The company got some attention when the released their 100% metal based thermal paste. Now they have introduced the "MetalPad", which consists of the same kind of metal, but can be applied without the use of a syringe. The pads should be available world wide by the end of October. It will come in different packages for GPUs or CPUs. A single pad is priced at around 4 to 5€.

MetalPad" liquid the "Coollaboratory is recommended for cooler out of copper, silver, aluminum and other high-value metals.
Finally Coollaboratory made compound just like Thrilla did many months ago. :D
I wonder how it doesn`t spread around the area if it`s liquid metal :confused:
Good to see they added a cleaning set.

Yeah got a syringe of that stuff and it does work (on copper) but is an absolute pain to clean up after, has a massive surface tension so doesn't wet well and once applied to a metal you will have to lap it back off as it appears to "fuse" to the surface. Alot of effort if your regularly change HSF setups but if it's a fit and forget job then your fine...

quite likely its the same compound as used on Intel retail heatsinks, just not attached to the heatsink.

I was talking about Thrilla`s home-made stuff which didn`t "eat" the aluminum ;)

Liquid metal is cool stuff, great if you dont ever plan on selling your CPU haha, it's a real pain getting it off.
