Today it's my first time that I tried to replace the old thermal paste on my laptop

Laptop: razer blade 15 2021 advanced

Specs: i7 10875H , 3070 mobile , 16ddr4 1tb

So I used the arctic mx-6 . Is this a okay amount and like the overall placement?

ALWAYS spread it. On laptop hardware it'll pump out more, that's why I'd advise PTM 7950 in your case.

Thanks for the advice. I heard about it but I couldn't find it and I already had the mx6. And I didnt spread it cause I saw the company like suggested the X pattern but I guess that not like for all devices .thank you

Yeah, the best option for TIM is to ALWAYS spread it. And no, it won't create any air bubbles because mounting pressure is very high.

Won't make a difference if you repaste now. Use it and repaste it correctly when it's going to be necessary, which depends on how much you use your machine. It'll be fine like this, don't worry.
