Thanks for the great vid. Keep up the good work. It might be worth daoing an update video down the road.
I purchased an asus proart studiobook a few months back. Recently I had to get it repaired because there was liquid metal all over the motherboard and ram. They said its not covered under warranty because I put a m.2 drive in when I first got it. A warning to people getting laptops with liquid metal, get the extra coverage.

The issue is incorrect application of liquid metal by the manufacturer, such that it doesn't 'wet' both surfaces and overcome surface tension. LM, applied properly, is unbeatable. I did an experiment last week on my freshly delidded 14900KS at 320W direct die cooling on an external MoRa 420 cooler. Kryonaut paste was literally 20C worse than Conductonaut Extreme!
Liquid Metal is seriously over rated. I also use kpx for paste but what’s really been doing great is the kryosheets. Those are worth the money for longevity also better core to core temps
I had a Zephyrus G14 with a 3060 that had liquid metal. It wouldn't recognize the GPU at all. Came from the factory with it too, and I just don't trust it in a mobile device.
I fried an Hp laptop using liqiud metal never again you are asking for trouble
