Thank you for making one of the only piece of content i could find comparing conductonaut and conductonaut extreme Youre very knowledgeable and good at explaining what you do and why you do it You've earned a sub from me!
Hello sir thank you for your video ; i'm french and i have some problems to understand all. Quickly can we say the Conductonaut Extreme is better than the Conductonaut (normal) version ?
How long ago did you applied the original conductonaut before running the first test you've showed? Can you run the same test on the aged conductonaut extreme?
Everyone is like "it will dry out after 1 year" but I delided my old i5 like 5 years ago and used some cheap liquid metal (not thermal grizzly) and it still works absolutely fine after years.
@@DiabloSsj3 nickel plated is best. Copper will be fine, but some of the gallium will seep into it and I have never heard of or personally experienced issues with using it with copper heatsinks. I find it amusing when people say not to use copper, yet people are delidding their CPUs and replacing the OEM heat spreader with a copper one, and using Liquid Metal between the die and the heatsink. People like to fear monger and spread misinformation. Always do additional research and get more than one opinion.
Exactly what I was looking for, Thanks for the video ! Was doing some research and I cant wait to have it and start testing it on my 3080 with custom loop.. probably will shuntmod the card when disassemble it. Pretty sure will see much wider gap in temps overall :D Subbed !
Hello, it is a great video. Thanks for your efforts. You don't understand the difference between Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut vs Conductonaut Extreme. I am using 14700K and Noctua D15S, which one do you recommend? By the way, I won't do any evidence. Will it help if I apply thermal paste?
Just curious, the red spot on the left index finger, is that from soldering iron or delidding razor, or something else? Also thanks for the Liquid metal application advice.
Thank you for this video. I just bought some Conductonaut Extreme for the new system I'm building. The information on Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme appears to be relatively sparse. I was considering just using it for my new CPU, but now you've convinced me I should also try this with my new GPU.
my 5950x and 3080ti have had a 2 year old liquid metal application. still running strong. going to replace it with the extreme stuff to see how it handles. curious to see how it handles colder temps though. if the device is off. it would freeze.
could you try applying it to a non-delidded cpu to see if it has the same cooling effect as on the gpu? Also, if you advise against using the small liquid metal application tip, how do you advise to apply the liquid metal? Good video otherwise and thanks for making a review on thermal grizzly conductonaut extreme!
I covered my recommended way of applying the liquid metal in the video. Perhaps your skipped it? As far as applying it over a CPU IHS, yes it will have a good effect. But it is more risky as the odds are higher that the liquid metal could spill over other components, like your GPU.
This is the material here and the link to where I buy it from here in Norway: www.vpg.no/Swix-Fibertex-Violet/127225/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkeSsBhDUARIsAK3tiecqxoPiRnO6X893DSMYotLRFiz_ZycayCt06BT3Rj30RsRNJWKx1AkaAhwzEALw_wcB
I do not include anything pink in the video. If you mean the purple stuff over the SMD's, that is nail polish used to protect from any liquid metal run.
At 23:30 you have a little jar of pink stuff that you proceed to spread about the processor. I'm not talking about the protective coating on the sides.@@TechnologyHive
@@TechnologyHive Ok, thanks for clearing that up as I thought it was only a 2 product comparison. You wouldn't happen to know any in-stock sources of copper IHS for 14th Gen Intel would you? I've never really considered LM before but after watching good videos like yours I'm actually excited to try it. Also need a contact plate from what I've seen on here. I knew the install felt wrong with the insane amount of pressure to latch down the CPU.
@@JC-cs2gs Why not just lap the stock IHS? It is just nickel-plated copper after all. Once you lap it, it will give you same or better results as any other copper IHS. But if you insist, you can buy them here: rockitcool.myshopify.com/products/copper-ihs-kit-intel-12th-gen
definitely do not recommend, almost killed my rog scar 15 2021 with rtx3070 and 5900hx, why? A:) because it's my first time applying liquid metal B:) i applied a little too much C:) no it did not cross over the sponge and silicon barrier made by asus, but i overestimated the silicon made by asus, the liquid metal managed to pass through under the silicon where there is some gap that it reached the small transistor in the cpu area, so it shorted and it does not boot only have rgb and leds luckily i cleaned few times and it booted up again after scraping the silicon barrier off and revealed the liquid at the transistor of cpu, it does not worth the risk and hassle for me, thermal paste like artic mx6 has far longer life span and is safe and easy to apply
@@TechnologyHive I dont think it really made a huge differance between PTM7950, when playing Tiny Tina my GPU is 72-73 C on 150w and my CPU is at 62-64 C on 20W. I think with PTM it was 74 C on GPU I think? One thing I m sure is fan speed reduced on load.
you notice the difference mainly on cpu's that pull insane power like current gen intel. i put it on my 4090 thats mounted with an alphacool waterblock and somehow it does not scale at all, it's all in all maybe 5C cooler which does nothing, so basically not worth for gpu's
Only problem with your video is actually CZcams. By putting the next video you "may" want to watch 10 seconds before you show the Graph and covering the results so no one can see/read them. Probably have done better by showing the graph with a transparent background, maybe? during the fly through at around 40.00 mins, while your doing your roundup/summary (2 minutes before the end).
Liquid metal DOES NOT corrode copper. It fuses with copper and creates a stain, which is non-corrosive. In fact, this does not affect the thermal conductivity of copper whatsoever. This stain is harmless.

