Great video. Now I noticed how much protection you added so the liquid metal wont damage the gpu. I applied it when I got my unit without those protections. I'm happy that nothing went wrong when I changed it to thermal grizzly paste. The machine is outstanding so far.
Hi! for the GT75 titan, how thick should the foam barrier be? I'm considering on using liquid metal on it, I've seen linus tech tip use that coating + a thin electrical tape to prevent damages just in case the liquid metal does leak out. I'm so sorry for having so many questions but I really love this titan and here in the Philippines, I can really say that there are only a few owner of the GT75 titan which is moded by HIDevolution. hope to hear from you soon! love your content!
Thanks and welcome :) The foam barrier needs to be roughly 3-4mm thick and the foam must be very very soft. You shouldn't use dense foam. In my experience acoustic foam from the audio enthusiasts is fine. But make sure it got no initial mechanical resistance when you push your finger into it. It must be soft to the touch. Best practice would be to visit a audio HiFi store yourself and ask for soft foam. It's quite cheap. You can cut the foam with a cutter knife to a smaller sheet.
Great content as usual! Was wondering which topic you were going to cover this time. It's really sad that XMG and their counterparts simply ignored any upgrade path to this model whatsoever.
Thanks! Well XMG wanted to get a BIOS update, but they rely on their ODM. XMG got no BIOS development devision. However, their ODM is not able to deliver a BIOS update. Check Link: www.reddit.com/r/XMG_gg/comments/n4i3x2/update_thread_about_zen_3_in_xmg_apex_15_with_am4/
@@TechModLab yep. I do follow this thread already (great contributions, especially by you btw! 👏🏻), but their sales pitch of this device has always been "a desktop replacement".. well, it is, if you want to get stuck to up to AMD 3000 series.
Great video along with a great series, not seen anyone else doing anything similar. I saw that Sony were using liquid metal as a thermal interface in the PS5, getting some technical specifics from them is presumably impossible but has anyone done any analysis of the PS5's heatsink coating? I assume Sony did the research before deciding to go ahead with this.
Yep they probably got a better nickel plating process. I still suspect my nickel plating was contaminated during the plating process. At least it's strange that it does react that much after 11 months. A little reaction is normal though.
What are those foam like material which you used as barriers for CPU and GPU ?? Can you please provide the buying links of the same ?? Would be thankful to you.. 🙂🙂
i came to same conclusion with my zehyrus G14, it had nickel plated CPU heatsing part, i nickled plated GPU part, after 3 months, temps got bad rly fast for gpu, it looked much worse, all liquid metal was gone, hard as rock, i tried LM second time, same result, 3-4 months , i quit it , put MX4 and its fine ... same result with delided 7700k , lapped the sh mirror of it, putted mx4 and after 3 yers still good temps
Awe man that sucks. In the future are you gonna delid ur cpu? Crazy idea but you could completely delete the CPU cover and mod the heatsink so it would fit. But that would take way too much effort. Plus idk how you would remove the solder completely of the CPU die.
You make a excellent videos please make more i will subscribe and ı want a more heatsink modification videos please ı have a 3060 laptop and it goes up to 98 degrees celcius sometimes ı want to reduce the temperatures can you help me? And if you cant help me eighter you make a perfect videos make more video i will watch it
LM is only working on copper! first you must apply the LM on the copper, than wait 1h and apply LM again. than on to the Die and put it tougether ✌🏻 than its working for a looooong time.

This is amazing!! I'm trying to nickel-plate the heatsink for my razer blade 15, thank you for these amazing videos

very good friend the video, do you always use your laptop at the table, or do you carry it in your backpack?
hugs from Brazil
Yep I have transported it daily for 6 months. No leaks. The foam barrier is a solid idea.
I thought that LM was supposed to be very durable at least if done correctly since thats what they are using with the ps5?

Maybe the nickel plating was not so good or too thin. Have you tried the honeywell PTM7950 thermo pads??
Not yet actually! Too bad, it looks very promising. Will try it out after my new project. Next video will be sick :D
Where did you get that foam? I can't find it. I looked on AliExpress and Amazon
It's acoustic foam. You can find it in audio stores.
Would it be worth doing this to a 1660 TI equiped version of this laptop?

Sehr interessant
Thanks)
Electrical plating is much better, as it goes deeper
Might be worth a try. Thanks for the hint!

That's not true. LM usually works on nickel plated copper very well.
