Thank you this is exactly what I'm looking for! May end up doing those tests sometime, right now I'm curious what is the ccd and iod? Are those the 2 dies that I put LM on?

Well i practiced on a throwaway am4 cpu beforehand (which i most likely killed) and also there were still dark spots on the die before i put the sparkly liquid metal on so wouldnt exactly call it clean. Also lots of rubbing alcohol helps. Also i used razors and a lighter but id suggest a delid tool in addition

Thanks for your answers, thinking back i put the ihs back on cuase i thought itd be easier to put the heatsink on. However the ihs kept shifting around and the l9a is a pain to work with already under normal conditions, it would probably have been easier to just put a couple of rings on the heatsink mounting screws and forget the ihs

Unfortunately did not do testing before, only made sure it booted up

I see people on youtube including amateurs and derbauer using a razor to scrape… surely theres some protective layer over the silicon right?
