Liquid Metal Woes - Temps higher on GPU and random shut off

[shadowsmile]

I've run into some issues after installing liquid metal on my Asus g752 (both CPU and GPU).

I used conformal coating over a electrical tape method and replaced some of the thermal pads while I was in there. I used a thin (almost too thin imo) layer of LM on both CPU and GPU.

 

Temps look decent with around a 7-8c drop on the CPU and an actual increase on GPU (62c->68c).

 

Issue being, why would my GPU temps go up using LM? I would expect to see at least similar temps if not lower.

Then I experienced a couple of off shut offs -no BSOD, just shut off. Was also monitoring temps during shutoff with no stress test being done (youtube watching when shut off occurred)

 

Any thoughts to why the random shut offs now?

the LM could possibly be making contact with something causing a short?

i would recommend cleaning and reapplying if possible

I would buy a barrier before using it again. This can prevent a leak from causing a short.

Looks like your CPU package temp hit 95C per your screenshot. That is probably what is causing the unexpected shutdowns.
