Yea, imagine flowing mercury - it's a bit like that. Typically made of tin, gallium, and indium (and probably some proprietary-fu) Supposedly better thermal conductivity; downside is... that applies electrically too It sounds like Sony (or Foxconn/whoever) is putting too much on there. A surprisingly low amount will last/suffice
