Alternative installations
Beside the presented varieties of installation there are many other possibilities, to melt the Liquid
MetalPad between for example the processor and the cooler. Very effective is the use of hot-air gun/
hair-dryer, which heat the cooler accurately. Please note that you regulate this according to the
capacity of the unit and that you only heat precise the cooling element. This method works especially
at air cooler with fins / heat-pipe function. A short-term heating of the cooler up to approx. 60°C leads
to the wanted result. Please note that it is advised against using hot-air guns with water cooling.
Alternative methods such as these are at your own risk.
Removing of the Liquid MetalPad
If you want to remove the Liquid MetalPad, you can peel it off the contact area carefully. Depending on
the structure of the surface it should peel off very easy and may leave small residues. You can remove
these quickly and simply with a metal grinding pad. Coollaboratory sells this high-quality metal
grinding pad in larger packs of MetalPad.
You can also leave the residues in the depressions on the contact areas, because they rather improve
the cooling performance when using other pastes.

Please note that you don’t exert too much pressure with the metal grinding pad to avoid a

Problems and solutions
The installation at my water cooling system does not work.
The installation of the Coollaboratory MetalPads with water-cooling systems is a little
more complicated, than with air cooler. The water, which circulates in the water-cooling,
keeping the melting-temperature of the processor under the temperature that is needed
for the MetalPad, also at high strain. To complete the installation process successfully,
you can deactivate the pump
– If that riskless possible. When there is no water flow, the
heat cannot conduct fast enough to the radiator. As soon as the MetalPad is melted,
activate immediate the pump of the water cooling.
activate immediate the pump of the water cooling.
Attention: Please inform yourself about the water-cooling system / pump at
the manufacture, whether and how you can deactivate the pump of the system
briefly. If available you can read the manual.

Why are my temperatures inferior with the MetalPad as with an e.g. standard silicon
heat-conductive paste?
In that case the installation of the MetalPad is either not successful completed or the
areas of contact were insufficient cleaned. Residues of an ancient paste out of for
instance silicon or metallic oxide affect insulating and consequently negative.
