TL;DR:AMD Threadripper 2950x paired with Corsair H115i Platinum RGB water cooler, 'balanced' fan mode speed (~1100 rpm) on radiator. Corsair OEM, pre-applied thermal paste - idle 104F, load 157F. Conductonaut applied - idle 98F, load 149F; both tests 10-15 minutes of Prime95.MAIN REVIEW:I have the AMD Threadripper 2950x 16c/32t paired with the Corsair H115i Platinum RGB cooler. The 2 Corsair fans on the radiator are spinning at ~1100rpm each. My typical workload consists of running 2 Windows VMs simultaneously on a Windows 10 host. I initially used the pre-set thermal paste from Corsair pre-applied to the copper-block and idle averaged ~104F. Disassembled, cleaned,and added the Conductonaut and now seeing idle temps average 98F, with temps dipping as low as 89F. Room ambient temperature is 72F.Threw up some Prime95 testing and prior with the stock thermal paste, I hit 157F after 10 minutes. After 10 minutes with the Conductonaut, maxed out at 149F. Both radiator fans were spinning at 1260rpm, pump at 2420rpm; the fans were set at a 'performance' level of 'Balanced' within the iCUE software. I set the performance-mode for the fans at 'Extreme', they both started spinning at ~2150 rpms. After 5 minute the temp bounced between 141 and 143F. For the last 3 minutes, temp hit and sat at 149F. The CPU of all cores was bouncing between 3650 and 3700 MHz. iCUE reported the water temp at 30.8C. For another 5 minutes I let Prime95 continue running. Temps did not change.For anyone who has ever messed with Gallium in its liquid form will know what to expect from messing with Conductonaut. Try to pinch Gallium (or Conductonaut) in your hand and it'll just pop out the side...the same thing will happen when you assemble your heatsink base to the CPU block; which there is a reason the instructions say "apply a pin-drop" and [try] to spread it out. Put too much on and it'll spit out the sides! Don't put your heatsink on slowly and it can actually splatter out the sides as well. Take your time and be patient while trying to spread the liquid metal around - it will naturally glob-up and stick to the supplied Q-tip at times. Try your best.For a little pin-hole application, the results can be quite impressive! For my system, I do not plan to de-lid anything (no point for the CPU since AMD uses Indium solder between dies and heatsink). What I get out of this are some degrees cooler temps running and also longevity, not having to re-apply thermal solutions every few years due to the thermal solution drying up and/or losing its thermal conductivity efficiency over time.THINGS TO CONSIDER:Use the supplied Q-tip to spread the liquid metal around the heatsink as it's quite compacted unlike regular Q-tips that give off some fibers.A teeny-tiny application goes a long way! Also, make use of the additional supplied adapter-tip to suck up any excess application.Keep the plunger open-end and pointed up until it is over where you will be applying it. The liquid metal can fall out and splatter all over, even a little droplet!The liquid metal is very reflective and shiny. Try to examine afterwards with a flashlight after the heatsink is applied if any of the application plopped out the sides - I was able to see a shiny reflection just under the heatsink that I sucked up and cleaned (before plugging and turning system on).Be careful when moving your computer chassis. Any excess that is not spotted and cleaned up could fall and bounce around in your chassis during transportation.Wear latex/nitrile gloves if you mind your hands staining; if you get some liquid metal on your hands they'll be gray for a little bit.

This is not a product for anybody other than extreme overclockers or others a lot of experience with PC building. While it does provide better cooling, there are some cons I ran across. The first being is it’s nearly impossible to pick up as it has a mercury like texture. Second, I installed my cooler on top of my processor and sat my tower up. I later noticed that this coolant leaked out onto my motherboard and ruined it. I put only a pea sized amount. Do your research before buying this as a normal paste will do just fine. I cannot give this a bad review as I couldn’t use it properly because of likely human error, however, just use caution while using if you decide this route.

Ran stress test in CPU-Z with 8 threads for one hour. Averaged 90C on my i7-4790K @4.6GHz across all cores and 4.4GHz uncore.Delidded CPU, placed Conductonaut between processor and IHS, relidded, placed Conductonaut between IHS and NH-U14S heatsink.Ran stress test in CPU-Z with 8 threads for one hour. Averaged 66C on my i7-4790K @4.7GHz across all cores and 4.7GHz uncore.Great success.Side note: watch out for the initial squirt. A lot will come out and with this stuff, a little goes a very long way.

I did a repaste on my Alienware 17 R4 with i7-7820HK and GeForce GTX 1080 and this stuff immediately dropped my CPU temps by 30 degrees C. I love it and I will use it on everything from now on. It’s a little hard to work with, go slow, use the smallest drop you can possibly get out of it, suck up extra right away, don’t try to spread it if you get too much. This stuff does not need a pea-sized drop like they used to. A pinhead sized drop covered my CPU, GPU, and the heatsink for both.

Great product works VERY well. Definitely requires time and should be done by someone who knows what they are doing and has the knowledge to take the proper precautions to use. I have a laptop with two 1070s and a overclocked cpu and under full load the gpus and cpu are around 65-70 which is amazing for a laptop

This is my first time using liquid metal. The temperature reduction from the laptop is REALLY significant. I got 20 C reduction, while gaming.Also remember to buy the "Scotch Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape". =)p.s. Just don't squeeze it too hard when your pushing it out!!!

Great solution and alternative to thermal paste. The small tip applicator ensures you don't apply too much and you can quickly suck it back inside the tube if you do. Very pricey and not recommended for beginners but you will get the best temps with this.

Nice! Really helpful for the overclocking. I am overclocking my i7 2700k to 48x, with 7W of normal thermal paste my temperature will easily over 97C and caused Thermal Throttling. With this Conductonaut, I can control the temperature about 83C steady.

Very good product, lowered cpu and gpu temps on my laptop by up to15C better than normal thermal paste and last longer. It is conductive so be very careful in applying, only a small drop is enough on cpu and heat sink.

I probs put too much on, but I was 77 degrees C running furmark (full gpu load) before repasting, 60 degrees after. Full cpu + gpu load thermal throttled after 1 minute before, after no throttling and only 80 degrees.

Great Thermal Paste. Simply the best.I delided my i7-7700k and used this and I reduced my temps by 25+ C.I will say it can be easy to get too much at a time, just be careful on that.

29.12.2017

Awesome product. Used in multiple delid projects. A little goes a long way. I used it with 6700k, 7700k, 8700k delid and all were at least 20 degrees F cooler.

Holy Molly! Yes, this does really work. got my temps from 77C to 66C while stress testing. Research how to apply this first, not the same as thermal paste.
