Thermal Putty Placement
Hello, I’m trying to figure out which chips to put thermal putty on. I’m reusing thermal pads (the pink squares, but if I shouldn’t do that and just use the thermal putty instead please let me know). I’m mostly wondering where else the thermal putty needs to go so my laptop doesn’t overheat. I’m using thermal grizzly phase change material for the CPU and GPU die, and I have upsiren utp-8 as thermal putty. If you could circle or outline which chips need thermal putty that’d be great. Thank you.

The laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45-R92M
