The well-known overclocker Roman Hartung (der8auer), also owner of the Thermal Grizzly cooling brand, has wanted to shed some light on how liquid metal evolves. Specifically, after remaining in contact for years with different types of metal surfaces. And in recent years the use of La entrada has become popular They test liquid metal for 2 years and discover what really happens on copper aparece primero en El Chapuzas Informática.
Long-Term Liquid Metal Tests Reveal Promising Longevity Despite Reactions
Responding to a question from a customer with a stained copper cold plate, modder and overclocker, Der8auer, has published an analysis of Thermal Grizzly's Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal thermal interface, revealing the long-term effects of the TIM. In the video, published to YouTube, Der8auer explains that the staining that can often be seen after the use of liquid metal TIMs is a simple reaction between the copper and gallium in the liquid …
After disassembling a cooler, instead of a shiny layer, a hard residue is often left behind, which is extremely difficult to remove. The latest experiment shows what actually happens to liquid metal. Liquid metal has been used by PC enthusiasts for years, especially in high-performance computers and gaming laptops. It provides very good thermal conductivity, but it can lose its properties over time. Roman […] The article "Liquid Metal Doesn't Dr…
Liquid Metal’s 2-Year Analysis Shows The TIM Has Excellent Thermal Conductivity, But Long-Term Performance Suffers Due To Chemical Reaction With Aluminum & Copper
For years, a multitude of companies have adopted liquid metal as their “go-to” Thermal Interface Material (TIM) for gaming laptops and other high-performance hardware to transfer heat effectively. Unfortunately, its long-term effects aren’t the prettiest sight, and we aren’t even referring to the fact that it’s difficult to apply or that it’s electrically conductive. A YouTuber has conducted a 2-year analysis, revealing that long-term performanc…
Experiment shows liquid metal TIM doesn’t dry out; it turns solid — two-year electron microscope test finds gallium bonds with copper coolers, and nickel plating keeps the layer about 10 times thinner
Der8auer’s two-year electron microscope test shows liquid metal’s gallium turns solid on copper and nickel-plated coolers.
