What thermal paste do you use for laptops?

Question

System administration

Good day.
Advise please normal thermal paste for laptops.
For now, I want to buy

But is it worth putting it on laptops?
I just got a very hot "patient".

And this is with the new arctic cooling 6w/mk
thermal pads. Titan Nano Greese thermal paste is available, but it was produced in 2013, so I really don’t want to take risks because the last time i7 (another patient) started to evaporate it (literally (strong smell of thermal paste, but she didn’t let him warm up)), so I concluded that it was undesirable to use it in laptops that get very hot.

Answer 2

If there was a thermal pad there, then you must first make sure that it can be safely thrown away.
Often the heatsink does not press against the processor without a thick gasket, or there is a distortion due to the fact that the heatsink rests on an adjacent chip.
Take the old thermal paste and try what print you get without a thermal pad, if the print is "correct" then erase the old one and put it on MX-4 or any other decent one.
If it will be seen that the fit is not tight or not over the entire area, then naturally there is no point in choosing thermal paste, when using thermal pads, thermal paste is meaningless. you need to think about how to get rid of the thermal pad completely or at least reduce its thickness, stretch your imagination and figure out how to press the heatsink more tightly to the processor, maybe you can bend / undermine the mount.
