Thermal paste instead of thermal putty/pads

[hermesa]

So guys ,long story short I was repasting my laptop thermal paste on my ASUS TUF A15 FA507NVR and I didn't knew the mofsets and chokes and vrms use thermal putty(it came factory with putty not with pads) and I applied MX-6 thermal paste instead.Temperatures for gpu and cpu dropped down but I can't track VRM temps neither mofsets temps.There are no artifacting,shutdowns or smh like that but....Am I cooked ?

What monitoring software?? Try HWInfo64 sensors only and see if you have a VR temp reading.

As a side note, most VRMs are safe past 100c. But laptops may have that setting lower to throttle earlier such as 80c.

Hwinfo doesn't show any vrm on laptops I think.I tried and there are none.

I don't think paste is a safe solution. If it were, the manufacturer who put paste on the core wouldn't waste money on obtaining the putty as an additional supply chain item to add to the bill of materials, and would have instead used paste on the VRM as well.

I ordered upsiren u6 pro(10g) for the vrams and mofsets , hope it works.I was thinking between this one and ThermalGrizzly Putty Advanced (30g) ,but since I didn't found any info about the M/kw for TG i went with upsiren u6

The interesting thing is that the factory substance wasn't exactly like a putty but it was more like sillicone liquid.I removed heatsink without the laptop to been ON for 10+ hours at a 20C degree room temperature and it was liquid and sillicone like substance with white-blue-cyan blue color.I am thinking to put now Upsiren U6 Pro but its too thick , am I in the right way ?
