You can find Conductonaut Extreme in the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 as well as the Strix SCAR family, enabling incredible cooling performance for our most powerful laptops. This TIM lowers temperatures a further 5☌ even when compared to Thermal Grizzly’s standard liquid metal formulation. Even more significantly, we continued to deepen our ongoing partnership with Thermal Grizzly by incorporating their ultra-high performance Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on our laptops for the first time.
In addition, we introduced the new ROG Flow Z13, the first tablet with liquid metal onboard. Taking cooling to the extremeĢ022 saw a return of liquid metal on all ROG laptops, and the GPU of the Zephyrus G14. That year also marked the launch of the Flow X13, making it the first convertible laptop with liquid metal available for sale worldwide. 2021 marked the first year that every ROG laptop was cooled with liquid metal. These SMD caps need to be shielded from the electrical conductivity inherent in liquid metal, which is a challenge. AMD processors and GPUs are much harder to safely apply liquid metal to than Intel processors, due to the numerous surface mounted SMD caps on the processor package. Our next major milestone with liquid metal came in 2021, when we were able to apply it to both Intel and AMD processors, as well as the GPU of the Strix G Advantage Edition. Thanks to the extra thermal efficiency of liquid metal, we were able to reduce fan noise and temperatures while improving our laptops’ performance at the same time. These production innovations allowed ROG to add liquid metal to every laptop equipped with an 10th Gen Intel Core processor. We also added a tiny barrier sponge just 0.1mm tall around the CPU socket, safeguarding against any accidental seepage. Custom machines, developed and patented by ROG, painstakingly brush a thin coat of liquid metal onto the CPU die, then add two more tiny drops to ensure no gaps between the chip and heatsink. In 2020, we were able to automate and refine the application process, which brought down the manufacturing time and cost enough to make liquid metal feasible on all mainstream laptops, not just our flagship models. This first test of liquid metal required application by hand, but the thermal results proved that we were onto something special.

After much trial and error, ROG introduced its first devices with liquid metal two years later: the ROG G703 and ROG Mothership. In 2017, our engineering team began to research whether liquid metal was feasible in a laptop. When not handled correctly, it can easily touch a sensitive component and lead to a short, causing damage to the laptop. Liquid metal does have one significant drawback - it is electrically conductive. When compared to ROG laptops cooled with traditional paste, our team saw incredible temperature reductions of around 10☌ on average. A much more thermally efficient TIM, liquid metal conducts 17 times more heat than traditional thermal pastes.

Since you can't install a larger heatsink in a smaller laptop, our engineers had to find other ways to push the boundaries of our cooling solution. They need to be as thin and light as possible, while also featuring components more powerful than ever. This basic thermal solution has proven to be effective and reliable for decades, but modern laptops have run into a problem. In the electronics industry, thermal paste consists of non-conductive but thermally efficient compounds that efficiently passes a processor’s waste heat to the heatsink. TIM stands for thermal interface material, the most common of which is thermal paste. No, we're not talking about Tim the Enchanter. But there's another, unsung hero in the chain of cooling: TIM.
Good heatsinks and fans go a long way in dissipating that heat so you can frag your enemies all day long.

Every laptop generates heat, thanks to powerful components packed in a portable chassis.
