A lot of the premium thermal paste products are non-conductive (electrically) and still way better than the stuff they put on at the factory and will improve you situation.
I don’t think that thermal grizzly products are a bad place to start looking. I haven’t tried them myself, but GamersNexus are advertising/recommending them and I do trust them.
- darkpuma 8y agoIs there no chance of that gallium alloy amalgamating with other metals it might encounter? It seems really sketchy, but I guess it's probably not since I've not heard horror stories.
- xxs 8y agoGallium eats aluminum like butter[0]:. Copper is safe, nickel plated copper is ok as well (might tarnish though)... solder joins are dead however. One should be very careful if that stuff can leak. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k919f7Qi4es&vl=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k919f7Qi4es&vl=en <--random video
- xxs 8y ago> I haven’t tried them myself, you should. kryonaut and conductonaut are both great. However I'd not recommend liquid metal (gallium) for daily use in a laptop with low tension force. I use liquid metal on delidded ones and kryounat elsewhere.
