    Finally someone came out and said it. I always believe the whole high performance expensive pads are completely unnecessary and go for cheap but highly compressible pads. Never had a problem!

    Having trouble saying the "F" word? ;)

    Fujipoly, and what's the point? Is Alphacool too expensive in comparison?

    FujiPoly don't want push for 14w/mk in its own name. They will make more money on their more expensive 17w/mk pads!! Their websites is miss leading. And the options find it and buying it on the web is small. Why should they advertise cheaper but better products as their 14w/mk?
    Components on laptop MB outside the cpu/gpu core haven't temp reading sensors. Even pch chips on some MB wouldn't show the temp.

    I'll look into @Mr. Fox , @Papusan opinions and get what's available here. Maybe I'll scout the city for some thermal pads. Problem is, I don't have vernier calipers for enhanced precision down to mm.

    I have the BIOS configured on the P870 to boot and run the 7700K at 5.2GHz with c-states disabled. Yes, I can actually use it like this with the right cooling tweaks in place. Here were the overnight idle temperatures. I stopped using it at 8:30 PM and got up at 3:30 AM. When I walked up to it and set down to start using it at 4:00 AM, here is what HWiNFO64 showed.

    And, after 3.5 hours of doing "normal" stuff like web browsing, email, etc. the temps are still fine at 5.2GHz. Overkill? Sure, totally. But, I can so I don't see any reason not to. The fans are on autopilot and they've not ramped up in speed or been audible since I began using the machine at 4:00 AM.

    So, I went ahead and used Conductonaut on my 1080 SLI setup and cut some nifty foam barriers to keep it from leaking out onto other stuff. I have Kapton tape covering the GPU components around the die, then put one drop of super glue on each side of the die to hold the foam in place on the Kapton tape. The foam is 1/8th inch and easily compressible so as to not interfere with heat sink to die contact. Temps turned out pretty nice. Never dropped below 1911 on core with the @Prema beta vBIOS. Nice compliment to the Bitspower IHS lap job.

    Don't be modest Mr. Fox, you can always share your videos with us.



    I like this idea than electrical tape, electrical tape looks primitive.

    I find this is a good way to cool your computer.

    The guy simply wastes food just for fun, if you watch his other videos in the channel.

    Edit: poor adjective choice.

    I disagree with the method, the application of food was uneven, and that might result in poor performance.

    They made efficient use of space for the cooling apparatus, however. Entire case filled with solid dihydrogen-oxide, and then submerged completely in its liquid form.

    That was my favorite part, all components coated equally for maximum cooling.

    The PC was in the cooling reservoir not the other way around.

    You can clean liquid metal off completely to make it look as it was before.

    Nice. I don't really use LM personally, but that's good to know anyway.

    Don't you offer some models with liquid metal?

    That's why it's good to know. Still don't really use it personally, though I might end up delidding whatever I replace my Haswell with so that may change.
