I would like to change the thermal paste inside my laptop (Lenovo LOQ 15APH8), my first option was PTM7950 but after further research i found that Lenovo have already been using PTM7958-SP as their stock thermal paste.

PTM7958 is designed especially for high-performance chips requiring exceptional thermal performance, durability, and reliability. Nvidia and Lenovo have already been using PTM7958 for their top-of-the-line flagship GPUs and gaming laptops.

So i was wondering if there are any differences between the 2. 
Thanks

The best thermal paste is only a couple of degrees better than the worst thermal paste. Unless this is an older machine, and it has been a few years, It really isn't worth changing out the stock thermal paste (whatever it may be).

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need. Expand this signature for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components.

 

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.
