Asus replaces thermal paste with liquid metal on their laptops

One of the big drawbacks when designing a powerful laptop is that of cooling. A high-performance processor or graphics usually generates heat. On a desktop PC this is not a problem, but on laptops it can be an engineering headache. ASUS is starting to use liquid metal instead of thermal paste to improve this crucial aspect on its laptops.

ASUS begins using liquid metal to improve cooling in its notebooks

Cooling promises to be the most differentiating element on the notebook market, and ASUS in this regard with its "exotic thermal compounds" offers charging temperatures up to 13 degrees lower on G703GXR series models. To offer these lower temperatures, ASUS has used Thermal Grizzly's Liquid Metal TIM, instead of a standard thermal paste.

Rather than improving the cooling system of your G703GXR for Intel's ninth-generation processors, ASUS has increased the conductivity of the interface between your laptop's cooler and the system processor, allowing heat to transfer from more efficiently to the heatsink, managing to lower the temperatures.

Thermal Grizzly metallic compound reduces CPU temperatures up to 13 degrees Celsius compared to standard thermal paste. The correct amount of this material is not done manually, but is automated by machines, which place the correct amount.

The problem with liquid metal thermal compounds is the risk of spillage that may occur, since it is an electrically conductive material. ASUS ensures that there is no risk of material spilling or leaking inside the laptop, thanks to a unique internal frame that prevents this from happening.

ASUS is the first to use this material in notebooks, and other manufacturers may implement it in the future as well.
