Flabbergasted GPU repair wizard highlights dangers of liquid metal after leak kills entire RTX 5070 Ti — user-applied TIM spread to every crevice of the PCB, physically cracking and shorting out

An RTX 5070 Ti with user-applied liquid metal died because the TIM leaked out everywhere and shorted multiple components, eventually killing the core as well. Despite being part of a "repair" video, there's nothing really here to fix, as most of the important ICs would need to be replaced or at least reballed.
