Liquid Metal Thermal Paste

Liquid metal thermal paste has become a hot topic of interest for a growing number of PC enthusiasts. Some have even gone so far as to say that using this thermal compound on their CPUs and GPUs is the only way to get the most out of their hardware. But before you decide to give it a try, there are some things that you should know first.

Liquid Metal is non-toxic and RoHS compliant. It can be directly coated on the gap between the heat source and the heat sink to achieve high thermal conductivity. It does not flow, evaporate or oxidize at high temperature environment and can maintain its function and longevity for a long time.

While most types of thermal paste use silicone-based compounds, liquid metal uses actual metal to improve the transfer of heat. It can achieve up to 73 W/mK of thermal conductivity, which is significantly higher than most other types of thermal compounds. However, unlike traditional thermal paste, liquid metal also conducts electricity, so improper application could result in short circuits or damage to your computer components.

Liquid metal thermal paste is available in both syringe-style and spreadable forms. The syringe-style application offers precision and control, but it requires more skill to properly handle. The spreadable form, on the other hand, offers convenience and is more forgiving for beginners. It does require some patience to apply evenly though, since it takes a while for the thermal paste to spread and bond with the surfaces of the CPU and GPU.Liquid metal thermal paste
