I have a Thinkpad x1 extreme gen 5 with an i9 and 3080. Liquid metal. Overheats like crazy. I want to get in there but I hear it's such a pain to deal with I've been putting it off. Definitely will be swapping to one of the thermal pads when I do it.

Not the end of the world to deal with, you just have to be very careful. No harder than mobile phone repair if that’s something you’ve ever done

After how long? I.e. did you get a few good years with it?
