As always thank you for the video.... I also purchased 1g of Silver King. For years I have used Noctua NT-H1 and have always been impressed with the improvement in Temps. I decided to give this stuff a try.... More nerve racking than I was expecting. I have 2 gaming laptops both are i7 10th gen., one has an RTX 2070 (Acer Predator 17.3 inch mine) the other has the RTX 2070 Super (MSi Raider GE66 wife's). I replaced the factory grease in the Acer last year and have been happy with the results, 5-10 degrees accross the board with no thermal throattling or voltage changes. The MSi on the other hand is a hot plate.... Reaching as high as 94c on the CPU and 80c on the GPU. I am pretty sure this is where the CPU begins to throattle. I tried your way buy adding the electrical tape using an Exacto Knife. I believe it's there cooler design as my cooling temps were all over the place. I tried to re-tape, same thing. I was not comfortable removing the liquid metal so a friend of mine gave me another idea. I removed the tape and used a clear coat liquid nail protector.... It worked..... These improvements are almost the same as my Preditor using really good HTG..... Im really debating if I want to use the Liquid metal on the Predator. CPU Idle - High 58c to 49c / Unigine (2 hours) High 94c to 84c GPU idle - High 51c to 49c / Unigine (2 hours) High 80c to 75c
You are welcome and congrats on your lower temperatures. I recently made a fan replacement video on the Acer Nitro 5. After this thermal test I removed the liquid metal from the machine. During the replacement I saw pitting on the heatsink that seems to be growing. I just wanted to let you know. I'm not sure if Acer uses pure copper or some kind of alloy but its not good. You can see in this video. ua-cam.com/video/KItYeLmy_Ag/v-deo.html Just keep an eye on it.
@@Meanpooh how did you remove it? It roles so you can't wipe... Scares me a little. Also i don't feel they used enough of the liquid memory cooling material. I have seen the pads but not the liquid... EDIT.... The video link you sent answered my last questions thanks K5 pro it is.
I used a cotton swab. I kept rolling it around and it eventually started to come up. It takes a few minutes. When there was just residue remaining, I used a paper towel by gently dabbing at the surface. Finally I used alcohol in the paper towel to finish up. As you can see once it’s applied it really never leaves. I guess when I was running those benchmarks, the liquid metal started to react with the help of heat. Even when I removed all I could, and also in this video, there is always a dark residue that comes off.
For beginners, I would like to point out that he did add a bit too much in both the CPU and GPU in this video. There should not be an bleed over to the tapes when you are applying. Also, use high heat resistant tape around the CPU and/or GPU and keep it there when you mount the heat sink, it will not affect performance. This will make spillage, if any, much safer as the metal will not touch any capacitors or components at least around the CPU/GPU.
Thanks for sharing. I noticed that but I repasted the heatsink and the CPU and GPU with that one drop. Over the course of the test I removed and applied it 4 times before I finally recorded the values. This could be a bad batch and will try Conductonaut.
Thank you so much 😀. Far from genius though but I do alright. Im dissapointed in the results and really looking forward to theThermall Grizzly Conductonaut.
Thank you so much for this great video, I was wondering if its safe to keep another layer of electric tape after the application of liquid metal as some say that it helps in preventing the liquid metal going near the system?
@@Meanpooh will definitely use your guide for future reference. thank you so much! its hard here in our place cause there arent alot of people who have dived in on this topic. will practice first on my older laptop to get a hang of it. also I found a guide how to unlock the bios on my GE75 raider but most articles that Ive read said that even at -.50 undervolt, theres a 5% chance that it may freeze the laptop.
Hope you can make a videos wherein you step by step disassemble your laptop and replace the stocks paste with kryonaught. Specifically this model, since this model is just spreading across the world right now. Thanks and more powers!!!
Hi! Yesterday i watched your video about repaste on Acer Nitro 5. I just replaced my Nitro 5 AN515-52 with Artic paste but nothing changed. Do you know why? I guess i have some issue too as if I plugging my charger the heat around 60-70c (only browsing) while unplugged its only 50c (only browsing). Thankyou
I suggest you to do the re-paste process again. This time, spend more time to clean as much as possible and don't forget to clean the old paste on the heatsink and the chips before you re-apply the new paste. (One more thing: don't clean the small vram chips near your gpu, leave them as it is)
I no longer gave Liquid Metal on this machine and currently use Honeywell PTM. You can put liquid metal on both CPU and GPU but be warned that it will start to deform your heatsink and deface lettering from your die.
hi, if i got i7 10750h , gtx 1660ti and repaste (nitro 5) .. do you think i would get good results too? or i7 would be still hot in any case unlike i5 ?
@@Meanpooh i was gonna say it can damage things long term but thankfully its just a test. Do some gaming benchmarks(atleast 1-2 videos) then go too ol' reliable thermal paste.
Hi can you not overclock the 1650 Ti. I have tried on my one and I can't seem to change any of the settings every time I do it just goes back to default this is the system I've got.

