Oh yeah, we do. Two different tiers of it. One is a simple blow out with compressed air(from and actual air-tank) with a toothbrush clean and wipe-down. The other is a more through clean involving disassembly and q-tip detailing. This is where we repaste the TIM. We will not be doing that on PS5s however once they start coming in.

Yes, the LM TIM. There will never be a need to service it.
Right. The PS5 is surprisingly easy to take apart, so cleanings will be easy as well.

Ok, just watched this and thought it would be very informative for those who are interested in the science of TIMs;
Everything about the methodology used in this video is something that can taken very seriously.
He followed up with this one;
I want to try this stuff!
LTT did a video on this stuff.
If any of you want to give it a try;

High Performance Thermal Paste - this is a thermal paste/grease, not an adhesive. See it in action on our YouTube channel - https://youtu.be/Glfak2B9J5U

And you likely bought something very similar to what was made in the video, which means you really are good to go.
This looks interesting, but where are the reviews? Those "Awards" at the bottom of that page are meaningless without third-party analysis to back up the claims. I'm not willing to accept the performance claims until it's been tested.

With that combination of metals, run-off is unlikely. What makes me dubious is the bismuth. It's a terrible conductor of heat and even with indium and copper in the mix, the properties of bismuth remain. Still, if they have made it work, I would like to see proof.

Surface tension. Those particular metals have very low surface tension at these temps. Very unlikely to run and drip.
While these are true statements, there are certain combinations that can yield better results than others. If this company has found a combination ratio that works well, then it'll be something. That's why I want to see testing..

There are, including some comparative testing done by me but I don't remember which pages they're on. Back in June or July of this year I think? You're going to have to look for yourself..
That is both inaccurate and an unfair comparison.

I believe, but then again, I'm a scientist...
That's a bit tougher to believe. AS5 is still good, but it is out-shined by the latest and greatest which are mostly on the same cost level.
