Gigabyte used a “Server Grade Thermal Gel” in their 50 series GPUs and recently users have reported that it has started to ooze out of their GPUs… so I decided to tear down my AORUS (Gigabyte) 5090 and immediately regretted it…

This type of thermal putty has been increasingly common in laptops over the past 5-6 years, I’m kinda surprised it took this long for it to start displacing pads in GPUs
So as a person who like to replace thermal paste on my GPU after a few years, using this would be a deal breaker for me.
