randomly came across this video and really liked the time you put into getting a nice spread across the chip. such a simple thing but shows just how much you love and respect your hardware . . . appreciated that as a viewer too, a little effort goes a long way in my book and getting an 88mhz oc on stock is testament to that. thank you for all the effort making this video
Agreed. Nicely done. I thought it was a really well established channel by the video quality. Then looked and only 2.4k subs so far. Well let me add +1 to that # :)
Thank you! Very often when people does the temp tests, they never put the fans at fixed RPM. ..which is just stupid, because then improving the cooling does not perform cooler temps because fans just go lower RPM.. Keep it up!
I've heard the performance of the liquid metal will degrade a lot over time? Something that's not a real problem with the stock thermal paste? So you might need to redo this every year? That's what I thought I read somewhere once? No idea if it's really the case.
The liquid metal thermal paste is a niche market after all. You cannot expect a large scale factory manufacturer to paste with this expensive high end paste. Plus, when applying the paste, you have to worry about not splitting outside the die as well. All these are not so welcome to mass manufacturing.
I googled this because the founders 1080 i placed in my mini pc is not keeping cool. Everywhere online people are saying 'dont do it' 'you'll break it' 'the clamping pressure wont work'. This reassures that people dont know until they try. Thanks for confirming my question!
Super great and surprising test!! Subscribed. I did this to my Asus ROG 1080 OC when I installed my water block 2 days ago. Cant wait to see the results! Thanks for this test!
Just a tip when performing tests regarding temperatures. State the ambient temperature for each test so the metric of comparison is change in temperature AKA 'delta T' as opposed to absolute temperature.
I can't figure out why your channel is so small with the quality. Your proved a point that liquid metal helps but with normal article silver I achieved the same drop in temps. With my EVGA 1080. (80 to about 69-70. Would've been cool to see a comparison between stock, new paste, and the liquid metal. Otherwise great video
I just ordered some Gelid GC extreme (better than mx4 from arctic) I want to see if it can fix my max temp of 78 on my ftw 1080, I would like to get to 2100 mhz, the closest I got so far is 2050.
Arctic Silver contains an actual metal compound (silver) so it would probably be just as effective. I've been warned against using AS5 in laptops, but I still use it, and it hasn't harmed anything. Only helped.
+zEus b thanks man! I love getting feedback like this, it makes all the effort worth it, it takes a lot of time to produce a video so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Haven't found many other youtubers go into such detail or explanation on liquid metal, not to mention as others have stated the production quality. I'm looking to swap the paste to conductonaut on my 2 1080ti Aorus Waterblock cards as soon as they get in. Also subscribed as well! :)
BangDroid wow thanks mate! I appreciate the feedback. I've got another liquid metal video coming this week.... On the evga 1080ti ftw3... ;) Make sure you catch that!
If you ever do another like this replace the pads as well. Grizzly (and a few others) make aftermarket thermal pads. It would be interesting to see what you get out of those.
I've been thinking about changing the thermal paste on my card. This has encouraged me to stop thinking and actually do it. Might do the CPU whilst I am at it.
Great video. One suggestion would have been to note the fan speed (% or RPM) for all tests. If you dropped 10 degrees *and* were able to run a lower fan speed (quieter card), that's doubly impressive and well worth noting. Cheers!
I subbed only because the video was great and you didn't miss a beat in speach. One thing I would have liked to see were the actual degree differences on the screen and maybe not from your word of mouth. I know some ppl would be skeptical but hey I subbed so it means I believed you man. Good job!
Such a shame that he replied to WHDii but not you... your comment was honest and upfront. WHDii 11 months ago Such a shame you've got so few subs man. Your videos are top notch. he loved that comment because it was a compliment. This guy is dodgy as fuck.
Videos a 10/10 can’t wait to start doing videos of my own going to be using a pretty humble set up with good editing and great shots like this man big inspiration!
mate you'll hate me, I've sold the guts of my computer and bought an intel Skull Canyon and an XPS laptop haha. still have the cables and my case but was waiting to see what happens with AMD and Ryzen / Vega.
