I have a Minisfourms BD790i X3D which is an ITX motherboard with a laptop 7945hx3d (no IHS). It runs hot stock and the stock paste is junk. Heatsink appears to be nickle plated copper. Perfect candidate for Liquid metal then.
Never used LM before, but lots of youtube videos, so I get the gist. But just curious if I need to put conformal coating on the CPU anywhere? Stock it comes with a plastic protector over the CPU and just the chiplets are exposed. Maybe I should take that off and coat it so all the SMD components are protected just in case?
Huge advantage is this is going to be a desktop system not a laptop, so risk of things leaking should be minor (hopefully).
Or maybe LM isn't the best solution? i have some PTM 7950 on the way too.
