Last week I applied liquid metal for the first time ever and it’s been running great! The GPU runs a lot quieter now and cooler!

Honestly, I don’t know why I did it. Could’ve very easily lost a grand.

Nice! If you've done everything correctly it should also last you for quite long.

I've delided my i7 4770k and used Conductonaut in 2015/2016 and it still runs cool to this day with the OC I've set (1.4V 4.6GHz) (in friends PC, I've upgraded since).

Do you have a comparison of temperatures from before and after?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Before: High RPM, average 89C (192,2F), low to no boost clock

After: Low fan RPM and therefore low noise, average 83C (181,4F), Boost clock with an average of about 2Ghz

A definite much needed improveme because I know the memory on 3090 has some issues with temperatures that was improved on for the 3090 Ti.

I would guess that the 5090 is going run cool given how small it will be, but with GDDR7, I'm not sure if it will bring temperatures back up.
