Thermal Pad or Putty

[hermesa]

So guys I removed my factory white-blue sillicone liquid like substance from my laptop(ASUS TUF A15) vrm/chokes and mofsets, and now I have thermal paste there(MX-6) %The picture is before I removed the factory thermal grease/paste or whatever it is.Now I wonder how to fix it , because NOW I know thermal paste is not good for VRM and other stuff but only for CPU/GPU Chip , I ordered Upsiren U6 Pro , but ChatGPT said to me it's not the best option too because it can cause pressure on the mofsets and VRM's I am really really confused and angry at the same time....In the end , what should I use ? I prefer to avoid playing and cutting 22 mini thermal pads so- it's too many sweats so I decided to order thermal putty... Any suggestions ? I just don't want to burn out my laptop since it's brand new.Don't ask me why I changed factory thermal grease and paste.I don't know , but temperatures decreased with 5-6C on both cpu and gpu.Just now I am bothered with the fact that there is a thermal paste on my VRAMs and chokes and mofsets.And no - I can't check VRM temperatures because it is a laptop and it doesn't have such a sensor. What should I do ?

use as is for now (without putting load on the sys), replace it with proper gpu stuff as soon as you can, as its usually thicker.

if irc, there recently was one released thats more of a paste (vs pad), and desigend for gpu use, cant tell waht brand or name.

Both work, putty works great on my laptop (UTP-8). Just watch some videos on putty and pick your method. Spatula/Fingers, syringe/roll into ball, and finally the log method.

Everyone told me that thermal grease/paste is not an option since its designed only for CPU/GPU and for this reason I need thermal patty or thermal pad.I ordered this Upsiren U6 pro, it has 12.8 w/KM but this ChatGPT scared me as DeepSeek told me to use thermal patty and it will be perfect while GPT said the opposite...Idc about the method as soon as it do its job I will spend time doing it and securing my laptop not frying or damaging from high temps.

I think you may be getting some items confused here.
Upsiren U6 Pro is thermal putty / thermal grease, whatever - it is perfect (imo) - from your picture above, apply everywhere that has something EXCEPT the gpu / cpu. I use U6 Pro myself, applied using a syringe - and it works a treat.

For the GPU / CPU - you use thermal compound or some folks may call it thermal grease or whatever - the terminology between the two actual things (thermal compound for gpu / cpu and thermal putty for everything else can be confusing. The gpu / cpu is where you would use a thermal compound like Thermalgrizzly or MX6 - BUT, I wouldn't recommend them as they will tend to leach out due to being bare die. For gpu / cpu on laptop, I'd recommend a PTM7950 phase change pad (it's what I use) or Thermalgrizzly Kryosheet (some love it - I tried it and had mixed results). Or, can use something similar to these items but do note that PTM7950 is .25mm thick - if it is advertised as .20 it is FAKE (which is common). For PTM7950 an easy source of genuine is the lttstore.

PTM7950 or Kryosheet and the like will not leach out. PTM7950 lasts years in my experience and Kryosheet, well, should last forever essentially if it works for you.
