      Yeah. The behavior Steve described at the end suggests the fan control in the PS5 bios has been tweaked to work specifically with the characteristics of liquid metal. Thermal paste differs from that, so the cooling system works incorrectly by revving up and slowing down continuously. It's actually quite interesting how it's so particular about it. The hysteresis might be quite narrow. I guess all this makes sense in the big picture of manufacturing millions of consoles and thus needing to optimise everything.

      @@trappz_io2620 ​ Thermal paste transfers heat less efficiently so the heatsink doesn't get as hot because more heat is staying in the GPU which is not good. With the liquid metal it transfers heat way better so more of the heat from the GPU goes to the heatsink where the fan can blow it out the back resulting in a higher temp than the thermal paste. I hope that helps I'm not the greatest at explaining things lol.

      That's one of the reasons I don't want a PS5 right away. Sony launch consoles always seem to have some form of widespread problem. Everyone else can test it, I'll pick one up in a few years when it and the games are cheaper if it works out okay.
      Others include the current lack of games, that it's not even ready yet because the system software doesn't even support expandable storage, the always on mic that's probably always recording and selling the recordings to third parties, a lack of "play anywhere" functionality like Xbox and PC have (yes Microsoft owns Windows, but Sony could partner with an existing store like Steam or make their own store/launcher), and annoyance at being expected to buy all new controllers and accessories because of greed.

      ​@@LeBrulox I have zero knowledge in electronics. Isn't it possible to check how much power the cooler consumes by setting some sensor before the VCC wire? Or just check if the wires in the port are terminated correctly (back in the days, I was impressed that some of PC motherboards [the Realtek-based ones?] could tell if there's a mini-jack connected to audio output or not)?

      @@iXPilot Yes, it's possible and some chips have that capability but the reason why you don't see this implemented very often is because the temperature sensors inside the console already give you the indirect information regarding the state of the fan, i.e, if it is turned on or not, and consoles specifically have A LOT of those sensors so you can almost precisely point out which parts are overheating. Also, many chips come with temperature sensors so it's more convenient to work with them since the beginning

    I assume you are using AS5 thermal paste, whilst not a bad one, it's not the greatest. Perhaps a premium paste in comparison with the gaskets off would be more like a real world test, especially as the price point of liquid metal is high.

      Another late comment. The perfect amount of thermal paste is a flattened out even layer carefully spread out . Not a dollop in the middle. This makes the entire result null and void in my book. Thermal paste is used to fill invisible surface impurities between processor and heat sink . Some people sand down the heat sink to such a ridiculous level of perfection that nothing is needed! as there are no impurities in the bond between heat sink and processor.
      However Liquid metal itself does have cooling properties on its own. Thermal paste doesn’t. By removing the fan the liquid on its own would cool the processor. Thermal paste doesn’t do that it’s not how it works. If the fans were connected and thermal paste properly installed the system would work fine for both.
