Linus tackles a DIY repair on his dead ASUS ROG Flow X13 after a liquid-metal thermal paste mishap. He cracks it open, carefully cleans up the conductive goo everywhere, and swaps in PTM7950 to see if the machine can even be brought back to life.
Mid-cleanup, the liquid metal creep causes a mini-disaster, but he soldiers on, reassembles the laptop, and runs benchmarks to see if it’s salvaged. In the end, he shares whether the performance gains justify the risk—or if you’re better off sticking with safer thermal compounds.
