liquid metal question.

Delidding my 7600k due to one core being about 13-15c hotter than the other cores.

I am going to order the 1g version of the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. 

is it enough for the cpu dye and a gtx 1080 dye? never got my hands on this stuff, i know less is more but is 1g enough for both?

It should be well more than enough for both, yes.

That said, I don't think you're going to see the ROI you expect by applying it to your 1080.

I have the EVGA 1080 ACX 3.0 that had thermal issues back when, I have the thermal pads on it and still hover around 80-82c on max load. I figure it will help somewhat while I am doing the 7600k

Well just know that you do so at your own risk.

Liquid metal is conductive, so any spillover and/or slips during install create an environment which can lead to shorts.

If the 1080 has an aluminum heat sink as well, I believe @aki adaki is correct, it destroys aluminum.

I will double check that it is copper before applying. Thanks for the quick replies :D

Weather update, turns out the 1080 has an aluminum base that is copper plated, so im not really gonna take the risk, ill go with the kryonaut instead for the 1080.
