In this video we will be having a closer look at liquid metal. I first heard about this stuff when the new PlayStation 5 was presented. Basically a metal substance that features a way better thermal conductivity than the usual thermal paste. But does that mean that we should now all use liquid metal? In this video I will do a couple of tests in order to show you that this is not such a good idea ;-) Let's get started!
