➀ The South Korean-made Amech SGT-4 thermal paste emits acetic acid vapors, corrodes copper surfaces, and causes permanent damage to CPUs/coolers through 'ant nest corrosion'.
➁ Despite manufacturer claims of RoHS/REACH compliance, chemical analysis reveals its reactive acetoxy-curing formula reduces thermal conductivity by 30% and chemically 'glues' heatsinks to processors.
➂ Community backlash intensifies as the manufacturer dismisses evidence and attacks critics, eroding trust amid widespread reports of hardware damage.
