Liquid Metal without delid bad?

whopperhsu · Feb 20, 2018

Will I experience any issues with my threadripper non delid with liquid metal? I HAVE an xspc copper coldplate. A YouTube channel said yes but others say there will be corrosion on ihs is this true?

if unsure I would not even try. the differences in temp are not worth it.
I do know that different metals tend react. everything I have heard of liquid metal makes me want to avoid altogether.

Beheading a processor is highly not recommended.
The gain and the risk do not exactly match...a.k.a. it does not worth the risk

applying liquid metal between the IHS and the coldplate will give you couple of degrees at best.
since this particular CPU is very large, it would be better to use a decent thermal paste as it deals with non perfectly matching surfaces much better than the LM.
that not to mention risks associated with the electrical conductivity of the LM.
