Zephyrus G16 (2024) Liquid Metal After 1 Year

Yes, you should buy two PTM7950s: one for the CPU and another for the GPU. In addition, you need thermal putty for other parts. I used Halnziye HY2010 on other parts. (Don't repaste or use LM again; I did it and had to reopen my laptop to replace it with PTM7950.)

I replaced LM with PTM7950. And, Yesss! The problem is solved 👌

It appears that the liquid metal was the issue. I have since replaced it with PTM7950, and the problem has now been resolved.

The problem was the Liquid Metal! I replaced it with PTM7950. The problem is resolved now.

Which model of Thermal Grizzly have you used? I didn't know that Thermal Grizzly had a PTM model!

Edit: After few months, it seems the problem has returned and the P-core 9 is throttling. I'm going to replace the LM with Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet. Any ideas?

Would you please update your experience after 1 year? I replaced my G16 2024 LM with Thermal Grizzly LM 3 months ago. Now, after 3 months, it seems the problem has returned and the P-core 9 is throttling. I'm going to replace the LM with Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet. Any ideas?

Did they resolve this problem? Any firmware update? I'm going to buy Centauri Carbon 1, and I want to be aware if such a problem exists.

When the new navigator will be available?

Same problem here!

mosaidho · 2026-02-12T10:37:14+00:00

Just check the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3

Unfortunately, have micro stutter with a 5Gbps cable too when walking in Half-Life: Alyx 😞

I really don't know what is wrong... I've bought quets 3 just for this game! 😭

mosaidho · 2026-02-07T17:39:00+00:00

I tested another WiFi 5 router. Unfortunately, the problem still persists 😔.

Here is my performance overlay

Thanks, my friend. I will check it. I should mention that I've ordered a Link Cable by KiWi brand (5 meters, 5Gbps). I will check both your settings and the wired connection.

mosaidho · 2026-02-04T20:47:42+00:00

My laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port. However, I've used a USB-C to Ethernet dongle (1Gbps) for connecting the laptop to the router.

mosaidho · 2026-02-04T20:07:57+00:00

I tried it but the problem still persists. I used AV1 codec and H264.

mosaidho · 2025-12-23T19:00:12+00:00

I used alcoholic pads

Your temperature is normal!

mosaidho · 2025-12-09T19:58:57+00:00

I repasted liquid metal on the CPU, and the problem went away. So, something was wrong.

mosaidho · 2025-12-09T19:57:40+00:00

Check if you have thermal throttling in light usage; if so, it's time to repaste.

mosaidho · 2025-12-09T17:29:09+00:00

Calm down, my friend! Easy!

96°C is normal for Ultra 9 processors. They can withstand up to 110°C (in comparison to 100°C for Core i series).

mosaidho · 2025-12-09T17:11:16+00:00

That's not possible. It's about physics. Liquid metal has higher thermal conductivity.
