Graphene Sheet Swap Reportedly Boosted Intel Core Ultra 9 285H Laptop Performance by 35%

Wccftech reports that a user replaced the liquid metal cooling material on a laptop with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor with a graphene sheet. The reported change followed thermal throttling at 105°C with the default liquid metal.

According to the report, the swap increased performance by 35% and significantly lowered temperatures. The source describes this as a user experiment; it does not provide further details about how performance or temperatures were measured.

Liquid metal is highly thermally conductive, but the report notes that a spill could damage other components. The user tried graphene as an alternative in this laptop. The report does not establish that the material is suitable for other laptops or configurations.
