Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips attempts a perilous DIY repair on an ASUS ROG Flow X13 after a conductive liquid metal thermal paste spill killed the laptop. He disassembles the machine, painstakingly cleans off stray metal, replaces it with Thermal Grizzly’s PTM7950, and tests whether the gaming PC can be revived.
What follows is a hair-raising teardown full of unexpected setbacks, insights into thermal performance, and nail-biting suspense. In the end, Linus not only brings the laptop back to life but also weighs the real-world risks and rewards of using liquid metal for cooling.
