Learned the hard way about cheap thermal paste on a PS5 swap

I figured I'd save $8 by buying a no-name thermal paste off Amazon for my PS5 fan mod. After three weeks my system was hitting 70 degrees under load and I had to redo the whole thing with Arctic MX-4 for $12. Anyone else burned by bargain thermal compounds?

Wait, did you use it for brushing or something else?
