    I want replace in month or so, my gelid gc extreme (cpu/gpu) on my asus g513qy, to SYY which should arrive in few weeks from US. LM was there original

    I was reading multiple comments that SYY doing great inside laptops plus, found this benchmark which makes me happy: https://albestech.com/migliore-pasta-termica-2021/

    I own Asus G513qy advantage edition with RX6800M and Ryzen 5900HX. Currently I have Gelid VC Extreme on CPu and GPu. GPU max hotspot was 103c and after last repaste max hotspot 99c (mostly 98c max), and cpu maxing 97c. And yes Asus stock LM paste was going to 102c gpu Hotspot, tried few times repasting LM (King Silver) but as redditors mentioned, some laptop units in the series has less mounting pressure, so good paste and good pasting, can be as good or better than LM. So I stick to good pasting, Gelid is fine, but I hope SYY will give even better tems and drop few celcius :)

    P.S. I also bought in same order Iceberg thermal Plus :

    Just in case, if SYY won't do great, I can try Iceberg as well which as some said is basically part with Maxtor CTG9 (not sure how much truth to it).

    What your suggestions for pasting method on this laptop GPU and CPU Dies?

    Thermalright TFX works great (I've been using it for half a year now almost)

    So SYY should be incredible then as replacement to Gelid I have now... since SYY is pretty much par with TFX as multiple sources say including this benchmark above :)

    Can you suggest particular paste apply method in my case? i shared above photos of Dies and chamber it self.

    Thank you!

    I use a spatula to keep the paste even in the pad and avoid over lapping it with excessive paste
