HEAT SAFEGUARDS:
CPU TO HEATSINK CONTACT
We use only the best heat conduction medium in our refurbishment process. For example, we use either Coollaboratory Liquid Pro heat conduction medium. It is 100% liquid metal alloy. Thermal Conductivity is 82.0 W/(m*K). "This is the grandfather of liquid metal compounds, and it still holds the record for thermal conductivity." Tom's Hardware 2020. Because the following are also in the same and sometimes better ranking than Liquid Pro, we use: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Noctua NT-H1 or Arctic MX-4 depending on several factors.
SHIPPING:
