Hi,
I am using acer Aspire V 15 nitro vn7-571g-59zq, and i want to replace thermal paste on cpu and gpu. I am thinking about Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, but I am not sure, that the heatsink is not from aluminium. Can somebody tell me from what material is the heatsink made?

PS: Sorry for my English.

    Usually laptops' heatsinks are made out of copper, and your laptop isn't an exemption. I do not suggest you to apply liquid metal as it dries up(doesn't actually dry up but binds with the copper and hardens) quickly. Instead you can use kryonaut, which will have about the same effect and won't react chemically with the heatsink.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
