now I can’t make any comparisons to other liquid metals on the market because this is the first I’ve ever used. I’ll say all the usual warnings apply though, avoid contact with aluminum. Do not get this stuff on anything surrounding the cpu or gpu as that will have a high chance of killing the component if you run them without cleaning it up. A good tip from buildzoid is to pick up some of the liquid metal from the syringe itself (remove the lid or needle point) and paint it onto your component with the cotton swab that’s included. You can completely avoid mistakenly squirting it out if you do it this way.

Works better (and is way cheaper) than other liquid metals.Excellent thermal compound. Definitely not for the faint of heart (or shaky-handed), but if you’ve got the cooling capacity for it, expect to drop about 5°C after applying. I’ve used Conductonaut as well, and find that this one is a little easier to spread for first application, but seems to have a slightly lower viscosity when heated. Make sure that you let your components cool completely before applying, or you might find it beading up and rolling off your IHS.

Amazing! 100 stars!Amazing thermal compound! The fans in my gaming laptop were ramping up constantly like a jet engine! So i appiled this liquid metel compound and now my temps are soo cool my fans rarely ever ramp up! Highly recommend!-DO NOT USE ON ALUMINIUM!-DO NOT APPLY TO MUCH!-APPLY TO BOTH CPU/GPU AND THE HEATSINK.-USE A PROPER SPREADING MOTION IN ONE DIRECTION.-YOUTUBE SOME TUTORIALS IF YOU MUST.

Risk but good ?Good product but spectacle about leaking and tosting my laptop hopefully everything goes well performance is good 20 degree lower temperature but at a risk would recommend using with vacuum cooling fan for laptop i am getting 35 degree lower using both together

Coil whine baby!First things first, I found it much easier to paint a layer on both the die and the heatsink, let it settle for an hour or so, and then apply the amount you want to stick with; it makes spreading the liquid much easier. Another thing you can do is buy some phone repair foam strips, I made a border around my chips so the metal could not escape once the heatsink is on. The results are insane, my laptop went from thermal throttling at 95c to 100% load at 65c, the power components make more noise than the fans now! The 20 degree drop allowed me to overclock my GPU too, and it still doesn’t throttle!
