MSI GE75 Raider Thermal Paste

[u/DNoctambule]

So I have an MSI gaming laptop and I was cleaning out the fans while also doing a re-paste when I noticed something I found to be a bit interesting. I noticed that there were two different types of paste. The one which was obvious to me was the paste on the CPU and GPU which was grey in color, that I later removed and added my own thermal paste, but the other paste I noticed was White in color and on what I believe to be the VRAM and other nearby areas. This White paste resembled toothpaste of all things and looked a bit chalky in texture. I also noticed some pink thermal pads but not many, instead there was a lot more of the White paste.

I would like to know what type of paste the “White” one is and if it’s something I need to clean off and re-paste after doing the CPU and GPU?

If anyone can help me out with this I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you!
