Hi Everyone 

It's my first post here, I've been watching the ltt videos on liquid metal as a thermal compound and wondered (despite it being costly).  Could liquid metal be used in a water cooling system?

tl;dw: Yes, you can, but it's corrosive, toxic, conductive and not as viscous as water (without diluting it). And the result isn't that much better to make it worth the risks.

I would use liquid metal only under the IHS of CPUs that aren't soldered and have bad temps...

In theory it could be used anywhere. Except with aluminium...

I edit my posts more often than not
