This is genius but you seriously have some balls for not putting down some conformal coating. On a desktop you can get away without using a conformal coating but on a laptop that moves around and is prone to shock impacts it’s a huge, huge risk to not use it.

That may not be necessarily holding true; given that you have not been over-generous on the amount applied... A thin film will choose to remain inside due to capillary effect in spite the heat expansion, the gravitational differences or even the inertia from sudden shakes/spins/what-not's. I am sure a serious amount of tests would best prove what actually would happen. But as risky as it may seem.. It may be safer than it may initially appear.

@@TheRockacer22 Bullshit, i have Lm for about a year, did check on it a week ago, it got a bit black. Wipe 99% of it out with some alcohol wipes. Re-applied and i was good to go. Btw: The liquid metal will form an alloy with copper which is ok, BUT you need to reapply it after a month because the liquid metal that forms an alloy fuse to the copper and you have less liquid metal than before. After one or two times of reapplying the liquid metal, the alloy layer will protect the rest of the liquid metal from further alloy formation, about the performance the alloy layer heat conductivity is identical to that of bare copper, so don't worry about it. After that, you can just reapply it once a year like when you use a liquid metal with a nickel-plated heatsink. This information is from der8auer, he works with Thermal Grizzly the company that made this liquid metal. In summary, using a liquid metal with bare copper for the first time you need to reapply it after one month (you can use acetone to clean the old liquid metal) then after one month do it again (2nd reapply), after that, you can just replace it once a year.

Bad idea. You need to keep the LM inside without letting it spill onto the motherboard and destroying the entire laptop in the process. And it will spill easily with your method. You need to also apply conformal coating or silicone to seal the LM away.

Great job and very good application of the metal. A lot of people make the mistake of giving too much... 

Why not just cover the die with a few layers of masking tape, then hit the motherboard with a few coats of aerosol conformal coating. Remove masking tape from the die and apply both the die and heatsink with LM. I've been running liquid metal on all my daily laptops for years now and have never had any issues with leaking. Typically LM likes to stick to itself and doesn't move around much.

That's how it should be done even on desktop CPUs.

Applying to both sides is to ensure there's adhesion to the cooling surface. LM needs coaxing to stick to surfaces, which makes application tedious. Applying to both sides prevents a situation where the top cooler fails to properly bond. This is why being conservative with the LM is highly recommended. This is why the paper/tape method shown here is useful. It takes the guesswork out of applying to any opposing surface where the actual point of contact isn't clear, like how large water blocks have large surfaces that can be used with cpu's of all brands and generations. Otherwise you may miss essential coverage, or apply where contact is unnecessary and have errant LM in the system.
