 Wether your team AIO or team air cooling, one thing remains the same. Is that we all swear dun sa performance ng ating thermal paste. But what's this? Sabi dito, it's the Conducto Note and it's made of liquid metal compound. So, what's the fuzz? And is it a worthwhile upgrade para sa system mo? Or gimmick lang siya? I'm Rocky the programmer and this is Jay the tech guy and in this video, we're going to find out how does the Conducto Note stack against dun sa conventional thermal paste. Here we go.

So, primer lang sa PC Cooling in general. Yung mga components, they generate heat as they're used. Yung yung tendency talaga ng mga electronic components, especially yung CPU. Ngayon, yung solution dun would be siyempre to get a cooler, pero yung basic idea niya would be to increase yung surface area ng component. So, that's why yung mga coolers nagmamak sila in contact with the integrated heat spreader ng CPU or yung silver part ng CPU on top of it. So, hindi yung yung chip mismo. It's just a metal thing so that heat can travel through it. So ngayon, kapag nakakadikit na yung CPU cooler or yung kite anong cooler or heat sink na nandun, ang mangyayari, depended siya. For air coolers, mayroong heat pipes yun. Na yung heat pipes, mayroong siyang liquid actually sa loob. So, once the liquid inside of the heat pipes gets heated, nakakarun sila ng phase inversion. That means magtatravel na yung liquid na yung upwards or papunta dun sa heat sink or yung heat sink fins. Parang pinakabasik idea ng anong would be dahil madami yung fins na yun, if you actually spread that out, napakalaking surface area nun and inoccupay yun yung heat. So, yung fans will dissipate yung heat as warm air and hopefully outside of your system. Sa AIO naman, halos ganun din, pero instead of yung heat pipes, mayroong siyang pump na may nags-circulate na liquid. Yung liquid na yun, puwopunta din siya sa fins ng radiator naman. Hindi lang siya basta heat sink. And similar with the heat sink, mayroong ding mga nakakabit na fans dun and yun yun nag-didissipate naman ng heat away from them. So, yung pinakai idea nun is remove the heat from the component so that it can keep on working. So, san pa pasok naman yun yung thermal paste? So, sabi natin kanina yung cooler mo or yung more specifically yung cold plate ng cooler mo. It makes contact with the CPU or more specifically, yung IHS or yung Integrated Heat Spreader. May kita naman natin yun diba, nakasalpak siyang ganun. And you can say na, yeah, it's making contact and nakadikit na dikit siya dun, pero on a microscopic level, hindi naman siya completely smooth eh. So, you can have many gaps dun sa contacts na yun and yung gaps na yun, nakakatrap yun ng warm air or ng hot air. So, yun di siya conducive sa pag-remove ng heat. So, dun pa pasok nga yung thermal paste kasi when you apply yung thermal paste nung sa cold plate and the integrated heat spreader, ma-fulfill yun yung gaps na yun. So, yun number one na spec sa compounds or sa thermal compounds would be yung kanyang thermal conductivity. That means yung kong gano siya ka galing or gano siya ka effective na mag-transfer ng heat or mag-absorb ng heat. So, examples would be metals are really conductive to heat. Meanwhile, yung siguro yung mga kahoy or yung cartoon, hindi siya ganung ka conductive di ba? Meaning hindi siya ganung kadali uminit. So, yung thermal conductivity na yun is measured in watts per meter Kelvin. So, yun yung parang pinakameshument niya. So ngayon, ano yung liquid metal? Liquid metal is a very different kind of material sa pagamit sa thermal compounds. Yung typical na thermal compound is made of silicone. Minsan mayroon siya metals. Then, and... marang ibang chemicals. And na sa paste form siya. Maghita mo yung lagi na parang gray, na gooey substance. Whereas itong conducto not, maghita natin mamaya na it's literally liquid na metal. You can also say na it's actually molten metal. Kasi, it's actually made of gallium. Ang special dito and it's going to be nerdy and so you can skip this part ahead. Yung gallium, yung kanyang melting point is very