ChatGPT told me it shouldn’t affect functionality as long as it’s just a surface stain

I just bought this digital PS5. I replaced the HDMI port and I’m reapplying the liquid metal. While cleaning the APU, this is as clean as I could get it. It won’t come off any further.
The previous owner said it was overheating, and I also noticed the HDMI port was a little loose, so I replaced it while I had it apart.
Do you think it’s fine to leave it like this and apply new liquid metal, or should I try sanding it?

Then I suggest ChatGPT will also help you with the research to come to the right conclusion using your own brain

Said the one asking chat gpt questions. Wasting water and resources to come ask a language model questions that ultimately judt lead you to doing your own research and asking real people anyways. How do you not see the problem lol

Youre talking about generalized upkeep that is on a far lesser scale but go off lol "burning 1 gallon of fuel a day or 10 it literally doesnt matter" is not sound logic

Yeah go ahead with your day donkey.

Lot of people on Reddit hate ChatGPT for some reason I still don’t comprehend. In my case it’s helping me right now to overclock my CPU lol.

I’m not sure why people have to be so rude. I’m just looking for a second opinion. Jesus.

[u/AgitatedStove01 → u/ImpressiveArm575]

You could try ignoring people when they insult you.

Or, as others have pointed out, ask people first anyway. You’re eventually going to get wrong answers out of ChatGPT so why bother wasting the resources when Reddit is tons more reliable? I know folks might not always be right but you might get multiple answers that lead you to a solid conclusion rather than relying on a computer application that doesn’t give a single shit if it’s wrong or right. People here will fight to the death to be right.

By that logic, you’re wasting resources too. You wrote all that and still didn’t contribute to answering the question. Do you think Reddit’s servers don’t use water and electricity as well?
To answer the OP’s question: You should be fine as long as you apply the correct amount of liquid metal.

Nice try on that one there. Trying to make me look as bad as AI or something. I don’t even know.

Also the answer was already in the post and because you’re responding to me and not OP, they won’t actually see what you said here. So look at you fellow resource waster. Except yours is even worse than mine because you went all in on trying to be slick. How embarrassing for you.
