Hi Face
Just buy any (the cheapest) high temp RTV from the rain forest. You will only need a very small amount.
Also, get some clear nail varnish (I used clear coat paint) as there are 4 small contacts you will want to cover - assuming you are going liquid metal.

I used Noctua non conductive thermal paste to cover those 4 small contacts. Works perfectly so far.

Glad you've gone that way. Buy a small tube as just like the RTV, a small bit goes a long way.
Just a word to the wise, practice the application before you do the real thing. More squirts out than you would think.

I used JB weld on a G3258, both on the small surface components and to seal the IHS back in place. Maybe slightly OTT but it definitely works

Depending on the application, I saw 20" with LM. I've not tried a 'normal' paste under there though. My thought is, if you are taking the lid off why not stick LM under there. If applied correctly, it will not run - which was my biggest concern prior to doing it.
The nail varnish on the 4 little contact pads is just belts and braces in my mind.

Not much point delidding if you're going to put regular thermal paste in there IMO. You're risking your warranty, might as well get the most out of the process.
Bloody hell! That's not coming off then is it.I used JB weld on a G3258, both on the small surface components and to seal the IHS back in place. Maybe slightly OTT but it definitely works

definitely not. The IHS and PCB are now mated for life.A poor mans equivalent of an Intel soldered CPU lol. It did work wonders, got an extra 300-400MHz on the clock before temps became an issue.

MAYBE SLIGHTLY OTT? Dude, that's bloomin' mental. I love it.
I'd love to see a direct comparison now between Conductonaut and JB Weld under the IHS

It really is great stuff
I wasn’t brave enough to try painting the core with it, but as you said it’s so mad, it seems like a worthy experiment lol. JB weld mixed with copper filings. Slaver that all over the core, fire the IHS back on, bingo - two jobs done for the price of one
