TL;DR
Linus’ ASUS ROG Flow X13 went belly-up when its DIY liquid-metal thermal paste decided to short everything out, and he’s on a mission to bring it back from the grave. Cue full teardown, carefully (or not so carefully) cleaning up conductive goop, swapping in safer PTM7950, and testing thermal performance to see if the risky upgrade was ever worth it.
After a few nail-biting disaster moments, he discovers whether this gaming ultraportable can live again and weighs the pros and cons of liquid metal vs. mainstream pastes. Spoiler: it’s a wild ride of spills, sparks, and tech drama.
