This video seems to be about LM on untreated copper (which I thought wasn't really advised).

Now, I personally have had two builds with LM. One with LM as the material for a CPU re-lid, and another for a direct-die application. Neither touched aluminum or untreated copper.

The re-lidded CPU is still going strong, no issues. But with the direct die application, I found the performance to significantly degrade after two years. Apparently there's a pump-out effect.

I ended up switching to PTM. Same temps as LM, but zero degradation so far.
