laptops

There is a beech mai gl63-8sdk, it's time to replace the thermal paste and here it's a little unclear that the vrm doesn't seem to have thermal paste, and it doesn't seem to be a thermal pad, I also don't understand by touch who came across this?

Answer 1

This is the so-called liquid thermal pad

Answer 2

It looks like some weird thermal paste. I think you can safely replace it with a regular thermal paste or thermal pad.

Answer 3

where is the pasta for vrm? 99.9% it's a gasket
