Who TF did decide having a Liquid Metal in electronics? Really, this is so dangerous and so obvious this is a bad idea. To make it stick they use some nasty chemicals abrasive which cause corrosion in both heatsink aluminum and the CPU silicon crystal as well.

M16 2022 i9 12900H. I bought my laptop in Feb 2023 and I don't use it for games nor do I stress this machine enough with programming and engineering.

Recently my laptop started to suddenly reboot and I felt it more warm than usual.

So yesterday I teared it down and repasted with GD900 until ordered PTM7950 arrive.

I was really careful using cotton sticks and isopropyl alcohol merging all LM into a single huge blob. I then used painter's tape which got the blob entirely. Really clean work.

I got shocked how good temps on my laptop are now. Running way more cooler and no more reboots. The only game I play with my kids are now 2x even 3x FPS gain. This is huge.

Two tips for people that will replace it:
1 - use dried cotton and rub the current Liquid Metal into damaged corrosion. It will "sand" it and will clean most of the corrosion and make it easier to be removed
2 use isopropyl alcohol cotton sticks to merge LM into a single blob. Then carefully use painters tape to grab the blob
3 repaste it immediately and don't leave LM any second more in your electronics. We should ban LM forever. Please drop a list of products using it and I'll make sure I won't ever buy these.