interestingly, negative 19 degree Celsius. So na apakalamig nung kanyang melting point. So, mamaya may kita niyo na even at room temp or actually niyo naman to room temp, medyo malamig pa rin to, hindi siya solid na metal, tulad na nito. As in, yun nga, tulad nga nung name niya, liquid metal siya. And also yung kanyang boiling point naman is actually sobrang taas 1,300 degree Celsius. So that's actually good for yung mga applications na gagawin natin dito kasi, hindi ka mag-overly na baka overtime mag-evaporate siya or nmawala siya. Anong siyempre may ginagawa kang sobrang F up sa PC mo na umaabot ko na 1,300 degree Celsius. Para ma-test yung effectivity ng conducto note against yung mga typical no thermal compounds, we're going to test it sa dalawang systems. Yung first system is ating hardware sugar test bench presently 3100G running 3.5 gigahertz base clock and 3.9 gigahertz boost clock installed on a B550M motherboard na merong usual 16 giggram running 3200 megahertz na merong RX 570 and 750W power supply. And yung second system natin is a very special one. Yeah. Napakaganda niya, di ba? This is where it all started. Well, it all started and they saw how awesome and amazing yung PC building and yung PC shopping doon. And they wanted to bring the experience here sa Philippines. Yung siyempre, you know them naman na parang sa wang-sawa na rin talaga sila sa customer service dito sa Philippines, especially for PC parts. Pero, well, it all started online here. Dito namin na gawa, dito namin na design and dito namin na code. And later dito namin na upload yung hardware sugar website yung yung mga designs and also yung yung mga beginning na YouTube videos din. So, it's nothing special. It's just a, it's just an Intel 7500 CPU. Pero it's very special to us kasi this is where talaga it all started. Alam niyo ba na datay parang mga second hand na mo exclusively yung bineventa namin and ngayon nandami na. Wala pa kaming adco cart nandatay kapag kag nag-binaw ka dun may lalabos na na prompt tapos mami message kami na ay, may gustong bumili tapos babaton namin ka yung sa Facebook. Ayon, we're going to test yung conducto note dito. And to test, we're going to benchmark with Cinebench R20 or R19 ba yan? R23. R23 and yung time-spine na libre lang sa Steam. So, we're going to record yung mga max temps and yung average temps na makukawa namin na normal na-paste lang and later yung conducto note. And the results are in. We've used AS500 plus from Deep Cool for this test on A&H1 thermal paste and the maximum temps we've got are 47 degrees Celsius. Minimum are 30.5. Ngapalawiran, this test on Cinebench R23. Ayon, so next yung time-spine naman and where it's currently ongoing. Pili namin to time-spine because this is a very, you know, accessible na benchmarking tool. It's free. Tapos yung results niya mayang kapangkunwaring score tapos you can actually compete worldwide sa mga similar na set ups and yung results page niya it's very comprehensive. May kita mo doon yung clock speed mo, may kita mo rin yung max na temps na ongoing or yung mga temps na na reach mo while the test is going on. So, gamitin natin yung time-spine. Okay, so tapos na yung time-spine. We've got 46 degrees max temps and still 35 degrees minimum. Compare dun sa ano kanina yung? 47 max. Atto 46. So medyo consistent siya and medyo mo baba kasi 3100 lang talaga siya. Mamayat mo, kikita pa natin kong yung performance sa iba pang CPU. Ayon itatestin natin yung Conducto Note. Ayon, yung special sa Conducto Note is yung liquid metal siya and bakit siya liquid metal? Ayon, ano yung special dun? Yung typical na thermal conductivity yung sinasabi natin na kanina sa mga thermal paste minna nag-memesure lang siya sa 5W-12W per meter kelvin. So, 5W-12W. Sabi nung thermal grizzly, yung Conducto Note daw, nalereach niyang thermal conductivity is 73W per meter kelvin. So, ang laki nung difference na yun. Tapos, mas madalidaw siyang like mag-spread kasi iba yung consistency niya pero we'll see kung yung mga number gains bud na yun, ay mag-translate sa real life of performance improvements. Okay, so unbox