Works well but tough to apply.
Good results if applied well which is somewhat difficult due to the gritty/gooey consistency. Not for the novice. |

Excellent results, easy to use, & inexpensive!
Best that I have found other than Coollaboratory Liquid PRO and IC Diamond 7 Carat, both of which are not for the novice. Matrix is as good or better than Artic Silver (which the company also states) but it is incredibly easy to apply. Goes on smooth, evenly and without clumping, just don''t overwork it as it does start to dry out after a few minutes making it more difficult to work and less effective. Great price too. |

Great for non-CPU pernament thermal bonds.
Use it for connecting TEC to sinks and water coolers, that way there is no clamping of the devices/layers required and gives a great pernament bond. though not recommended, you can take a blowtorch to break the bond which I do when removing a bad TEC but want to reuse the water cooling interface. |

A requirement for anyone applying their own thermal!
Amazing product! You wouldn''t believe how much non-thermally conductive crap is on everything until you see what this cleans off of it. Cheap at twice the price! |

The most PERFECT thermal interface available!
Coollaboratory liquid metal not only has a high thermal conductivity and works well for air cooled rigs but it does especially well for TEC and phase change applications as its melting point is 8 degrees C, so it solidifies into a block of metal giving a near perfect thermal interface. Great support from the company when asking them about sub-zero specs.
A few application tricks:
Use dielectric under and along sides of CPU topped off with a silicone sealant to prevent any from getting to CPU during application and afterwards. I also lapped both the CPU and the cooler interfaces to 1/2000, used Arctic cleaning solutions, and then applied the liquid metal to both interfaces and put a small bead in center with a lot of clamping pressure. |

Works but display changing drive insane.
If this had all four inputs on the screen or if you could select the input(s) to view then it would be OK but it cycles through all four temp/fan monitors whether there is anything connected or not. |
