How far will a 1g tube of liquid metal go?

[Noblekent]

I'm planning to use liquid metal for a cpu delid, cpu liquid cooler mount, and replacing the thermal grease on 2 gtx1080 s. I know you only need a very thin coat of liquid metal, so would one tube of 1g thermal grizzly conductonaut be enough or should I order more than one?

I've done like 15+ CPU installs off a 4G tube of regular thermal paste, and that was on very large server chips, I think a 1G tube would be more than enough. Like you said, you don't need as much liquid metal compared to regular thermal paste as you only need a very thing coat.

about as far as you can throw it I would assume.....

 

 

It does depend a lot on the surface area you are trying to cover and your frugality of application. You should be able to get multiple CPUs done quite easily
