Does the Predator Helios Neo PHN16-72-93NZ GPU use liquid metal or Thermal paste?

Anasnarooeii

I own a Predator Helios Neo 16, model PHN16-72-93NZ.
On the official sticker and product description, it clearly states that the CPU uses liquid metal and the system is equipped with 5th Gen AeroBlade fans.

My question is specifically about the GPU on this exact model:

Does the GPU also use liquid metal as the thermal interface?

Or does it rely on a different solution (such as standard thermal paste or a phase-change pad like Honeywell PTM7950)?

I’ve seen some discussions about the PHN16-71 and other Neo models, but I need confirmation for th PHN16-72-93NZ in particular.

Thanks in advance for any clarification!

i Anasnarooeii,

Thanks for raising the question about the Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-72-93NZ. Based on the official sticker and product description, this model confirms the use of liquid metal on the CPU and features 5th Gen AeroBlade fans for system cooling.

For the GPU thermal interface, there is no indication that liquid metal is used. Acer typically applies one of the following:

• Standard thermal paste, which is common across most gaming laptops.
• Phase-change thermal pad, such as Honeywell PTM7950, used in some recent models.

Unless explicitly stated, liquid metal is reserved for the CPU only. The GPU heatsink likely uses a conventional solution optimized for safe long-term operation.

The GPU fan blades are plastic, consistent with the AeroBlade design that combines plastic structure with aerodynamic shaping for airflow efficiency.

At less than 2 years old, your unit shouldn’t require repasting unless there are signs of thermal degradation. Acer recommends repasting be done by their service centers to ensure proper materials and application.
