Applying Liquid Metal To PH317-55-71YX
I have a Helios 300 that has temp issues. I want to try using liquid metal instead of thermal paste. I've used liquid metal before and will take all the precautions (conformal coating on the SMDs surrounding the CPU and GPU dies and foam dams to prevent any possible leakage). I understand that the liquid metal will have to be reapplied after a few weeks to a few months due to the gallium in liquid metal plating the copper. My question: is the part of the heatsink contacting the CPU and GPU actually copper? It looks like it, but I would just like to confirm.
Also, if anyone has used liquid metal on there Predator Helios laptops, feel free to share your results.
