- Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2020Watched a lot of tutorials on using Liquid Metal on GPU (1080ti) die before deciding to go this path. Finally took the plunge. It is really only for the dedicated, somewhat risk taking enthusiast, but so far worth the results (compared to 2 year old stock paste). I am using it on my 2 year old EVGA 1080Ti FTW3, which was starting to show higher temps with the old stock paste (which was on the dry side after 2 years of use). My before and after (controlled 70% fan speed) 10 min Heaven Benchmark tests showed a reduction of max stable temps from 78C (holding 1936 Mhz) to 63C (holding 1949 Mhz). The increase in temps is also slower, so in real game use the temps generally stay in the 50s with lower fan RPM. The price of this Liquid Metal is comparable to MX-4, but the risk, reward and difficulty of use is far higher. I have attached pics, but I must say, it was a bit of a tough process to carefully coat the resistors around the GPU die with clear Nail polish (without getting it on the die) and getting the right (min) amount of liquid metal on the die and the heatsink. Here's to hoping it keeps working so well. I will probably not risk it with a new GPU until it's stock paste starts to lose performance after a few years of use.
