Do not do liquid metal repasting with them
They did a great job with my unit but after 2 years it started breaking down because of the heat. My 4Ghz CPU would downclock to 1.5Ghz making games unplayable and the system very slow. Before ordering my unit I specifically asked Donald what would be the best thermal paste in terms of longevity and he told me they had the best results with liquid metal. Unfortunately 3 years later I open my unit to repaste it and I discover that the liquid metal has dried out and the remains of it has merged with my copper heatsink... It took me hours to try to remove it without success, then I applied Arctic MX5 on it and it started working almost like new again (throttling to 3.2 Ghz in games instead of 1.5Ghz). I suspect it cannot reach its full potential because of the remaining of the LM on the copper, but there is nothing I can do about it now... If they were really professionals they would have known about this issue and told me about it, avoiding me the pain to completely open my system and redo the job myself.

We are sorry to hear about the issue with your liquid metal application. While it is very effective in the first 9-12 months of usage, LM does not last as long as non-conductive thermal interface materials and will require reapplication more often. We encourage customers to contact us should they experience any issues with their products or have any pre-sales questions about our services. We are always happy to provide our advice for those who need it.
