  1. Last question. Is there a specific alcohol you use? I usually try tonise 99% but sometimes get stuck with 91% and it's annoying having to wipe up the white residue afterwards.

  2. Hey Alex! Thank you for the video! Why not use NF.Sucker Powerful Solder Removing Tool to suck liquid metal off the board once mixed with Alcohol especially when in tight spaces or from under the CPU/GPUs? Just an idea

  3. Holy cow. Sounds like it to me that this customer didn't know what they were doing when applying liquid metal. Yeah this sure isn't factory because factories when doing it know what they are doing because if I am not mistaken the factories use machines to apply liquid metal to devices that use it. Yeah customers who don't know what they are doing should stick with either thermal paste or PTM 7950.

  4. The problem isn't the liquid metal, it's the idiot who put way too much and applied it poorly. Saying you're not gaining much is insane. On a high end laptop every bit of extra cooling helps, running your laptop on 80 degrees on load vs 90 is kind of a big deal. Just do it properly or have someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you, if you don't have confidence.

  5. Man who would do this, crazy part is hom much liquid metal is on the board, to me looks like well over $200.00 worth if not a lot more stuff is not cheap…

  6. I'm a chemist. The liquid metal isn't attracted to the isopropyl alcohol, it hates it. That's why it bunches up into a sphere to have the smallest amount of surface area touching the IPA. It sticks to the swab because it's slightly more attracted to the cotton than the IPA.

  7. Two things are now on my "never to do" list when it comes to computers. Using liquid cooling and now liquid metal. Call me crazy but it seems to me whenever you use liquid in any form to save a few degrees bad things can happen. JUST A GUESS, THOUGH! 🥶
