laptop Liquid Metal & Copper Application

[Everlasted]

As the title implies I'm looking to use Liquid Metal

( https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/ ) for my new Laptop a MSI GP73 Leopard 693 which will be arriving Friday.

 

I've spent quite some time researching the application of LM and my primary concerns now are the reactions between LM & Copper. 

 

For reference http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/something-to-think-about-liquid-metal-compatibility-with-copper-heat-sinks.800890/

 

From what I've been able to resolve the only solution to this would be to Nickle plate the Copper heat pipes that make contact with the LM compound. I have yet to have a chance to break into the laptop and examine all of the specifics. Air flow between the heat pipes and CPU or GPU, or any other scenarios.

 

One other possible solution would be to use a nickle sheet in between the heat pipes and LM. If I could find a thin enough and small enough sheet.

 

I'm not sure if I'm worrying to much about the alloy that forms, Which seems to less of a concern over time because the Copper-Gallium alloy will have a negative charge negating any further reaction. At the same time possibly becoming a worse solution for heat dispersion. 

 

Any suggestions or insights would be welcomed! Down with thermal throttling! I also plan on using an exhaust vacuum if the one I have chosen will work with my laptop.

ans in short: nothing to worry

its worth worrying the spillage more.

dont think it is complicated, if a substance is so easily reacted chemically , it will already have changed and become something else stable, usually in therms of metal oxide  etc

I have an old dead laptop, my previous HP something, that I plan on using as a test subject. I can get it to boot and warm up to test if my application will spill with extream movement.

One other concern I had was re-application. How often should I, I haven't found any definite answers. Obviously it varies but a guide would be nice!

Honestly i wouldnt risk using LM on a laptop. Just use a good Thermal paste like Kryonaut, and it improves thermals and has 0 risk.
