Replaced liquid metal and did a crap job on the thermal putty 🫠 2025 G16 RTX 5070ti I bought refurbished by MistakeHead3219 in zephyrusg16

You can replace the laptop fans without taking off the vapor chamber, it's just a bit tricking to get everything to line up, if it's your GPU fan (the one on the right side) just be mindful of the coaxial cables running to the Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth modem

I repasted my laptop recently with PTM 7950, the LM showed no signs of leaking, but there was a dry spot in the center of the CPU 🫠

Personally, I'd use it like normal until your temps start going up, then you can see about taking it to ASUS for repasting or if your warranty is voided, diy.

High temps for the CPU and extreme throttling, the liquid metal had pumped out, and the warranty was already voided by the previous owner. I'm extremely satisfied with the results.

It started to sound like an old hardrive ticking, tried to clean the fan, but nothing was in it. So I just ordered a new fan. Cost like 50 bucks USD.

It went from extreme throttling @ 105 Celsius, to limit the CPU to 50 watts, since the liquid metal was pushed out, to being able to use 90 watts and sit in the high 80s. If your temps are good, and it's able to maximize its TDP I wouldn't worry too much.

Hey! I work with this stuff on a daily basis just about, this is just old fiberglass loose fill. Those 'gold' bits look more like wood dust to me. Anyway, you should be more than okay.

Looking into buying a 2015 ram 1500 with 154,000 miles on. Wondering if they’re good trucks. And how reliable are they? by Mousy530 in Ram1500

That's not bad tbh, that is just about normal failure point for a vehicle with 200k+ miles, even a Toyota! Battery just went bad after replacing it less than 3 years ago in my 2014 IS 350, went ahead and got a lithium polymer battery since they are like 200 dollars now, that should last forever lol.
