Hello everyone !
Altough I am new here. I've been watching Linus's videos over 4 years now. Recently I've came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdTsra-uLBI
I have MSI GS73VR 7RF 255XTR-BB7770H16G1T0DXX as a laptop. I'm a civil structural engineer who also plays games. My laptop is my main source of income. My job is design building's carrier system using various softwares which generates heavy CPU and GPU loads (single analyze could take up to 50 minutes straight with %100 cpu load) and I have to carry my laptop around way too much. So I had to pick a laptop with thin and light design with most raw power I could get.
As you can see from the laptop's product details (Link here: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GS73VR-7RF-Stealth-Pro/Specification ). It is a thin and light laptop with relatively powerful components. But unfortunately it also thermal throttles. Especially in the long duration analyses and games such as PUBG, CS:GO etc. which causes FPS Drops and stutters.). Since I can't change the whole cooling system I want to try Liquid Metal Thermal paste. I'm not planning on Over Clocking or anything like that. Just want my laptop not to thermal throttle under mixed heavy loads would be enough for me.
I'm not a professional but have changed various laptop and pc components, applied many thermal pastes before. Asuming application would be good enough,
Can I apply it on my laptop's GPU and CPU ? As I understand it, you can't apply liquid metal thermal paste on various surfaces (Aliminium etc.). Surface of the CPU and GPU could be seen from this M2 SSD change of almost identical model laptop's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e3w9J81rh4 . Which I've done it with my laptop. Would it be safe ? Would you guys recommend it ? Will I get the thermal cooling i need ?
I can open it up again, take pictures of the surfaces and upload here if required. Thank you very much for reading.
Sincerely,
Oguzalp
