Liquid metal on a Mac. Is it possible??

[TotallyFakeAkshay]

Hey guys so today i came with a weird topic that is it possible to apply liquid metal on a Mac like MacBook pro or iMac?

I'm totally a mac noob because I never owned a Mac so i don't know whether it is possible to apply liquid metal on a Apple MacBook pro or iMac.

If anyone knows the answer please reply to me.

Is it possible: yeah probably

 

Should you do it: no

It's possible, but there are so many places to break the >apple device< that it really just isn't worth it.

[RollinLower]

yes, it is possible. you will probably loose your warranty tough.

 

you can put liquid metal on anything you want really, but 90% of the time it isn't recommended.

Yes, it's possible and it has been done by a few people (like Quinn from SnazzyLabs). You're probably better off just setting your own fan curve, though. It's going to throttle either way.

It isn't worth losing the warranty on, or on a macbook  as the liquid metal could spread when the laptop is moved around.

I mean. It's a computer. With heat sinks. If you can take it apart, without breaking it, then yeah you can.

But what if, for example, I were to upgrade my iMac and put in a new SSD. The iMac‘s going to be opened anyway, so replacing the termal compound would not be the main target of my operation. 

As Snazzylabs has noticed, thermal throttling does occur way less on Macs when using liquid metal. And if there is a chance of making my machine nearly totally quiet, i‘d risk using lm.

Within warranty: nope 

out of warranty: sure 

 

I applied liquid metal to my 2012 15” retina MacBook Pro, no throttling & fan at minimum , video below ;
