The liquid metal thermal paste is a niche market after all. You cannot expect a large scale factory manufacturer to paste with this expensive high end paste. Plus, when applying the paste, you have to worry about not splitting outside the die as well. All these are not so welcome to mass manufacturing.

first of all it must not be put on both sides but must be applied in the same way as applying the thermal paste, then you must surround the whole die with the tg shield, an enamel that is applied around the die and then insert the metal while if you got ass you can buy the cpu guard for amd processors

Brought my Alienware 17 R4 with a 7820 HK, and GTX 1080 to the following temps Before CPU MAX: 89 C GPU MAX: 92 C (massive thermal throttling) After CPU MAX: 69 C GPU MAX: 75 C Ambient room temperature is around 75 F I'm very impressed with the CPU, but I'm not sure if I should be with the GTX 1080. I've heard people getting temps like that for the gpu with the stock thermal paste (sometimes as low as 69). I know my GPU temps dropped about 15-17 C, but I also feel like that is what the temps should have been in the first place. Should I go in again and add more liquid metal? Thanks.

Hello. I think that's normal. I also put liquid metal on my CPU and GPU of my laptop. Max CPU temp before the liquid metal was 95 and after applying the liquid metal the max was 80, which is 15 drop. But I didn't check the GPU temps before applying the liquid metal so I can't say what's the drop there. Anyway, the laptop began loading faster thanks to the lower temps. ;)

Should get some Artic Clean. I know most people just use the rubbing alcohol but it really does make a large difference. Don't need to use 5 coffee filters folded over 100 times and its just a lot quicker. Two-three drops and it dissolves the paste within 3 seconds. Wipe off, couple drops of alcohol and you're done.
