Should I Keep the Foam Barriers After Replacing Liquid Metal with PTM7950?
Hello, I have an Asus ROG Strix G15 gaming laptop. After two years of overheating, I decided to remove the liquid metal and replace it with PTM7950.
My question is: Should I remove the foam barriers from the vapor chamber? I think removing them should be fine since I am no longer using liquid metal. Also, they are slightly deformed, as you can see in the image. However, I am concerned about their possible role in maintaining contact pressure or preventing dust buildup.
That’s why I’m asking whether I should keep them or not. Thanks!
