I decided to upgrade my son's college laptop on my vacation. He has an Acer Predator Helios 300 and both the thermal temps and fan speeds were very high.
I created a quick tutorial on how to install Liquid Metal on the CPU and GPU and benchmarked the results. The Liquid Metal reduced the temps and fan speeds by 50%.
I have all the tools and materials you will need to install Liquid Metal.
Important Tip: The CPU chip has a very low profile and you can't have any overlapping layers of Scotch 33+ super electrical tape on the board. I made this mistake and the heatsink wouldn't make adequate contact with the CPU. I eventually figured out through trial and error that the overlapping tape was the issue.
WARNING: The Liquid Metal is conductive and will destroy your laptop if it makes contact with any electronic components on your motherboard. Proceed at your own risk.
