So I was looking at this article: http://
I saw that the aformentioned Pad seemed pretty great except for the fact that it needed to be heated up to lilke 140 degrees. Even so, I wanted to use it with my pentium G3258. But I wasn't sure if it would be compatible with the temperatures. Will it work?

At 140C you'll fry your pentium

Darn. Is it possible to put the cooling pad on the CPU without putting it in the motherboard and heat the pad up with something like a hair drier, or to pre heat the pad seperately and put it on the cpu after the pad has been heated?

Hi
Where did you get the 140 degrees information,according to the manual it is 58 degrees

Right if we go by the manuals 58C then it is well within what your cpu will stand.
What will happen is that the first time you power on the cpu after using this and fitting the heatsink is that the cpu temp will rise to about 58C then the metal pad will liquefy and from then on proper cooling will occur and the cpu temp will be kept at a minimum.

BTW can I use aluminum heatsinks with the MetalPad? I heard you can't use aluminum with the liquid metal (non-pad version)

I think you should avoid aluminum with these pads as they can cause corrosion to the aluminum.

Well those ones would be great buy they are made of aluminum. So what non-aluminum sub 30$ coolers would you recommend?

The coolermaster n520 has a copper base which is what the liquid metal pad comes in contact with and so would work fine,however if you want an all copper cooler try this

Does the Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo have a non-aluminum base? I'd get a n520 except it doesn't have a bracket for lga 1150.

I'm pretty sure it has an aluminum base,try googling copper based cpu heatsink and you will probably find one that will work possibly from ebay,i'm from UK so cannot easily access American sites.

In the end, I decided to go with the liquid metal pad. I ordered this cooler: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JSFZPS/ref=oh_au.... I got it a bit cheaper, at 33.49 used, just without the thermal paste. I haven't installed it yet, so I may update later. For future reference for viewers, if you are looking for a non aluminium cooler, get a Zalman cooler. On Newegg they have generally good reviews. When ordering them, I recommend ordering from amazon used.