I had a gigabyte 980ti that I did this on. Some liquid metal managed to make its way to the pcb, in the cleaning process a tiny ball of liquid metal managed to get under the Graphics chip (Between the pcb and the gpu) She was a good GPU!
first of all it must not be put on both sides but must be applied in the same way as applying the thermal paste, then you must surround the whole die with the tg shield, an enamel that is applied around the die and then insert the metal while if you got ass you can buy the cpu guard for amd processors
That off center badge on the fan would drive me nuts too! Plus it may even unbalance the fan as well. You should coat the SMD's with clear nail polish, then there will be much less risk of the LM making contact. And you can just use nail polish remover to remove it, if need be. Good video! Looks like you and the YES Man get your glasses at the same place!
I just ordered this card, very impressive little gtx 1080 with this liquid metal. So this convince me to order one. I will have it by the end of the week
Should get some Artic Clean. I know most people just use the rubbing alcohol but it really does make a large difference. Don't need to use 5 coffee filters folded over 100 times and its just a lot quicker. Two-three drops and it dissolves the paste within 3 seconds. Wipe off, couple drops of alcohol and you're done.
I´ve just bought an evga gtx 1080 sc, and now after watch this video, I am going to email to evga support for knowing if I put Thermal grizzly conductonaut may void my warranty. My sub and my like, thanks a lot for the video. Edit: evga answered me: Hi, Thank you for contacting Technical Support. We do not recommend using any Liquid Metal based thermal past on the GPU. We have observed these past damage GPU die eventually loosing warranty. Please feel free to contact for any further information.
So i finally did liquid metal on my gtx 1080...if left at at stock it reached 83c with the fans autoing to 85-94% so it sounded like a jet engine. After applying conductonaut, i got an unexpected crazy 14-15c degree drop. I now get 68-69c with autoing fan speed of 44-48% and it can overclock at 40 mhz higher than before. The only thing i worry about is the longevity. I've heard that the LM can last well over a year...but ive also seen and read that it does sometimes dry up eventually and does bond with nickel-copper at a very slow rate.
My GTX 1080FE from Nvidia with an EK full cover waterblock hits 34c max under load and 1911MHz and 10010Mhz before it boosts no OC. It's not even factory rated to achive those clock speeds. I thinck I might try the LM and see what it can do. Great presentation by the way. Just subbed
would it be better if you applied a layer of clear nail polish around the GPU's shinny heat spreader and especial on those tiny electronic component in which you mentioned on your video "careful not to spill any liquid metal on it". :D great video anyways keep it up you earned my sub. :D
Did this on my Titan X Pascal with an EK Waterblock. Liquid Ultra dropped temps from 69C max to 52C max. That's 17C! Of course I shorted out my card a few times, but hey...it works now!
I also have a predator x34. It got rave reviews almost a couple years ago and lots of youtubers put their money where their mouth was and got one. Even Phillip deFranco has one I figured it must be special so I bit the $1400 bullet I don't think I'll replace thermal paste unless my CPU/GPU is thermal throttling. Good to see that liquid metal doesn't seem to be a meme
It would have been very cool if you would have also included a comparison against something like the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. That way we would be able to compare between stock, a good paste ( Kryonaut ) and liquid metal ( Conductonaut ). Great video anyway but i would have been very curious to see the difference between the Kryonaut and the Conductonaut. Maybe something you can do in the future? Cheers
Any update on the Zotac 1080mini with Kryonaut! I just bought a Zotac mini 1080 this blackfriday - wondering If I should change the thermalepaste too - but with non-conductive though
i know Im asking randomly but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
I very much enjoyed the video! Sub granted as it is very informative and I also enjoyed your video and audio quality. Well done. As for liquid metal, my 6700K, currently running @4500MHz all cores goes first. It's gonna be delidded and I am looking forward to it. The Aorus GTX 1080 Ti will have a paste replacement to Conductonaut later on. Thank you for the very enlightening video!
