This shared loan model is common practice amongst tech reviewers. The last reviewer I saw of this instance was for the new AMD Radion 390 gpu where they found the card was running hot. On closer inspection they noticed some screws had their finish etched away, where a previous reviewer had performed a strip down and not bothered to re-apply any fresh paste.
