Consider the specific requirements of your application to determine if additional liquid metal is necessary.

I took apart my M17 R3 and used the liquid metal method shown in Linus's video, but my computer froze because of throttling. He warned me not to use too much. I’m wondering if adding more will improve contact or if I should stop now to avoid damaging the board. Should I try repasting with Kryonaut instead?
Avoid overloading conductive parts to prevent shorts between components. It seems like contact isn't fully established. A tension bracket is likely in place; adding washers might help secure screws better and allow tighter adjustments. I don’t have enough detail about the internal setup to confirm.
