“I've seen a couple of reviews saying the GPU dies very quickly, most blame this on a bad liquid metal paste job. Can I repaste the machine without voiding warranty? I would repaste it with non conductive paste.”

I own (3) of these laptops. Never saw an issue - running great - mining 24-7 or playing games. If you need to replace the liquid metal - I recommend you use computer services in your area - plus use the best liquid metal available. Some are not so good. Since I'm quite sure AMD used one of the best metals - I figure I have 3 or 4 years before I need to worry about that. In any case - just keep an eye on your temps - it will be your clue if the Liquid Metal is deteriorating. It will start out slowly - 3c to 5c higher temps - then gradually work it's way up to 10c or higher. I keep logs on temps over 70c. Then it's time to find a Computer Shop that will redo your liquid metal. By that time - more good metal/paste might even be available. Check your fans at the same time, and if needed clean or replace. Good Luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Manually reapplying thermal paste is not advisable and can void your warranty. It's best to RMA your unit to have our team reapply the thermal paste.
