How did they manage to get pictures of Stephen Miller during the day? I thought his kind burst into flames under sunlight?

Also, Equally disturbing,  is that most people think that they're using Yellow, when in fact, they're using Chartreuse.

It's upsetting that people are ignorant of the difference between WHITE, and CYAN.

The fact of the matter is, most PC lighting is Cyan and NOT WHITE.

Liquid metal is  --THEREFORE.--   Deceptive.

After the alloying, it conducts heat unevenly.  The cpu does not have probes in all spots, the overall temp may read low, but the HOTSPOTS can get out of control, and either lead to throttling, or long term damage.

Went in, cleaned out stock liquid metal today, replaced with 7950.

Runs gud'


You can already see the liquid metal is alloying, Hard blackish patches.  Overtime, the heat conduction becomes really uneven and no-bueno.

Basically, realistically, liquid metal still has pump-out issues because the chip flexes alot under heat.

It's better than paste, but after about 1 year, 1.5 years, the conduction becomes very uneven.


Finally, Liquid metal in laptops , it's just not safe.  Tp4 took it apart, and you could already see the liquid metal has run up against the foam "dam".

If you drop or shook this thing hard enough, there's more than enough liquid metal in there to short out the whole Kuhjiggr.


Peace of Mind.   Just say no to Mobile Liquid Metal.

Examples below,  Tp4's chip is smaller, but same issue. Look at all the black stuff.  Gallium not only alloys with copper, but also nickle, even with nickle plating, it's not bulletproof.

That foam dam material is also really bad. It hardens and thins out over time due to extreme heat in laptops. So eventually, it's no longer a soft pliable material, it hardens, and becomes brittle, it's only a matter of time before it leaks.

Another scenario is, the foam melts enough to form a full air seal around the core.  If you went from cold to hot air, and it's hardened+brittle, you can have A BLOW OUT,  where the liquid metal Explodes outward following the hot air breaking the seal.

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK CYL Deathly Queen - Taking over from Tyson

Hi! The inspiration for the set is very prominent in its use of Katakana, that's the reason why the base kit uses Katakana subs.

As for why there's no Latin base kit, it's because, as of now, it's very hard to have two base kits and get them both to MOQ, but if there's enough demand, it could be possible to have an alt latin alphas kit.

Hi! Just wondering, why doesn’t GMK Deathly Queen have a regular Base Kit with standard Latin legends?

Oh, I got it, Thank you for explaining! The set looks amazing. I hope there will be a Latin-only kit, or maybe in R2.

Reviews / Cherry MX Emerald Reef Switch Review

Hey all,
 
In an unprecedented fashion from what I can remember, I'm back with a second silent tactile switch review in a row. However, these just aren't any switch - they're the newest Cherry C-Lab designed switch featuring a new spring, a new platform that hasn't yet been received worldwide, and even improved factory lubing. Trust me when I say that the Cherry MX Emerald Reefs aren't just your average Cherry switch...

As always, thank you all for the continued readership and support each and every month. As I share at the top end of this article, it has been a rather crazy couple of weeks in between this review and the last one and knowing you all would be excited by these switches and their performance really helped me power through this one!

Cheers,
Goat
