Sad that CT took down their forums. I had been reasonably active there like many others.

Anyhow, I've been nursing my two TMIV's along since April. One continues to crank out a reasonably stable 1.6 th with decent core temps. The other is hobbled down to 1.2 th as one core gets far too hot. I've applied Noctua NT-H1 twice. Worked well for a while, but then temps went back up. Decided to give Liquid Pro a try.

Now I've got my LPro ready to go. I'm hoping I'll see gains similar to what others have claimed here as well as a solution that keeps working (hopefully).

My question is, do I need to let the LPro cure before firing my machine back up at all? Or should I just run it at "low" (PL 1-3) power while the stuff cures for 40hrs or so. Or even better, can I just go right up to full throttle (PL 9)?

I know the material cures, I'm just not clear on what care needs to be taken during that process.

The documentation provided by Cool Laboratory is both a bit short and sometimes torqued by the German translation. They make no mention of curing, or oddly even needing to use the included "rough" pad which I'm guessing some may use to rough up the surface?

I think I may skip that step on my Goldstrike chips though. Maybe more something for CPU/GPUs where there is a larger smooth surface to deal with.

I did not use the scotch pad. I went full throttle after applying with no problems. I did use the provided q-tip for spreading. Put it all back together and fired up! Just be careful with the LP and take your time, DO NOT get that stuff anywhere other than on the chip surface. Good luck and report back!
