Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material (Galinstan)
The liquid metal alloy has migrated away from the center of the APU die due to gravity and insufficient retention ridges in early hardware revisions. This creates a void in the thermal path, leading to rapid heat accumulation on the silicon surface that exceeds the heatsink's dissipation capacity. Reapplying a uniform layer of Galinstan alloy restores the necessary molecular bridge for efficient heat transfer to the cooling assembly.