I replaced the stock Thermal Paste on the CPU (no lid for some reason) in my 7 year old laptop with Arctic MX-4 Thermal Paste, and I also cleaned out all of the dust for once, and the fan got more force behind it, and it got a 9 degree improvement on CPU Core 1, a 12 degree improvement on CPU Core 2, and 9 degree improvement on the CPU Cache.
This is a great video man. Keep it up. Even though the video is 10 minutes long, the transitions were great and you kept it moving along. Only thing I would change would be a recording of the actual performance and a side by side comparison. Otherwise, everything is looking great.
The part of the heat sink touching the GPU die and liquid metal is copper, it'll be fine because it has to have direct contact with aluminium to react to it.
I just saw another video that stated Intel says they use a paste that holds up much better over many years and that they specifically went with longevity as being of higher importance than absolute conductivity. I suspect the same is true for GPUs. So even though most people see a real improvement in peak temperature values when they delid a chip and use liquid metal, the question is how it will be a few years later. For an enthusiast that replaces their GPU every couple years it may not be as big a deal as for the average Joe who just plugs a card and runs it sometimes for 4-5 years or longer.
FYI, Tesla initially looked at using gold for their electronics connectors because it has higher conductivity and better corrosion resistance so they assumed it would be better even though the rest of the automotive industry used tin. They found out later that gold flakes off and doesn't handle vibration nearly as well as tin does so they went back to tin like the rest of the industry. All I'm suggesting is that if a premium GPU card manufacturers knew that they could run a faster boost speed by using a few pennies of a different product that they probably would. if you look at something like the Morpheus GPU heatsink, it works better than stock GPU air coolers, but you end up with a 3 and a 1/2 slot wide device, which is why you don't see companies producing that.
To anyone with a 7700k: I highly recommend delidding applying thermal grizzly liquid metal. Huge improvement, I'm running 5ghz stable on air in a low-flow case with temps under 80c, compared to 4.8ghz with temps above 90c stock.
@@LightningFast240 No, some people suggest doing it but my theory is the more layers of paste, the more opportunity for air pockets. I may be wrong but I think applying to one side leaves less chance for air pockets.
I used thermal Grizzly Conuctonaut with my intel i7 7700K and i have seen a 10°C decline in temprature vs the normale thermal paste. So yeah, that thermal paste is worth its money.
Brought my Alienware 17 R4 with a 7820 HK, and GTX 1080 to the following temps Before CPU MAX: 89 C GPU MAX: 92 C (massive thermal throttling) After CPU MAX: 69 C GPU MAX: 75 C Ambient room temperature is around 75 F I'm very impressed with the CPU, but I'm not sure if I should be with the GTX 1080. I've heard people getting temps like that for the gpu with the stock thermal paste (sometimes as low as 69). I know my GPU temps dropped about 15-17 C, but I also feel like that is what the temps should have been in the first place. Should I go in again and add more liquid metal? Thanks.
Hello. I think that's normal. I also put liquid metal on my CPU and GPU of my laptop. Max CPU temp before the liquid metal was 95 and after applying the liquid metal the max was 80, which is 15 drop. But I didn't check the GPU temps before applying the liquid metal so I can't say what's the drop there. Anyway, the laptop began loading faster thanks to the lower temps. ;)
Good Lord .. comment before watching, never seen you before. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and the fake aussie accents always make me smile. I think we don't sound anything like that. A few sentences in from you now and wow .. YES we do. (This is in good humour)
Subed m8 really enjoyed your style :D , now i am tempted to try this on my rx480 that has a 240 AIO with NZXT G12 on it , and se if i can get even lower temp's.
Condutonaut stays liquid and apparently will move. Every other example of applying it to dies (admittedly nlt on de-lidded cpus) i have seen has first put a conformal coating (or nail varnish) over the tiny smd's around the die - just in case, it would only take a tiny blob of the stuff to short out one of those (presumed) capacitors.
