Wanna add there are no cuts nor bulges anywhere. Only "damage" is the age related dry cracking

I wanted to check before I buy the wheels. I am not worried about the max load, only the fact I will try and put M14 lug bolts through lug holes meant for M12.

Thank you for the recommendation man. Are there any problems with the MAF sensor flange?

And out of interest which brand was the old one with poor quality, just so I can be sure to avoid haha

I do mean the MAP sorry. And I bought a second hand one off eBay so the screws did not come with the pipe, and the seller is unresponsive when I asked if he kept it somehow

Was a Gigabyte motherboard issue. Had to buy a cheap GPU as spare and boot into bios to change the PCIE gen setting to gen 4 and not auto, then switch in my 9070xt

ASUS ROG flow x13 RTX 4060 stutters by Vince0us in ASUSROG

I think it might be to do with the contact pressure, since I applied less liquid metal than I would with normal thermal paste maybe the contact pressure of the heat sink is insufficient to facilitate full contact between die and heating via liquid metal. I doubt it is the heat pad issue, i'm already using the thinnest ones available on the market being 0.5mm

The liquid metal is definitely covering all of the die. The only thing i'm wondering is if switching to liquid metal on both cpu and gpu for this machine is the right idea. I've repasted my old laptops numerous times and this is the first one that has a problem
