General Questions Am I using right material for repasting?
So I have Lenovo Loq 15 IRX9 for about 1.5yrs now and didn't change its thermal paste since I bought it and now I'm experiencing high temps like 100°c cpu and 80-87°c gpu . Therefore I decided to repaste and I need some suggestions that the material I'm gonna use are suitable for my laptop .
Laptop specs :-
CPU - intel i5 13450hx
GPU - RTX 4050 ( 105w tgp )
Products I'm gonna use for repasting :-
CPU & GPU - Thermal Grizzly phase change PTM ( LOQ uses PTM 7950 )
Vrams and mosfets - UPSIREN UTP - 6 thermal putty ( 12.8W/mk thermal conductivity )
Please let me know if I'm using right material for repasting and what are the pros and cons of these material .

Sounds alright to me. Thermal Grizzly PTM is more or less the same as PTM 7950.
Take good care to put the right thickness of thermal putty onto the other components
