2:20 is pretty annoying. You are speaking about technical things so I think you should lower the music a bit so people can understand better what you say. Plus for a ADHD like me it's just plain torture.
Agreed... bump it all down to 0, except for his talking. I had to mute that shit, while he was working, and hope he didn't to say something while i had that crap muted!
You should make it clear to viewers that the liquid metal is electrically conductive so one should be very careful when applying noting the exposed contacts around the GPU. A good trick is to use clear nail polish and coat those contacts to essentially provide insulation to them in case any of the liquid metal gets on them.
Dude, I looked into that and had NO IDEA you could use clear nail polish to provide insulation. Thanks for that bit of info. I wish I'd have known that when delidding my 6700K. But it's running good anyhow.
Oh hell yes it is WORTH it. At least it is in my eyes. I was just shocked at just how little TIM Intel uses (the quality of the material is something left to be desired as well), there was barely anything between the TIM and the IHS. And what WAS there was basically just powder, I wiped the TIM off the IHS with my finger and it all crumbled into dust. Gaming wise I'd see temps reach 93 C underneath a Corsair H115i and 4.7GHz. Not very good if you ask me..... running Prime 95? Nope, near instant ctd because temps would almost instantly spike to 100-102 C. After delidding.......... I can game with peace of mind because temps never go above 49 C using a Deepcool GAMMAX 400 air cooler. 41 C max when I used to use my H115i but a buddy of mine really wanted to use it so we traded coolers. Meh, 49 C on air at 4.7GHz is not bad at all. Running a stress test like Prime 95 now..... with the air cooler temps will reach about 80 C and basically hover around there for hours. I used Cool Laboratory Liquid Ultra and have no idea if Conductonaut would be any better. I just happened to go with Liquid Ultra. You just have to be careful when squeezing the liquid onto the cpu die. It's a good thing I tried squeezing the liquid onto an old Pentium 4 to practice first because as soon as I squeezed, SPLURGE. Would have been BAD if I tried that on the 6700K while it was installed onto my motherboard. I just took a q-tip and dabbed it onto the pentium 4 and applied very little (enough to cover the 6700K) and the results are AMAZING.
Tom Handley yeah as i said im really thinking into delliding my 6700k. What tool did you use? As for the temps. im currently running 4.6ghz and i see my temps going to 80c maybe 85c wich is not critical, but not what id call good, also id like to liquid metal my 1070 and my laptop, hell il even do it on my old phat ps3, just for the sake of it lol.
I did my first Conductonaut replacement with my MSI RX480 Gaming X twice. Once with just adding tim to die and another adding to the heatsink. Tested at 21c ambient and card ran Heaven Extreme for 30 mins and hit 67c stock at 17%fan on auto. First replacement dropped it to 64c. After applying it to heatsink as well because both sides did not completely bond, it dropped down to 60c at 17% fan. Can confirm, applying to both sides of contacts will give better results. I am not ready to Liquid metal my Titan Xp and my SLI Poseidon 1080ti.
ive done this twice once with my 980 gtx and now my 1080ti to get better results apply it to the heatsync also their is a small amount of oxidization that happens when applying it this help create a better seal. just make them very thin.
Did you apply it to both sides and not just the IHS? Might want to try redoing it if so. GamerNexus did an episode about liquid metal and his results show both the die and the IHS need liquid metal applied to it do to the surface tension property that liquid metal has.
I think he may have made a mistake. Your suppose to scrub the cooler with the brillo pad so that both surfaces are wet. If you apply Metal Compound in the wrong way, it will not perform at it's very best.
Put liquid metal on my Titan X with a water block. Dropped 15C. It scales with the thermal capacity of your cooling solution. Better cooler nets a bigger drop.
Not really when comparing heatsinks. Thermal capacity of your cooler largely determines overall cooling performance when it comes to thermally saturated heatsinks provided ambient temperature and airflow are at optimal levels. Stock vapor chamber cooler is already thermally saturated and cannot absorb much more heat than the stock paste gives it, so no big temp drop with better TIM. Large heatsink or water block has thermal capacity to spare so the extra heat delivered by the liquid metal can be dissipated.
