Can I use thermal paste for GPU and CPU?

Yep you can. Yep its worth the effort if the old paste has gone dry and not working right.

Can you put thermal paste on a GPU laptop?

Apply the Thermal Paste Above the CPU and GPU. Place a very small drop of the thermal paste, no larger than a grain of rice, onto the surface of the central processing unit and graphics processing unit.

Do you need thermal paste between CPU and cooler?

Every CPU cooler needs thermal paste, but many have it pre-applied, which simplifies the installation process. To find out if you have pre-applied paste, check the bottom of the base plate or water block of your CPU cooler that attaches to the CPU.

Do you need different thermal paste for GPU?

If you get a cheap thermal paste that is conductive, there is a possibility that it might cause shorts on the components that surround the graphics card. This is a particular case where you will want to be careful about what type of thermal paste you are applying to the GPU and how much you’ve decided to use.

Do laptop CPUs need thermal paste?

In most cases, your CPU may run hot with no explanation, even though your fan and heat sink work properly. Your laptop will also need thermal paste any time you remove your CPU cooler from the laptop motherboard. Failing to replace thermal paste upon replacing the CPU cooler will cause overheating.

Should I spread thermal paste on laptop?

It might be tempting to spread the thermal paste onto the CPU yourself. We recommend letting the pressure from the base-plate or waterblock being installed do it for you. Incorrect manual application can cause air bubbles to form in the paste, which can negatively impact the thermal conductivity.

Do you need thermal paste for GPU?

Yes, it may do the job for a while, but after a bit of time, you may notice GPU operating temperatures increasing.
