Answer

MSI laptop bundled with 12th Gen. Intel® Core™ i9 processor applies the phase-change liquid metal pad on the CPU thermal module. 

Unlike the traditional thermal pad/grease, the phase change liquid metal pad becomes fluid texture during use and makes it hard to maintain.



Advanced skill is necessary when re-pasting, though, still high risks even to professions. Any inappropriate operation can lead to permanent or irreversible damage to the laptop.

MSI strongly recommends users who need a re-paste/replace for the thermal grease or encounter any abnormal high CPU temperature contact the MSI service center for help. MSI Service team can help provide valid tests, performance assurance, and away from any accidents.
