Advice for changing the thermal paste of my Razer Blade Late 2017

[Wersty]

I've owned my Blade for about 9 months now and I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far aside from a few issues and the most prominent one would be the cooling and thermals of the blade during gaming.

I use the Blade for school and for gaming and when I do game, the Blade, as most of you know, gets really toasty and living here in a tropical country near the equator of the Earth,

it gets very toasty and I fear it will degrade not only the components like the CPU and GPU but also everything else inside it including the battery which I wish to keep in its best state for as long

as possible due to my fear of facing Razers infamous customer service. 

 

Anyhoo, I'd like to seek advice as I've been researching on what thermal paste to use to help with the thermals of my Blade and have come up with 3 options

 

One being using a better thermal paste like IC Diamond or something

IC Diamonds' thermal conductivity is 4.5W/m-K

 

The other option which is slghtly less safe due to its electrical conductivity would be IC Graphite thermal pad

The pad features a thermal conductivity of 35W/m-K which on paper seems like a pretty big jump from IC diamond and I'm not certain if it will translate in real world performance.

 

And as for the last and certainly not least option which is by far the most riskiest one of all, Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, a liquid metal paste.

Its liquid meaning I'd have to ensure that it doesn't ever leak from the heatsink as it will eat away at aluminium and also electrically conductive.

However, its 73W/m-k of thermal conductivity definitely will provide a huge drop in thermals in my Blade as I've read from the 1-2 people who have actually done it.

 

So, that's all I have for options and would like to hear your opinions on this as I'd rather have a less riskier solution to my issue.Thanks in advance

I wouldn't use conductive paste in a laptop in fear of it moving so much that the paste spills off the cpu die. But what I would try is some normal thermal paste like the MX-4, then get a laptop cooling pad or one of these:

Laptop Blower 1

Laptop Blower 2

If you know how to apply LM, go for it

 

MX-4 can dry quickly in laptops

I'm constantly moving around with my laptop and my bag is already full of books and what not. Wouldn't want to bring a blower on top of all that. 

I might try a better thermal paste first and move on if I am still not satisfied with it I think.

Do all thermal pastes dry up? And when they do what are the effects on thermal conductivity?

Some will dry out quickly due to low heatsink mounting pressure in laptops. MX-4 and NT-H1. Kryonaut and GC Extreme also need decent heatsink

 

Imagine there's little to no thermal paste on the die
