I liked how he showed the improvements from replacing the default TIM with a liquid based TIM. I wonder if you could get the same improvement from using Thermal

  I'd imagine GamersNexus on YT would be all over that one as they are sponsored by them. However, Steve tends to be down the list when it comes to getting new toys to play with. Yes, replacing the LLM every few months, would be serious level of dedication IMHO and not sure I'm aware of anybody would go to that effort - however it was good to see what was possible. Still, nice to see that they did use thermal paste and not pads in the production, though we don't know what paste they used. If that was known then some crude gestimations could be extrapolated. They did however put some attention to that cooling system and was very interesting in the review how the fan blades are varying length in an effort to reduce fan noise - I'd never considered that or been aware of that before and made sense as well as being kinda neat attention to detail thinking. Me personally, I'd not want to do any of that until warranty expired and to eek out more life in that puppy. Though, as I'm rockin a Core2Duo, you kinda feel my budget is never going to see this. Still nice to virtual experience it. Yes the whole nail polish, kinda neat hack way of doing things and not aware of any downsides with that - beyond warranty, though at least you wouldn't have to replace that periodically compared to LM.
