What's your budget for thermal paste?

Thermal compound has the potential to become less effective over time and therefore needs to be replaced eventually. This one from the manufacturer of Alice seems to be a great option for changing your thermal compound and there is 30g of it included which should last multiple applications of it. Changing your thermal compound of your processor is important because if it is not changed it could cause issues in performance. If you want to not have to keep replacing the paste then a thermal pad being placed between your processor and heatsink would be perfect for that and they offer good heat dissipation although might be expensive and may not fit within your budget.

The stock paste which was applied by the manufacturer in the case of a pre-built or by the user in a user created computer has the potential to wear out with use and therefore replacing it with a new thermal compound would offer better cooling to the system. The quality of this paste could be compared to the stock or somewhat better because often the stock paste is averagely effective and with wear it can make it not able to do as effective of a job at cooling as it had before. For laptops, I do not think that investing in a good thermal compound would help much in cooling and a cooling pad might be more effective. Since the paste is to be replaced overtime, buying a thermal pad might be a good investment as they do not really wear out and offer good conductivity of heat. Basically, I think that if you need to change the paste I would go for that one which I have linked within this thread or a thermal pad because the difference would not be that significant for laptops because they use low-power CPUs and this paste should be sufficient. Although using a thermal pad (if it will work with your budget) would be a good option if you do not want to have to keep changing the paste and want consistent cooling performace results from product that you use.

Not more than RS.1000 but would like to go as cheap as possible.
Also I found this Arctic silver MX4 which is mostly recommended by everyone.

MX-4 is bad for laptops

 

The best I think is Mastergel Pro, thought there aren't any testing related to laptops

 

Arctic Silver stuffs have OKish performance but they are cheap and in large quantity
