    Hello, everyone. What is the best liquid metal for (idk pure or not) copper heatsink? Phobya lm, coollaboratory liquid metalpad, coollaboratory liquid ultra, coollaboratory liquid pro or thermal grizzly conductonaut? I ve heard that conductonaut contains less gallium, so the copper wont absorb too much. Is it right? I personally think metal pad is most convenient, it is completed with thin copper pad, so by the logic its wont damage heatsink a lot. Also, i want to place 0,5 mm copper shim between gpu and heatsink, because in stock there is thick thermal pad.
