Check before using liquid metal or conductive sheets.
Liquid metal is electrically conductive and must not be used on aluminium. KryoSheet also needs care around exposed components and correct sizing. Use the application guide before fitting.
Still not sure?
Choose paste if you want the safest option. Choose sheets or PTM for clean fitting. Choose liquid metal only if you understand the risks and compatibility checks.
