Discussing the process of removing a CPU involves understanding its components and compatibility.

The statement is accurate; it remains applicable only when combined with the IHS. If I deleted the mask, conductonaut would still be used on the silicon die.
I wouldn't choose kryonaut if I had to deal with delidding, just liquid metal.
Looking for a grease paste for thermal grizzly conductonaut? This product matches your search.
Correct. Sorta of. DO NOT USE WHAT YOU LINKED UNDER THE HEATSPREADER. That is thermal paste, not liquid metal. Thermal grizzly does make liquid metal, its called Conductonaut: https://smile.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly...362&sr=8-4 DO NOT USE CONDUCTONAUT ANYWHERE EXCEPT UNDER THE HEAT SPREADER, DO NOT USE IT BETWEEN THE CPU AND THE CPU HEATSINK. It can corrode copper, and is extremely electrically conductive. Basically, no joke... if you are asking these questions, do some more research first. This is a very "experienced" PC enthusiast modification. I have done it, and I have also been building PC's for 15 years and have overclocked every single one of them. Even then, I only did it on my 4770k... My 8700k I didn't bother, it runs cool enough @ 5 Ghz 1.3v. Anyways, all of this aside. Unless you really know you need to delid, don't delid. Are you currently overclocking? If not, start there, then worry about delidding. If you are, what are your temps, cooler solution, and volts? My 4770k dropped 20c from a delid, but it was running ~85c at 4.4 Ghz, liquid metal dropped it to ~65. This is also on a custom loop. But, please, before you even worry about this, answer my previous questions and let us help you there.... then we can worry about liquid metal.
Liquid metal is a serious topic, not something to take lightly. It poses a high risk of damaging components and is challenging to handle. This isn't something beginners should attempt. It readily consumes copper and may even affect aluminum.