I would stick to normal thermal compound. If this stuff gets in the wrong place, count your machine goodbye. It will discolor it and with the combination of heat it could possibly make small micro crevices in the long run.
@@Meanpooh yeah, i was thinking of undervolting but it looked too risky. if this stuff is also super dangerous i might just get the best thermal paste i can find
@Caneck Alvarez I dunno anything about mx-5, but I'll say this mx-4 isn't good for direct die applications like this. While it's not conductive it tends to degrade in performance quickly in these types of applications.
Can you give us a long term usage of this? Looks like this was posted a couple of years ago so I am curious how it has held up within that time. I bought the Silverking liquid metal.
I replaced the thermal grease about a month or so later I believe. I would have to find the video somewhere. When removed the heat sink and CPU, GPU was already being affected.
I am using acer nitro 5 10th gen core i7, 16 gb ram, 1660ti 6gb graphics. Today i played PES19 , temperature touch 92°C. I purchase my laptop 2 days ago. What should i do ?
You have a few options. You could: 1 Return it and try a different brand. 2 Repaste 3 Run using Power Saver profile. There is no undervolt support. I have been making videos on this machine since its release with every problem that I have encountered. There will be no way to fix this until the machines get thicker, fans get bigger and the CPU and GPU get more efficient. The faster they go, the more heat is produced.
Man this laptop is so cool because it doesn't drawn to much power. Every cpu that uses more than 60W it will reach 90°C.😊
True.

kryonaut is all !
Kryonaut is awesome.
Great review man. Wished you include on the process to like change the thermal pads for the newbies
I may do that in a future video and thank you!
You really did great everytime i watched ur Vids it's so very detailed and helpful thanks
Glad you like them!
I know I managed to do it. I think it's would help more if I got another stick of RAM because I've only got it in single channel
Yoy are a genius brooo!! Keep going like that!! 👍👍

Thank you so much for this great video, I was wondering if its safe to keep another layer of electric tape after the application of liquid metal as some say that it helps in preventing the liquid metal going near the system?
You want to keep it as thin as possible but still protect the open circuitry. If its too thick it may interfere with the heatsink contact.

thx
Kryonaut is sht. It will only lower your temps in the first month or so. Try and do a temp benchmark after 2 months and your 90c++ temps are back.
question did you put the fan on max with nitro sense or did you leave it on auto?
Its on Max.

@@thevidtowatch No problem! Glad that is fixed for you :)
Could you do a video on how to apply the k5 pro? It seems to be very messy compound, and was wondering how the application process would look like
ua-cam.com/video/J2qEv7y7cDg/v-deo.html
Which one you prefer kryonaut or silver king? I’m having the same nitro 5 specs like yours
Kryonaut.
Can i use liquid metal for gpu too? I have asus rog g533qs 3080. Thanks

Whoa, liquid cooling now
Just a test. So far It's not gonna be permanent.
@@Meanpooh i was gonna say it can damage things long term but thankfully its just a test. Do some gaming benchmarks(atleast 1-2 videos) then go too ol' reliable thermal paste.
Done.
Where i can buy these Pink thermal stuffs ? What is their name, i want to search it and buy it !
Sorry you left the scotch tape on the cpu and GPU?

It’s overclockable but max FPS gain that I have reached varied 1-3 FPS max.
i have this exact laptop, i might do this, but does it eventually destroy the heatsink?

@@largejoe2195 it can be risky. Getting the best thermal compound is better than the cheapest and can hold you over to better methods come around.
so you think the grizzly cryonaut would be good enough , not worth to use liquid metal
So far no. Not for a few degrees. Im gonna test more when the Conductonaut come in. Regardless, for the average gamer Kryonaut is best.
@Caneck Alvarez Thats a trusted brand and most likely be better than what is on the Nitro 5 stock.

If i use vaccum cooler on cpu fan, does it reduces the temperature?
@@asfakurrahman6211 That's what they are suppose to do but i've never tried that product.
Maybe i have to repaste my laptop :(
Thank you so much
Dude it’s definitely it the brand of liquid metal that’s the problem it’s all the same shit
Should I limit the power to the processor to decrease the cpu temperature?
You can do that and the temps will decrease at the expense of clock speed.
@@Meanpooh but i do that my clockspeed stay at 2.39Ghz and did this will affect the performance?
@@Meanpooh what can i do to decrease the temperature of cpu but doesn't affect the clockspeed?
If you are using 9th gen and below, you can undervolt and repaste.
@@Meanpooh buat im using 10th, what i supposed to do to decrease heat?
You didn't remove the cpu tape?
What CPU tape?
I mean you make a template out of super33+ then cover with heat sink does it burn? Or mabye add extra temp?
I assure you the tape is gone. If not the machine will shut down.
Thanks for replying it was hreat video 😁
Cooling much
not much as I would like. I think it would work better on desktop.
