High-Performance Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material
The PS5 relies on Liquid Metal to bridge the gap between the APU and the heatsink; in the CFI-1100, the reduced heatsink surface area makes this interface critical. Over time, 'dry spots' or gallium-oxide layers form on the silicon, breaking the thermal path and causing immediate overheating under load. Re-applying high-conductivity liquid metal restores the thermal bond and prevents emergency shutdowns.

Internal Cooling Fan (17-Blade Revision)
The CFI-1100 uses a specific fan blade geometry designed to compensate for the smaller heatsink by pushing more air at similar RPMs. If the fan bearings fail or the blades accumulate significant debris, the reduced thermal mass of the 1100-series heatsink cannot dissipate heat fast enough, leading to rapid thermal runaway.

APU Thermal Shield/Gasket Kit
A compromised foam gasket or barrier around the APU can allow liquid metal to leak or air to enter the vacuum-sealed thermal zone. This leads to oxidation of the TIM and eventual overheating, necessitating a fresh seal during any thermal service to prevent future migration.