I do not recommend liquid metal TIM's over cpu ihs. I would stick with paste. MX-6 would be my choice. You can also go with Kryosheet by Grizzly. Both are great products imo.
@@brenosilvabarros I do not recommend liquid metal TIM over IHS because the chances of a runoff are high. If this happens, and you have an M.2 SSD right below the CPU or a dedicated GPU, the liquid metal will spill over these and potentially kill them. I have had a few graphics cards come in for repair due to this same issue and this is not an easy repair. I would stick to using liquid metal TIM's over die's only. Like a de-lidded cpu or a GPU with a copper or nickel plated base heat sink.

The really long format video is not popular but as general guide there are so many gems one can pickup from it beside only end results.👍🏻👍🏻
I appreciate the feedback! And thanks for watching :)
Hello sir thank you for your video ; i'm french and i have some problems to understand all. Quickly can we say the Conductonaut Extreme is better than the Conductonaut (normal) version ?
Yes. In short, Conductonaut Extreme does perform better.
How long ago did you applied the original conductonaut before running the first test you've showed? Can you run the same test on the aged conductonaut extreme?
This was weeks apart. So not long.
Everyone is like "it will dry out after 1 year" but I delided my old i5 like 5 years ago and used some cheap liquid metal (not thermal grizzly) and it still works absolutely fine after years.
They just don't know what they're talking about 👍🏼
It completely depends on what the material is of the CPU cooler.
@@AlaskanGamerGuy And what material is good for using liquid metal?

Key words "old i5"
Liquid metal is for high end high frequency processors not Dino CPUs
Nice to see there's still improvements that can be made. I'll probably grab the conductonaut extreme with my upgrade

This was TG Conductonaut, the regular one, not the extreme version.
@@TechnologyHive is extreme is better than this
@@wwecomedy9125 Not by much. I'd stay with the original conductonaut.
@@TechnologyHive so original conductonaut is better than extreme
bro can we use this stuff also for laptop gpu and cpu?
I wouldn't recommend it for laptops or mobile devices as this stuff can run off with shock. But yes, you can use it. I just do not recommend it.
definitely do not recommend, almost killed my rog scar 15 2021 with rtx3070 and 5900hx, why?
A:) because it's my first time applying liquid metal
B:) i applied a little too much
C:) no it did not cross over the sponge and silicon barrier made by asus, but i overestimated the silicon made by asus, the liquid metal managed to pass through under the silicon where there is some gap that it reached the small transistor in the cpu area, so it shorted and it does not boot only have rgb and leds
luckily i cleaned few times and it booted up again after scraping the silicon barrier off and revealed the liquid at the transistor of cpu, it does not worth the risk and hassle for me, thermal paste like artic mx6 has far longer life span and is safe and easy to apply
I prefer to do nickel electro-plating on copper cold plate.
That would be nice to have the space and know-how for that.
Sony managed to use gallium liquid metal without too much trouble in the PS5 APU.
Quite impressive.
I wonder if you got the PS5?
I do not own any consoles. All pc here 🙂.
Great video, thank you for the work.
Thank you for watching!
I will apply this to my 3070 Ti laptop and see how it will make a differance.

I'll go and take a look at that. It would defeat the purpose if you can't see the graphs.
Done. I hope that's better. Thanks for catching that.
The problem with liquid metal is that it corrodes aluminum and also copper , I would personally stay away from it , plus the risk of short circuit.
Liquid metal DOES NOT corrode copper. It fuses with copper and creates a stain, which is non-corrosive. In fact, this does not affect the thermal conductivity of copper whatsoever. This stain is harmless.
True copper stays intact , so you could probably get rid of the stain on copper with a polish product lol
@@sithounetsith9877 No. There is no need to polish it or sand it to try and removed the stain. Makes no difference, aside from esthetics.
There is a video of a 4 year test with liquid metal proving there is no corrosion.
Money grab...
If nothing else :)
