Does anyone have experience with liquid metal in a laptop?

So i bought some Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut for my laptop because it is hot and loud AF.
I just realized, that when I'm walking to school during winter in -15ºC, the laptop probably gets cooler than 10ºC, which is the minimum recommended temperature for the conductonaut.
Apparently the thermal conductivity of the metal decreases a lot at that temperature, but I was wondering if anything else happens to it, and if it's bad that it freezes twice a day for a few months.
 
It shouldn't make any difference. 50 degrees Fahrenheit is just fine. Also it's always recommended to let the laptop warm up to room temp if it's extremely cold so you don't shatter the LCD screen.
 
You could do some experiments, put a sample outside subjected to freezing temperature cycles alternated with 80C temp, and see if it separates into liquid and solid... or just contact the manufacturer and ask. I would have assumed the temp spec was just for effective performance and agree with daveybrat that you should let the laptop warm up before operating it.

An insulated laptop bag should help a lot in keeping it from getting very cold if the walk is not long.
