![]() I had those alpha cool $40 thermal pads, cut them up, and tried seating the heatsinks with liquid metal but couldn't. I just applied thermal grizzly conductonaut to the eluktronics max 17. Thin and light laptops only benefit from liquid metal because they generate so much heat. I'm assuming you have the latest pro 17, which uses vapour chamber cooling, same as my 2019 blade 15 advanced, if you have an older one with a weaker cooling setup, changing pads might not necessarily improve temps at all, since you have limited headsink and cooling system capacity in the first place, and the pads won't be the bottleneck for heat transfer. ![]() With a pad change, assuming stock pads are around 8w/mk to fujipoly which are like 12, assuming you get the thicknesses perfect, you might see 1 or 2 degrees on your memory and power delivery, which is not worth it IMO. I saw a 15c degree improvement at a benchmark locked to same voltage/frequency on my CPU, but that was due to conductonaut. ![]() The pads used are quite good though, so I wouldn't replace them, just do the repaste. I own a blade 15 and inquired about this before repasting with a conductonaut/kryonaut combo. But it certainly doesn't void your warranty. They do not accept warranty claims if the laptop was damaged by misapplication of said however. Razer allows you to change thermal pads and also thermal paste.
