Do you know you have a thermal problem with your SSD?
Wouldn't recommend it. What seems to be the problem?
Unless it is thermal throttling, I wouldn't worry about it.62 °C on second sensor without doing much on SSD seems like a bad temperature. I want to drop it to as low as possible

Liquid metal would require a pressure force to keep the heatsink attached. Would you have that or do you need a thermal pad type substance to secure as well as transfer heat?
There are a lot of things with voltages on an SSD. I would not use a conductive thermal compound. There are lots of good non-conductive thermal compounds. Why risk it for a few deg C?I will use tight, heat resistant rubber bands for that)))

I have no idea. It sounds like you have your mind made up that you have the best approach, so all I can say is good luck.I think nail polish would solve that problem. Or am I wrong?
Some components on these NVMe actually degrade less from higher temps. GamerNexus had a story about it awhile back I believe. The aftermarket heatsinks can attribute to this. I'm doubtful the service life would be impacted much by those temps.

And when a teeny bit of that liquid metal oozes out onto the rest of the SSD?Which material is used for chips outer layer? I think it's not conductive, right?

Yes, the outer layer is (I believe) non conductive.You didn't answer the question on my reply
Yes, the outer layer is (I believe) non conductive.
And my question still stands...what happens when some leaks out?
You're wanting to use a substance not meant for this application, on a device that does not need it, to solve a problem that does not exist.
"62 °C on second sensor without doing much on SSD seems like a bad temperature. "That's subjective

..is also 'subjective'.