natin siya or unwrap. Paras siyang candy, no? So, natin. J-Health ayon. Okay, so we get alcohol pad. So, ito yung panlinas mo nung existing mo or mamaya baka may nakamalikan paglagay. Very handy. Tapos, meron din instructions. Oh, meron din siyang certificate of origin. And then, ito, ito yung mismo liquid metal. Tapos, okay, nice. Meron din siyang mga applicators. So para lang siyang Q-tips. Actually, Q-tips on talaga siyang na itim. Tapos, yung nozzle niya yung parang typical liyata or ito ay pambukas. Anday, ito yung parang nozzle na typical yung parang sa normal lang. Or ito, para siyang syringe na nabali. Siguro kasi, kapag kanilagay mong ganun, siya na rin yung pang spread mo. Kasi malalaman yung kung bakit maganda ito. Kasi, mamaya malalaman natin kasi yung consistency niya medyo weird or hindi typical. So, dili-sasembo lang n'Jay yung cooler tapos na apply na natin. And we're going to take this opportunity to warn you guys na warning. Kasi, dito sa last video natin medyo may mga controversial na whatever. Pero ito ay warning you guys. Make sure that if you're going to use this, make sure na hindi aluminum yung in yung cooler or yung cooler pad or yung cold plate. Pwede magkaroon siya ng ibang parts na aluminum basta yung magkumimikontak sa mismo yung liquid metal. Should not be aluminum. So, that would include yung mga staccolors. Hindi pwede ito sa mga staccolors. Diba Jay? Kasi yung mga intel staccolors in AMD Wraith, yung spire, alam ko aluminum yun. So, don't try this dito sa mga systems na yun. And yung special dito na isa pa, na panang pwede mo nir masabing kong that it's electrically conductive. Meaning, you should treat this like water. So, gusto nyo ba na magkaroonan tubay dito sa ibang parts na PC nyo? Syempre, hindi. Diba. So, when you're applying this, make sure na hindi siya pukunta anywhere else na system nyo. Kasi pwede talaga siya makapagshort ng motherboard. Very dangerous to and very risky to. So, we're not... Actually, we're not... Hindi namin ito nirerecomend for noobies. Ano yung mga wala po masyadong experience sa pag-apply ng mga thermal paste. So, nirerecomend namin to talaga sa mga performance hunters, yung mga power users talaga. Okay, so, you've been warned. Okay. So, nililinis lang namin yung nak-apply namin na thermal paste kanina. And then, we're going to apply na yung liquid metal. Sa po panang to apply, Jay? So, we apply namin sa very little as much as possible. Initially, dapat limisi talaga natin siya with the alcohol wipes na provided nung ka. So, yun nyo na natin gagawin. After that, apply natin yung liquid metal. Then, dapat nakapre-spread siya bago natin ikabit yung cooler. Also, ilagin din natin yung cooler na yung liquid metal. Sa cold blade ng cooler, ilagin din natin siya na liquid metal. So, ipipre-spread, meaning ikaw yung magsyspread mismo nung liquid metal. Di tulad nung sa thermal paste na ilagin mo lang tapos yun parang yung pressure yung magsyspread. Di ito kasi, very, ano siya yung malavnow yung consistency niya runny, medy runny. So, yun yung gagawin natin. Gagawin, Jay. Okay, so, limisin mo na natin. So, yun. Ilimisin natin yung dye ng alcohol wipes. IHS. Okay. IHS. Integrated heat spreader. Ilimisin natin sa nung alcohol wipes din. Yun, nang natin siya mag-dry. That way, we'll be sure na walang may iiwang thermal paste from the previous application. Same with the CPU cooler. So, yun. Di katitigal lang at di mo na yung kitay refleksyon mo. Yun, nating natin mag-dry yung alcohol. Next, i-aplan natin yung liquid metal yun as I said earlier, konti lang as much as possible din. Ipiprespread na lang natin. A little goes a long way. Okay, and we have to like, talagang warn you guys na if you're not comfortable doing this, don't. Kasi mayroon talagang risk na masisiran yung components yun. And you should only try this if you know what you're doing. So, we're trying it for you na. Para makita niyo kung worthwhile ba siyang pag-analan? Or whatever. Para siyang mercury. Then, yung first application natin. Next, may provided na q-tips sa Conductonot. Yun yung gagamitin natin