Liquid metal cooling

[DESTROYER 123503]

So i wanted to use metal liquid cooling and would it work on the msi gl62m 7rex and would it acutually decrease temperature for example for cpu runs at 70c while intensive gaming so it would drop down to 50c ?

[Jurrunio]

No, not that big of a difference. More like 70C to 60C, if the fan speeds stay the same (laptops usually slow down fans at the same time, giving even less temperature difference)

It could help you a little bit when you reach temperatures near throtteling. But besides of that, I wouldn't apply liquid metal. Risks are definitely there.

But i want the fans to be more quieter because the fans run at 7000rpm and its 70c on cpu and 55 to 65c on gpu

If it's worth the possibility of completely toasting your hardware then go for it, but I'd use something like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut instead, it's a heck of a lot safer. 

 

According to this: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/kryonaut-12-w-mk-vs-conductonaut-liquid-metal-73-w-mk.229167/

 

You get about a 3C decrease in temps, for a much higher chance of ruining your machine.

It's okay to use liquid metal but it's a good idea to use transparent nail polish to put on the parts around the die.

So you can't short those components out.

 

But still I'm not sure if I would do it on a laptop

I did it on my GE62 6QF, can't remember the details but it didn't give any more performance (at stock settings) but it did lower temperatures. I can't confirm if it was related or not, but the laptop suddenly stopped working some time after applying the LM.

Speaking from experience here ( i delided my old i7 3770k) , but liquid metal isn't worth the risk . Don't get me wrong : i do think deliding your processor is definitely worth it , but not liquid metal.

I started out my delidded 3770k with plain old thermal paste ( NTH1), but eventually use LM a bit later on. The temperature gains are marginal , and honestly not worth the risk of shorts, corrosion ( if applicable ) and just the simple fact that you'll need to re-apply the LM fairly often .

You're probably just as well off buying quality thermal paste and using that instead between the die and IHS.

If you are capable and you have the right delid tools for CPU side of things and can follow instructions then the risk are virtually none IMO, expect user error. When dealing with graphics cards same story follow a tear down video/web guide if any and have at it, be prepared with a full set of micro heads with various tips, the tear down guide is not really needed but recommended points on the GPU can be delicate, don't want to try to force something off. Never use on aluminum like it says right on the box.

 

I still need to do my GPU at some point but the delid on my i7700k with a mono block on an Apex motherboard was amazing, reached a final OC of 5.3GHz with negative -2 AVX, had too have that on to make stable in things like prime 95, temps do not go above 60c/@23c ambient basically no matter how long you run the dam test close to two gallons of distilled water between the two loops, at idle 1-3 degree spikes above ambient . Without the delid and liquid metal with NO GLUE on IHS and also liquid metal on IHS and heat sink, that would never be possible. Looks like Intel is going back to solder on the high end gaming main stream chips i9 9900k, so might not have too anymore for CPU's.

Thats whats called being stupid for a video, gets more views, it also comes with these little needle tips which is what I used it allows it to slowly come out and ball at the end. Common sense should direct a person to "Test" an application on a test surface just to see how sensitive the product is coming out. Atleast with me it did because the hardware it was being used on was purchased by me lol and I did not want any fuck ups, and also knowing its very difficult to clean.

you will get more quiet fans with light works loads, but high ones, the fans will most likely spin up to max or near max, 

but the temps will be much better, at lighter loads the temperature difference isnt really the much different unless you edit the fan curve
