Yes, you can, but I hope you realise you're dealing with liquid metal? That means if you put too much paste on it, it will run out over the headspreader and onto the motherboard --> short circuit. Have you watched any youtube videos on how to use it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvM2FJKZ044 It is important that the surfaces have been cleaned of all residues. The best way is with pure rubbing alcohol (NOT VODKA! xD).

I don't think so. This paste is normally only used for the contact between the chip and the IHS. I would just use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. There is a risk of corrosion of the surfaces in contact. Moreover, there should already be some paste on the chip. Ready to use.

Yes, it works. however, you still need to apply non-conductive heat-conducting paste to the smd components next to the chip in case you miss some liquid metal.

The base plate is made of copper. Yes you can!

Hi At Aquacomputer.de there are very precisely manufactured rubber seals (Sealing Frame for Socket AM5) for AM5 CPUs. I have fitted one of these and have had no problems with it.

You have to be careful because it runs like water. If it gets on the contacts, the board is defective.

Hello, I don't recommend it, it eats away at the processor. The metal paste is mostly used for processor delidding.

The Noctua NH-U12A is fine. Your contacting surface to the CPU is nickel-plated copper, which doesn't react with the LM. If your contact surface would be aluminium (like in many cheaper coolers), its gonna react with the LM and will be destroyed in a very short time.

It is rather used between the processor and the IHS after a "delid". You can use it on the contact surface with the processor, but it's not recommended for long term use as it can permanently stick the heatsink to the processor, I recommend this one with your Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (12.50W/m K, 1g)

right! i overlooked that, thanks :)

i would stick with traditional non-conductive pastes. it should work, but liquid metal is typically meant to go below the iHS of a processor. the performance gain may be manageable in your case. it should work, you might even get slightly lower temperatures. you just have to be very careful not to use too much of it, the stuff shouldn't get anywhere except on the proz.

I would not recommend liquid metal in a laptop. It can lead to short circuits or a defect in the CPU. The liquid metal becomes hard after a certain time and acts like a glue. In case of shocks, it can break off again and becomes ineffective.

There is more than enough. I already use my tube for several Intel CPUs with heads. However, I would advise against soiling the IHS and CPU cooler with it. The temperatures will hardly be better and the visual "damage" to the CPU is not worth it in my eyes. The same applies to an air-cooled graphics card. Here you also have to reckon with a short circuit if you don't insulate the small units next to the chip with nail varnish or WLP.

That doesn't play such a big role. I have even only used thermal paste. The point is not to provoke a short circuit by mistake.

It does bring something, but the more potent the GPU cooler "Raijing Morpheus", the leap is not as huge as with less potent coolers. The advantage of the Morpheus is that the cooler is nickel-plated. With copper base plates, it can happen that the liquid metal "sucks in" and you have to touch it up (months/years). Don't forget that there are electronic parts around the GPU that will short-circuit if they come into contact with the liquid metal paste. It is best to strip the insulation. With CPU already seen with nail polish, but with GPU you should better google to be sure. So to sum up, yes, it helps a lot. "Weaker" coolers have a stronger jump.

Hello Wickid76. This is not thermal paste, but liquid metal. I would not use it for "normal" applications. Liquid metal is quite tricky. You should rather buy a heat conductive paste. Just type it into the search box. Today most of them are good, you can't buy anything wrong. And you can also use it for Mac pro 2013. greetings...

Yes, as long as the contact surface of the cooler to the CPU is not made of aluminium. Since liquid metal is conductive, it is a little trickier to apply, but in my personal opinion it is not more difficult. It is best to cover everything around the CPU during application in case something should go wrong. According to various sources, liquid metal slightly corrodes the surface of the CPU's headspreaders, but this is only an optical problem. but this should only be visually disturbing.

Therefore, it is best to consult professionals or the manufacturer directly before purchasing, to make sure that it is used correctly. This does not necessarily mean that you should not put this paste on top of the processor. The opinion of some people on a discord is not always valid, without necessarily judging the quality of the information you have received.

1) "Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut is a liquid metal thermal compound based on a eutectic alloy. A very high thermal conductivity value is achieved through a special mixing ratio of, among others, the metals tin, gallium and indium. We recommend applying Conductonaut to nickel-plated copper, as this offers the best long-term stability. " "Note: Conductonaut thermal paste must not be used with aluminium radiators!" 2) start with little... ESD compliant masking tape

like a normal heat-conducting paste :-)

Hello ingohuber. According to caseking, this aio has a copper cooler. This should work. It wouldn't work if the water cooling system had an aluminium cooler. Find out more about this. The quantity is enough for several times. You only need to apply a small drop (maybe the size of a pinhead). You have to spread it on the cpu with the supplied "cotton swabs" so that it just reflects. And you must be careful not to miss anything, as liquid metal conducts electricity (short-circuits!). If the drop is too big, you can simply suck it up again with the syringe. You can also apply a little to the cooler itself. Oh yes... Use both hands to operate the syringe. Otherwise it can suddenly go "plop" and the stuff is everywhere. A bit of feeling is needed. I don't know what the situation is with your i9 in terms of heads. Whether they are now soldered. To replace the thermal paste at some point, you will need a fine sandpaper to remove it from the cpu and the cooler to some extent.

bei caseking.de momentan 8.50 euro ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Would use normal paste, completely uncomplicated and no risk of short-circuiting if used improperly.