Nice job man. But just so you know cunductonaut is extremely malleable. The main reason people put on tape or other solutions is because if you do manage to run the graphics card hot for a time the stuff will run off a little and even if you didn’t mess up on installation, a little bit of the cunductonaut could seep out later.
Great video! One question - How come the manufactures of these aftermarket coolers don't use a higher quality paste for their products? It sounds like there is a lot of gain to have from just changing to a better paste. Changing to the higher quality paste can't be that much more expensive for the production. Your thoughts?
Good result, but I still would have covered the small items along the core with clear nail polish or tape, since with "liquid" metal on a card may eventually run the conductonaut onto the small parts. Ounce of prevention costing only a dollar.
You should have applied an acrylic conformal coating to the resistors on the GPU. You're really taking a big risk by not isolation them from the liquid metal.
Just gave this a try on the 1080 Ti Mini, but I used some nail polish also just in case. I also use a custom Bios (allowing zero rpm), running the card in OC all the time. The 1080 Ti still get's quite hot, but I got a more stable OC at a few degrees less.
Nice! RUclips did a great job recommending this Video! I subbed! I want to put grizzly kryonaut on my Zotac GTX 650 TI (Yes its old I know) and my CPU Cooler

I like how you got the wire caught between the thermal pad and the heat sink at 6:42
The question is: Why didn`t the companies made this?? You buy a 700-1000$ GPU and you can`t expect such a simple thing? Thats a shame.
I've been asking that same question for ages now!
I've heard the performance of the liquid metal will degrade a lot over time? Something that's not a real problem with the stock thermal paste? So you might need to redo this every year?
That's what I thought I read somewhere once? No idea if it's really the case.
I read it here on a channel too. Why not to redo every year?
The liquid metal thermal paste is a niche market after all. You cannot expect a large scale factory manufacturer to paste with this expensive high end paste. Plus, when applying the paste, you have to worry about not splitting outside the die as well. All these are not so welcome to mass manufacturing.
saving 2 dollars on paste saves them millions.

Nice to see someone finally using the right amount of Liquid Metal. I want to use some on my Ref 1080ti but it looks like the heatsink is aluminium.
The heat fins are aluminum but the block touching the die is copper

The part of the heat sink touching the GPU die and liquid metal is copper, it'll be fine because it has to have direct contact with aluminium to react to it.
Subbed. Very informative and well put together.
Thank you!
I just saw another video that stated Intel says they use a paste that holds up much better over many years and that they specifically went with longevity as being of higher importance than absolute conductivity. I suspect the same is true for GPUs. So even though most people see a real improvement in peak temperature values when they delid a chip and use liquid metal, the question is how it will be a few years later. For an enthusiast that replaces their GPU every couple years it may not be as big a deal as for the average Joe who just plugs a card and runs it sometimes for 4-5 years or longer.
FYI, Tesla initially looked at using gold for their electronics connectors because it has higher conductivity and better corrosion resistance so they assumed it would be better even though the rest of the automotive industry used tin. They found out later that gold flakes off and doesn't handle vibration nearly as well as tin does so they went back to tin like the rest of the industry. All I'm suggesting is that if a premium GPU card manufacturers knew that they could run a faster boost speed by using a few pennies of a different product that they probably would.
if you look at something like the Morpheus GPU heatsink, it works better than stock GPU air coolers, but you end up with a 3 and a 1/2 slot wide device, which is why you don't see companies producing that.
WOW. I have a Zotac GTX 970 mini... I'm gonna have to do this.
cool test, did it on the hot HD 6970 huge temp drop of 20c. what i missed was a temp test 24hours later when the liquid was cured...
I did the same thing on my Zotact gtx 1080 mini that I have in my NODE 202 HTPC build. Much better temps and performance.
To anyone with a 7700k: I highly recommend delidding applying thermal grizzly liquid metal. Huge improvement, I'm running 5ghz stable on air in a low-flow case with temps under 80c, compared to 4.8ghz with temps above 90c stock.
