After ~2.5 years since I de-lidded, added liquid metal, and replaced the IHS of my 8700K, core #1 suddenly experienced a massive spike in temperature in usage (around 24-25 deg. higher) while the other 5 cores only experienced a small rise in temps (2~3 deg.) Suspected the liquid metal needed replacing so I opened it up. Turns out the liquid metal was fully absorbed by the copper IHS, no trace of it left on the CPU.
The conductonaut formed some kind of copper + liquid metal alloy/amalgam, wondering if it's still usable. Currently using the stock IHS + conductonaut.