Again, I was referring specifically to gpu heatsinks which are already designed for maximum surface area for their size and was comparing the tiny blower card vapor chamber heatsink to a better one in relation to applying better thermal compound. Blower cooler gets rapidly thermally saturated, water-cooled one or big one does not.
it makes no sense why they stopped the titan range from being released by AIB partners! Their coolers suck ass, they would have to be stupid as fuck to not know that they are gimping their own cards!
Using a copper heatsink with the vapor chamber will definitely improve thermal dissipation. Aluminum is not a great conductor of heat and in return does not dissipate as well as copper. In a perfect world, a silver heatsink would be ideal, but not very cost effective for the manufacturer.
It dropped my hybrid TXP 6 degrees with 2 F12s push pull @2.1Ghz when compared to stock evga hybrid temps. Goodbye throttling:) Max 45 degrees full load with 20 degree ambient.
My 2080 ti ek waterblock 43 degrees with thermalright tfx paste, after replace this, my 2080 ti with conductonaut thermal grizzly temp is 30 degrees on 2100mhz and memory clock at 8400mhz. Ok, i have custom loop 4 radiators and 16 fan ek furious vardar, bit incredible temp!
I picked one of these up used for my girlfriends rig the other day and am thinking about doing the LM swap. I’m not sure if the backplate traps in heat or not but it sure looks like it does, being non vented plastic and all - I removed the back plate off of it like I did with my old blower style Vega in hopes that it’d shed off a few degrees
I didn’t really get a chance to test both configurations in any satisfactory way but It seemed like thermals improved very slightly though if you prefer the look with the backplate I don’t think it’s makes enough of difference to impact the cards performance
I wondered the same thing but when I used conductonaut on my r9 390 i emailed them and they said I only need to apply it to the gpu as you want as little a layer as possible
Quite few years late here got the full titan xp back in 2017 and still got it looking to drop the temps and wondering is it not a Aluminum heat sync is it safe for liquid metal?
Hello from Germany and sorry for my bad english, maybe you can connect one or more 14 cm pc fans (intake pc case) through an air-tunnel to the air-input of the titan or any videocard like that. I hope you understand. (Maybe you have to disconnect the fan of the titan, so it cannot work as an generator) Thanks and have a nice time. The Wizzard Rincewind
When you are overclocking the gpu with MSI Afterburner, are you just letting the benchmark software loop? This whole time I have been stopping it and running it with each change.
Have you tried with a GTX 1080 Founders Edition? With its lower tdp it probably won't totally saturate the heatsink with heat like the Titan X. Also is the vapor chamber nickel plated? Or is it aluminum? Hopefully it's nickel!
No, why id use that? Im using maximum performance and everything runs smooth even on ultra getting 144fps on most games. The thing is other gpus with maximum performance won't exceed 70º@@ahmetakgun7709
Damm, They make looks like 3 titans. The 2015 model, the 2016 model, and the 2017 xp model. I have a chance to buy a one in good shape its a the modle that says titan x on it I think thats the 2016 model. Is that a better card than the evga ftw3
Good video! I am wondering, will Liquid Metal fix my thermals on my GTX 980 Ti Gigabyte G1 edition ? .. What do you think? I get 60C on OC/NonOC .. sometimes 65C. Idle is like 40C.. weird
Rexazor Why is that weird? The card shut the fans off at idle, so 40c is normal. 65C load is not too bad either, but since your card should have a copper coldplate on the die, you could give liquid metal a shot.
great video, but i would bump the volume on the music down a bit
Dave sure thing. What parts of the video were too loud. I'll take some reference points.
2:20 is pretty annoying. You are speaking about technical things so I think you should lower the music a bit so people can understand better what you say. Plus for a ADHD like me it's just plain torture.
Agreed... bump it all down to 0, except for his talking. I had to mute that shit, while he was working, and hope he didn't to say something while i had that crap muted!
better music would help ALOT
Until this comment music wasnt distubing to me mate... cheees

is delidding the 6700k worth it? are you seeing results? i think im gonna do the same to mine
Oh hell yes it is WORTH it. At least it is in my eyes. I was just shocked at just how little TIM Intel uses (the quality of the material is something left to be desired as well), there was barely anything between the TIM and the IHS.

i see a 5-10c decrease with a lot less spiking temps
You have to put the Liquid Metal in the cooler too, otherwise, it won't transfer heat the way it's supposed to.
Not to use in aluminium.
Mate seriously i have veryyyy very less subscribe on tech pages in this platform you have less words more action keep going.
