The CPU appears to be free of jumpers, which suggests a clean design. Liquid metal could be considered for safety, but you should verify compatibility with the component. Conformal coating may still be necessary depending on environmental protection needs.
Make sure you check the surface before applying any protective coating, especially since the material conducts electricity.
What temperatures are we looking at? If it's far from the thermal limit, it's likely not thermally constrained and the LM won't be effective here.
First verify the temperatures to assess potential improvements. It seems the investment isn't justified given the current risk and expense, so opt for standard thermal paste instead.
There are plenty of reasons to use LM, but I just need to know if there’s anything visible that requires conformal coating. Please let me know. I’m going to replace my laptop, which I bought myself, no matter what others think. Thank you for your understanding. I only need assistance with my problem—let’s collaborate as a community and support each other.
The main concern is that these aren't truly bare dies as I understand; they rely on a denser thermal paste that stays put, unlike Liquid Metal which tends to seep over time. It might need extra thermal pads, though I'm not certain. Unless the dies are perfectly matched in height, I’d skip it to avoid potential issues. Keep in mind it's a 7-watt component, so it should handle mistakes fine. Also, the Liquid Metal could interfere with the SoC’s built-in Wi-Fi.
Thanks for the guidance. I incorporated LM after applying conformal coating, using thermal pads and an air filter cut from an AC unit. It’s functioning properly without any problems. I recorded temperatures, which were about 1.5°C lower than expected, but that’s fine. Appreciate your support!