pangspread. As you can see, mahirap siyang i-spread dahil sa... Iba kasi talagang yung consistency niya. Consistency? Hindi siya madulimag adhere. You have to really massage it dun sa IHS. Pero over time, tinan niyo para siyang parang mag-sysmere siya dun. That's the consistency na yun. So, yun yung gusto mo ng consistency actually. Parang makintab na makintab and smeared all over. Tapos, kailangan, makokipay talagay yung boong IHS. So, pag nandong ka na sa link pinakagilid and you're working towards sa mga edges, you have to be very careful na hindi makunta anywhere else yung liquid metal. And warning nga lang ulit, if you're not comfortable doing this, don't. You really don't have to. Kaya namin to ginagawa so that, siyepre, para makalang magkating kayong idea dun sa pwede niyo maging upgrade path and makarang kayong idea kung worthwhile nga ba yun. But may mga times talagang na hindi worth it yung risk. So siguro mga solid na yung 15 minutes or more, no? So very laborious yung pag-apply na ito. But yun yung basically medyo gusto mo pero hindi pa yung perfect. We spread palalo ni Jayan pero ya, ikaw yung magsyspread manually no liquid metal. Tapos to be sure since medyo running ay yung kanyong consistency, talagyan din natin yung cold plate nung cooler. Wala mo na kailamin yan. Hindi pa siya masyabong perfect pero hangin namin, talagyan pa namin yan. Tapos yung next, yung cooler. So, eto, talagyan yung cooler, you also have to be extra careful here kasi yung cold plate na ito, although nickel plated in copper, yung fins niya aluminum. So make sure then na hindi makupunta doon yung liquid metal. Tapos mo yung lagi sa edge still, kasi kung kosan lang yung sa tingin mo makupunta yung CPU mismo. It's madaligian, Jayan, and that's why. So, yung di pa toyo yung alcohol kanyo na? Hindi. Na, ano ko yung? Hindi spread ko lang sa kait. Yung baka niya na kait, ano, parang pinipilit ko na yung q-tip yung gamitan pang spread. Eto yung di. Parang kinalat ko lang yung gamit yung q-tip kung yung area lang yung CPU. Tapos, gilanan ganan ko na. Nakawak mo na. Master the art. So yan, this is how it should look like after he spread yung liquid metal. So yan, dapat shiny yung surface yung cold plate. So, as much as possible din kung aware na kayo sa area yung IHS sa cold plate niyo, yun lang yung lagyan yung liquid metal. That way, we can avoid liquid metal running around sa surface nung, sa kait natin. And again, we won't get tired of telling this, pero do it when you're comfortable. Parang guide lang to. This is, ito lang yung, mano ba? Well, pinapakita lang namin. Hindi namin nerecomendag na nga gawin yung. Pero, siyempre, since we're all in the hubby naman, in itong hubby na ito, madami talaga, kung marami ka talagang ma-didiscover na things, it's one thing na yung can try to learn. Pero, we will find out if worth it ba siyang i-learn. Ran mo na yung HW info. Oh. Ano yung kanina? 35. And ngayon? And now, running na siya on. 30, 30.1, so that's 4 degrees lower. 5 degrees lower. Oo, grave. Pero, ito yung idle. Titik na natin kung nag-oholtro pa ba siya kapag winan 100% natin itong CPU na ito. So let's hit. So, hit it with the- Just run tayo nang sine bench. Okay, so nagawa 100% siya at 43. 43. 43. 44. 44. So yung, sadly, 46.6 yung highest niya. So around 0.4. 0.4% Oo, 0.4. 0.4 degrees. Degrees siya, just na ba ba. So merong ba ba, pero, it's kind of inverted. And we can't say na hindi rin yun parang fault nung, ano, no? Fault, no. Kasi that's a very good cooler na light shelter. So maganda yung case, maganda naman yun na natin. Well, so yun, we're gonna test it so ang another CPU pa, and pero, yun na, yung parang expectations din namin, medyo buaba na rin. And we're sure na it's gonna be the same, pero, para lang maging sorrow, we're gonna test it sa 7500 ng Intel. Okay, so unfortunately, hindi guman na yung hardware sugar office PC, and so dinalakon na lang yung aking PC, which has a 3600 XT na CPU. So, okay yun kasi mas na sa geard siya for gaming, and medyo high to mid-range na yung kanyang class. So we're gonna do the same test yung isa sa conventional