Did you apply liquid metal to both underside and die cover?
@@LightningFast240 No, some people suggest doing it but my theory is the more layers of paste, the more opportunity for air pockets. I may be wrong but I think applying to one side leaves less chance for air pockets.
I used thermal Grizzly Conuctonaut with my intel i7 7700K and i have seen a 10°C decline in temprature vs the normale thermal paste.
So yeah, that thermal paste is worth its money.
Brought my Alienware 17 R4 with a 7820 HK, and GTX 1080 to the following temps
Before
CPU MAX: 89 C
GPU MAX: 92 C (massive thermal throttling)
After
CPU MAX: 69 C
GPU MAX: 75 C
Ambient room temperature is around 75 F
I'm very impressed with the CPU, but I'm not sure if I should be with the GTX 1080. I've heard people getting temps like that for the gpu with the stock thermal paste (sometimes as low as 69).
I know my GPU temps dropped about 15-17 C, but I also feel like that is what the temps should have been in the first place.
Should I go in again and add more liquid metal?
Thanks.
Hello. I think that's normal. I also put liquid metal on my CPU and GPU of my laptop. Max CPU temp before the liquid metal was 95 and after applying the liquid metal the max was 80, which is 15 drop. But I didn't check the GPU temps before applying the liquid metal so I can't say what's the drop there. Anyway, the laptop began loading faster thanks to the lower temps. ;)
Bro, just use kelvin, everyone will understand.
Great stuff, subbed =) Now all you need is to replace the thermal pads with some 17w/mk pads =D
do u know the thickness of the thermal pads?, I want to change mine
Good Lord .. comment before watching, never seen you before. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and the fake aussie accents always make me smile. I think we don't sound anything like that.
A few sentences in from you now and wow .. YES we do.
(This is in good humour)
Subed m8 really enjoyed your style :D , now i am tempted to try this on my rx480 that has a 240 AIO with NZXT G12 on it , and se if i can get even lower temp's.
That's impressive. 10 is massive.
Condutonaut stays liquid and apparently will move. Every other example of applying it to dies (admittedly nlt on de-lidded cpus) i have seen has first put a conformal coating (or nail varnish) over the tiny smd's around the die - just in case, it would only take a tiny blob of the stuff to short out one of those (presumed) capacitors.
Nice video. Plenty of effort in the editing and such! :)
Nice job man. But just so you know cunductonaut is extremely malleable. The main reason people put on tape or other solutions is because if you do manage to run the graphics card hot for a time the stuff will run off a little and even if you didn’t mess up on installation, a little bit of the cunductonaut could seep out later.
Loved the Video and Loved the Fonts HAAAA
+Upgrade Addiction Love the monitor
Great video! One question - How come the manufactures of these aftermarket coolers don't use a higher quality paste for their products? It sounds like there is a lot of gain to have from just changing to a better paste. Changing to the higher quality paste can't be that much more expensive for the production. Your thoughts?
If your still running this mini card I suggest voltage curve threw afterburner as it would be the biggest change
Good result, but I still would have covered the small items along the core
with clear nail polish or tape,
since with "liquid" metal on a card
may eventually run the conductonaut onto the small parts.
Ounce of prevention costing only a dollar.
You could do that out of paranoia but not necessary if you use a thin layer of liquid metal.
Very helpful video !!
Good job keep it up
You should have applied an acrylic conformal coating to the resistors on the GPU. You're really taking a big risk by not isolation them from the liquid metal.
we miss your videos plz come back
Just gave this a try on the 1080 Ti Mini, but I used some nail polish also just in case. I also use a custom Bios (allowing zero rpm), running the card in OC all the time. The 1080 Ti still get's quite hot, but I got a more stable OC at a few degrees less.
Nice video man! Exciting - this is not what it is.. AMAZING would be better word..
Nice! RUclips did a great job recommending this Video! I subbed!
I want to put grizzly kryonaut on my Zotac GTX 650 TI (Yes its old I know) and my CPU Cooler
