Liquid Metal Disaster and DIY Rescue

Linus’s ASUS ROG Flow X13 gaming rig bit the dust after a conductive liquid-metal spill, so he dives headfirst into a risky DIY teardown—scrubbing every nook of the motherboard, battling stray blobs of goo, and bracing for sparks (literally). Expect plenty of “oh no” moments as he tries to bring this laptop back from the dead.

After the cleanup carnage, he swaps out the liquid metal for trusty PTM7950 thermal paste, benchmarks the machine, and decides once and for all if the insane performance gains are worth the heart-stopping hazards. Spoiler: it’s a wild ride worth watching for any PC-repair junkie.
