Linus Tech Tips (LTT): Liquid Metal Killed my Laptop… Now What?

Liquid Metal Killed My Laptop… Now What?

After a liquid-metal thermal paste mishap fries his ASUS ROG Flow X13, Linus from LTT takes on a nerve-wracking DIY repair. He tears down the gaming laptop, meticulously cleans up the conductive goo (until another disaster strikes), and swaps in PTM7950 to replace the dangerous liquid metal.

Once reassembled, the machine faces stress tests and thermal benchmarks to see if it’s truly back from the dead—and whether that shiny, high-risk cooling solution is worth the gamble. You’ll have to stick around for the verdict on performance gains versus potential motherboard meltdowns.
