Hello,
I just stumbled across this thermal compound - "Phobya liquid metal Paste LM". According to some reviews it's the best thermal compound as it does not contain any non-metal substances and thus is conducts heat much better.
Other than the price the drawbacks are that it conducts electricity as well so it can short hardware if applied improperly and is also not suitable for use with aluminum heatsinks (no idea why).
So I am currently running a 4790K machine with a Noctua NH-D15 cooler and two R9 290's cooled with two ARCTIC Accelero Hybrid II-120.
I just wanted to ask if it was a good idea to swap the regular Noctua thermal compound on the CPU and GPUs with the Phobya's liquid metal compound? Is it safe and is it compatible with those coolers? AFAIK both coolers have copper bases and the CPU cap is also copper with an outer layer of something (nickel?).
Thanks in advance.