Did you apply it to both sides and not just the IHS? Might want to try redoing it if so. GamerNexus did an episode about liquid metal and his results show both the die and the IHS need liquid metal applied to it do to the surface tension property that liquid metal has.
Won't that Conductonaut destroy the aluminum vapor chamber?
Wilhiem Snitzle yes it's would
Wilhiem Snitzle rip titan
No, the Titan X cooler is nickel plated copper, with alum fins on top. It's safe
You should say that on the video.
google
You can get 3rd party coolers, they are called 'Full cover waterblocks' lol :D
I think he may have made a mistake. Your suppose to scrub the cooler with the brillo pad so that both surfaces are wet. If you apply Metal Compound in the wrong way, it will not perform at it's very best.
I think you need far more subs for your videos. Very well made!
hi, beast from x-men :)
very nice video. im gonna put liquid metal on my 1070.
Cool video was expecting at least -8 degrees interesting results.
I think, it would be better to wait 5-6 hours and then to bench again. Thats my experience with liquid metal.
Put liquid metal on my Titan X with a water block. Dropped 15C. It scales with the thermal capacity of your cooling solution. Better cooler nets a bigger drop.

Blower cooler gets rapidly thermally saturated, water-cooled one or big one does not.
The surface on that heatsink was pretty rough looking! I would do some lapping to get better heat transfer... could save another 2-3 degrees easily.
I wonder how cool this card would run with Kraken G12 and Kraken x62 liquid cooling with liquid metal on it
I was thinking it was the cooler as well lol. It's pretty small and just felt it never had the surface area or mass to allow better heat dissipation.
it makes no sense why they stopped the titan range from being released by AIB partners! Their coolers suck ass, they would have to be stupid as fuck to not know that they are gimping their own cards!
Using a copper heatsink with the vapor chamber will definitely improve thermal dissipation. Aluminum is not a great conductor of heat and in return does not dissipate as well as copper. In a perfect world, a silver heatsink would be ideal, but not very cost effective for the manufacturer.
Thanks i was thinking about doing this to my titan when i saw your last video
Nice video! Could you test this on a hybrid water cooled card? I would be very interested to see the results.
It dropped my hybrid TXP 6 degrees with 2 F12s push pull @2.1Ghz when compared to stock evga hybrid temps. Goodbye throttling:) Max 45 degrees full load with 20 degree ambient.
Hi!.Where can I find the computer case from the movie?
My 2080 ti ek waterblock 43 degrees with thermalright tfx paste, after replace this, my 2080 ti with conductonaut thermal grizzly temp is 30 degrees on 2100mhz and memory clock at 8400mhz. Ok, i have custom loop 4 radiators and 16 fan ek furious vardar, bit incredible temp!
good stuff man
I picked one of these up used for my girlfriends rig the other day and am thinking about doing the LM swap. I’m not sure if the backplate traps in heat or not but it sure looks like it does, being non vented plastic and all - I removed the back plate off of it like I did with my old blower style Vega in hopes that it’d shed off a few degrees
What results did you see with the backplate removal?
I didn’t really get a chance to test both configurations in any satisfactory way but It seemed like thermals improved very slightly though if you prefer the look with the backplate I don’t think it’s makes enough of difference to impact the cards performance
Im going to apply this stuff to my 2 GTX 1080's with an EK Waterblock. My GPU's will be chill as fuck.
Any idea on the thermal pad thickness for this card?
I did not see you apply any liquid metal to the cooler. The manufacturer says to put it on the die and the cooler base plate.
ZZstaff I did that, I just didn't show it.
If you look closely when I remount you can see I have some on there.
I wondered the same thing but when I used conductonaut on my r9 390 i emailed them and they said I only need to apply it to the gpu as you want as little a layer as possible
2 years later, the aluminum fins disintegrate.
Quite few years late here got the full titan xp back in 2017 and still got it looking to drop the temps and wondering is it not a Aluminum heat sync is it safe for liquid metal?
I would really want to be putting some kapton tape over those little SMDs around the die.
Wouldn't be comfortable having liquid metal around those.
How in the mother of all fux do you only have 7000 subs?
Hello from Germany and sorry for my bad english,
maybe you can connect one or more 14 cm pc fans (intake pc case) through an air-tunnel to the air-input of the titan or any videocard like that.
