Hi Folks,
Looking for advice of repasting the CPU and GPU on my AORUS X5v6. From the reviews I've read the Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra Thermal Paste seems to be most effective but is corrosive to certain metals (ALU)?
Would this be ok for my AORUS?
Also looking for some thermal pads for my 960 EVO SSD's to help with temps too.
Open to advice and suggestions.
Thanks.

Hello haha we meet again. What i have learnt from liquid metal enthusiasts on the forum is to use electrical tape around the dies on the substrate of the CPU and GPU. Its sort of an insurance policy in case any leak occurs considering liquid metal being conductive and what not. Apply a small drop and spread it out as evenly as possible until you get a sort of mirror like finish/reflection. Worked perfectly on my P150SMA barebones i use. Also for CLU, cut off all but around 1/8th of the bristles on the included brush. It lessens the amount of paste that will be caught up and wasted in it. For regular paste i personally prefer Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. It has given me the best performace out of all the regular pastes that i have used (IC Diamond, Gelid GC Extreme and AS5) and the applicator that comes as a sort of nozzle on the larger tube skew helps a ton in repasting.

I've got the liquid ultra ordered so will give it a tentative go with some electrical tape as advised.
My 6820HK isn't pushing past 4.3Ghz so hopefully this will either help push further or drop temps a little (currently maxing 88°C). -

Yes please update us! Your rig is an X5 right? I'll be receiving my X7 within a week or 2 and will be repasting with Kryonaut as i havent had access to liquid metal pastes for a while now

I will follow your progress with interest MiSJAH! I have followed you both here and on ocuk. For the longest period of time I have been looking at the Aorus X5/X7 vs the GS73/63. I currently have a barebone GS63 ordered(Couldnt be bothered to wait for the V7's.)
But ill still follow your progress with much interest! Who knows I still might pickup a 17"MiSJAH likes this. -
Anyone here kind enough to send me some Liquid Ultra I have no access to it in my country sadly. Best i can do is Kryonaut which is an excellent paste but not up to liquid metal standards hahahaha
On a more serious note, i will also be following @MiSJAH and his work on repasting his X5 closely as i am getting the bigger brother to the X5. Good luck @MiSJAH !!!MiSJAH likes this. -
While I am waiting for the paste, I've managed to bench this at 4.5Ghz on all 4 cores and on the cache too.

Bloody hell that is unreal...Congrats on getting that high of a frequency! What were you temps and fan setting during the overclocking?

Thanks man.
Fan on auto max. Max temp 98 degrees C.

98 and no throttling or anything? -

I didn't really monitor temps that closely, purely in XTU, I'd guess around 80.

OK, so liquid ultra arrived
Before:
(at AORUS app overclock of 4Ghz CPU and +100 core on GPU)
And after liquid ultra:
I may re-apply the GPU paste.... -

That's about a 10% lower CPU temp after applying the paste. Pretty good results, I think. Nice work.

Thats a pretty damn good drop! Makes me wish that retailers would bring in liquid ultra in my country Oh well, i guess TG Kryonaut will have to do for now.

OK, repasted both GPU and CPU. No real change on GPU, but CPU:
Package temps are around 20pc lower!

Impressive misjah!
Was this your first time doing liquid metal paste?MiSJAH likes this. -

@MiSJAH
How difficult was the repaste procedure? -
