Legion 9 water cooling questions.

I have watched a few vids that are available and I must say the machine looks amazing, there's use of liquid metal and vents on the top deck too. It seems very well thought out. So far though, we have seen no actual thermal performance results. I mean a few people have had hands on it and sing it's praises... but there has been nothing worth actually seeing other than Austin actually showing the motherboard and the little loop itself.

I would love more info on how it actually helps, I do not mean that in a flippant manner. Water cooling is best used to keep temps lower and also when directly connected to a radiator to dispel that heat. Having it turn on a 84c seems a little late to me? Then the imagery doesn't really show where that loop goes, so is hard to tell it it does go to the fin stacks or not. I assume it does... otherwise it wouldn't make sense. I gotta say I was a little disappointed that it was GPU/ GPU VRMS only, that i9 is likely to get pretty toasty even after undervolting (assuming Legion allows tuning).

Dan Cox  Will you guys be showcasing more about the Legion 9 and how the cooling works? I love techy stuff like this and would love a deeper dive into the building of the Legion 9. Good choice using Liquid metal too, is it a special blend that you guys had made, or snapped up Conductonaut extreme now it's commercially available? Just reworked the Legion 5 I won for my girlfriend with that stuff and Chopped 10c off of the temps so it really does work.
