Apply Liquid Metal Singapore

What Is Liquid Metal?

Liquid metal is a gallium-based alloy — typically gallium, indium, and tin — that remains liquid at room temperature. It conducts heat at 70–80 W/m·K, roughly 10× higher than premium thermal paste. The most widely used professional product is Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. In the right application it drops CPU temperatures by 10–30°C — often the difference between sustained throttling and full performance in a thermally constrained gaming laptop.

Liquid metal is the highest-performance option for laptop overheating repair where standard thermal paste has already been replaced but temperatures remain too high. Reserved for specific high-TDP devices, applied only by experienced technicians.

Pricing

Service	Time	Price (SGD)
Liquid Metal – Laptop CPU	60–90 min	From $80
Liquid Metal – Desktop CPU	45–60 min	From $70
Liquid Metal + GPU Thermal Service	2–3 hrs	From $130

When Liquid Metal Is the Right Choice

• Thermal paste was recently replaced and temps are still too high under load
• High-TDP gaming laptops (Asus ROG, MSI, Razer Blade, Alienware, Aftershock) where the heatsink leaves insufficient thermal headroom
• Sustained workloads — video rendering, 3D, simulation — where throttling caps performance
• Desktop CPUs with copper or nickel-plated heatsinks seeking extra overclocking headroom

When Liquid Metal Is Not Appropriate

• ❌ Aluminium heatsinks — Gallium corrodes aluminium. We verify heatsink material before every job.
• ❌ GPUs (generally) — Exposed capacitors create migration risk. We use PTM7950 or paste for GPUs instead.
• ❌ Soldered heatsinks — Some thin ultrabooks have permanently attached heatsinks — removal carries damage risk.

Our Application Process

1. Device Assessment — Heatsink material verified, suitability confirmed, baseline temperatures logged.
2. Full Component Masking — All exposed circuitry around the CPU die masked with Kapton tape.
3. Old TIM Removal — Previous compound fully removed with 99% IPA and lint-free applicators.
4. Liquid Metal Application — Conductonaut applied in the correct quantity. Excess removed completely.
5. Careful Reassembly — Heatsink seated with even torque. All masking removed and inspected.
6. Stress Test — Full CPU load for 15+ minutes. Temperature improvement confirmed and logged.

Comparing Your Options

• Thermal Paste — 4–14 W/m·K · From $40 · Safe on all heatsinks · Most devices