na thermal paste and then later apply natin yung liquid metal dun sa cooler na to which is ID cooling. Okay, so, dun sa conventional na thermal paste, with the time-spine benchmark, yung highest niya is 69 degrees. So, yun na sustain naman niya ng okay, and 69 degrees na highest na temperature sa CPU is not that bad. Okay, so with time-spy done, yung Cinebench naman na R23. Now, yung kanyang temperatures halos the same din, 67 yung highest yung kanina 69. So, you'll see how this goes. This would go for 10 minutes pa. Okay, so same as before, yung maximum niya is 69 degrees after mga ilang passes nung Cinebench R23 na multi-core CPU test. So ngayon, yung apply natin yung liquid metal and then titig na natin kung ano yung difference niya sa temperatures. Let's go. So, kanalas na natin yung EO na Rocky. Kabitan na natin siya ng liquid metal ngayon. As we said, little goes a long way. So, start muna natin siya sa Cinebench. So, agad, yung kanyong max ay 65. Kanina 69. Pero like, this is still ramping up. So, we'll still see. So, after 10 minutes of testing sa Cinebench, it's 68 degrees Celsius. Kanina 69 degrees. So, I have to say na, that's a 1 degree difference from yung NTH kanina na conventional. And in my opinion, it's not worth it. Kung ganito yung application mo, is it worth it for you? Yeah, definitely not worth it. So yun, NTH 1, for how much? 335 pesos na 69 degrees versus 68 degrees dun sa conduct, na 625 pesos. So, doble. Yeah, price of performance difference. Di talaga so worth it. Also yung effort mo in applying those solutions sa normal, sa traditional thermal phase, you'll just put e-size amount ng thermal phase then you're good to go. Yeah, matagal. Matagal na yung 20 seconds. Dun sa pag-applied sa traditional. Meanwhile, dun sa liquid metal. Meanwhile, sa ating conduct na nating liquid metal. What? It takes me almost on 30 minutes to an hour to spread the liquid metal. Hindi ako sure kung ganan patagay yung katagal, pero that's how much time it took me to spread yung liquid metal sa IHS at saka sa akod plate ng color. So, versus NTH 1 or kahit na anong traditional na thermal phase, Hindi worth it yung airport. Tapos yung pa yung risk, kasi yung nga sabi nga namin earlier. Ano siya? Electronically, electrically conductive siya. So, you have to treat it like water. Kumapunta siya sa anywhere else sa CPU mo, sa computer mo, kailangan linisen mo yung completely. Kasi nga yung nga, delicado siya and may risk na magshort. So, we don't recommend this for noobs. And actually, for kahit yung mga ang application mo is ganito. Like, mayroong CPU tapos mayroong cooler. Ni namin siya nirecomend. So, what's the big deal? Bakit kailangan? Bakit mayroong liquid metal? Well, yung target niyang application is yung mga like na sa echelon or like na dung sa pinaka apex nung mga system builders. What they would do is either sa GPU or sa CPU yung tinatawag na delideng. So, tatanggali nila yung IHS and then i-apply nila directly dung sa die yung liquid metal para para may direct na contact yung cooler dung sa die. Yung yung nagiging bottleneck natin, yung bakit para yung halos, para one degree lang. It's not that hindi maganda yung performance nung liquid metal. But yung gap between yung die and yung IHS medyo malaki parin yun para ma bridge nung liquid metal. Kung bibigang kami ni sir ng vise or yung pantanggal nung IHS, we can prove and we can test it na napakalaki talaga nung like difference nung pero wala eh. So, yun, if you're not a super power user and like enthusiast ka, we recommend na mag-stick sila sa normal at thermal paste. Normal at thermal paste. Price yung effort na ilalaan mo on applying it, hindi worth it talaga yung liquid metal. Ya. Sad. I was expecting na ano eh, na medyo malaki dito sa sa gaming na CPU. Kasi yung kanina ay yung last time 3100 lang yun, ay I was expecting na parang siguro kaya mababa yung kasi mababa talaga TDP nun. Ito, overclock to end. Ayun nga. Yung pala, hindi na namin ginawa yung time spy kasi wala na rin silbe kasi nakawanan namin 1 degree lang yung yung difference eh. So, ito na yung conclusion.
