Hi guys, i was just wondering if its worth changing my laptops thermal paste to liquid metal? And as to how thick or viscous liquid metal is, as I imagine id need it to be sorta thick so it wouldn’t spill out when it is moved (not that the laptop gets moved that much)

Or is it worth going for just normal thermal paste? At the moment im using it for VR and even with a very good cooling pad my cpu seems to reaching upwards of 90 degrees (not sure how accurate fpsvr is but yeah)

I saw theres also like the thermal grizzly conductive pad which is like still 5 times better than normal paste, should i get that?

    Risky, and corrodes aluminum.

    Repaste, undervolt, lift back of laptop is a better choice