I hope you understand. (Maybe you have to disconnect the fan of the titan, so it cannot work as an generator)

Amazing video
Well, mine is 40º in desktop and 90º playing... stock paste. Don't know if I should open it and change the paste.
Those temps are a little too high. Titan X shouldn't exceed 85C while gaming. Have you tried setting power usage to optimal in nvidia control panel?
No, why id use that? Im using maximum performance and everything runs smooth even on ultra getting 144fps on most games. The thing is other gpus with maximum performance won't exceed 70º@@ahmetakgun7709
Soo some people are telling me to applying it on both sides...
Good results considering it's a founders. Btw what mouse are you using?
jdj9 hey! On which system? Test bench is a Sentinel 3 and my main system us a G900 chaos spectrum
Sentinel 3 thanks :)
The problem here is the heatsink heat wall.
Did you clean and apply the conductonaut on the vapor chamber?
Would doing this with regular MX-4 thermal paste also improve temps? Or is the stock thermal paste fine for regular paste?
Damm, They make looks like 3 titans. The 2015 model, the 2016 model, and the 2017 xp model. I have a chance to buy a one in good shape its a the modle that says titan x on it I think thats the 2016 model. Is that a better card than the evga ftw3
That heat sink doesn't look like copper to me
Nickel plated cooper base, fins are aluminium
can you make one of these videos on a water cooled card. Like the EVGA Hybrid 1080 Ti
I think I heard this music in a BoostedBoiz time lapse too a few weeks ago. lol.
Well, the cooler is junk so a 4 degree drop is impressive. (As the author said)
Hii.. ☺☺Is it safe to use Liquid Metal over long period of time i.e. 3 to 5 years?? 👍😁
Wish I could buy that liquid metal here in South Africa
So what's a decent temp for a 1070FTW?
what if you apply the paste on the metal heat spreader of the cooler also?
i did only that! not on gpu, just on copper. risky but it helped my hd 6970 temps 85c> 70c. next, on 6850 i did both ;)
Did you control for fan speed?
How about titan V
I’ll send you my Asus Strix 1070 if you wanna test it out? Next liquid metal a PS3 or PS4.
You're using too much TIM. You should be getting a much better drop if you were putting on the appropriate amount.
Better use separate 8pin cables rather than one splitted into 2. JayzTwoCents tested it, overclocks better.
i tried on my 1080ti and the clock is the same.
ODIO POWER depends on the power supply.
That should only apply using a multi rail PSU. Single rail shouldn't make any difference at all.
music is good
If you have bought a gt 730 like I did, you wouldn’t had any temp problems
+Richard Umlauf or any high fps problems....
Good video! I am wondering, will Liquid Metal fix my thermals on my GTX 980 Ti Gigabyte G1 edition ? .. What do you think?
I get 60C on OC/NonOC .. sometimes 65C.
Idle is like 40C.. weird
Rexazor Why is that weird? The card shut the fans off at idle, so 40c is normal. 65C load is not too bad either, but since your card should have a copper coldplate on the die, you could give liquid metal a shot.
My Fan speed are custom, right now they are at 70% fan speed, it hits 55-60 it goes 100%
Rexazor 65c is good temp. I would replace the thermal paste if it was over 75c-80c
Is it a "lid" on the GPU as there are on processors?
No..no heatspreader.
жидкий металл под действием воздушного потока может стечь! и проявится это через 1-2 недели! Что приведет к росту температуры!
will thermal grizzly kryonaut work on copper?
Yep, just keep it off aluminum. Under 80c max load or it dries out, and put liquid electrical tape around the die on those tiny capacitors.
Smithy Smit thanks
so I can put this compound on my evga 980ti
What is the name of the song starting at 5:35?

Liquid metal in the cooler? No apply? No correct method.
lol where is the stats
founders blower style sucks ! Do it again on a card with 2 or 3 fans !
bump bump bump bump....sorry, thats my pulse
Im having a good time with my intel g630 graphics and a 2gb ram :)
EK water block....
That's way to much liquid metal
too much liquid metal!
Whats that sonnngggg?
Which one, there are 5 diff ones in the vid

I'll try ;)
Где цифры?
Yep blower coolers suck!!!!
bro aluminium is not an metal that you shoul you use with liquid metal
Really??? I think in normal condition gtx titan x to be load in 1hour over 83 C! Not 79 C like this video! Lier
