Nothing inherently wrong with it...should do the job you need it to. I would definitely upgrade the thermal paste to the Arctic paste.

Not sure which laptops have been mentioned around here for cooling so may be worth looking in the relevant section of the forum. Might be worth also investing in a cooling pad to help things

Do you see difference in thermal pastes at all?

Well, like most other things, the better the paste the better a job it does...it's a bit like the oil for a car...sure you can buy a cheap oil and it will do a job but you will likely need to replace it more often whereas a better oil will last longer and do a better job as it has a better chemical balance and so sticks to the parts it should a bit better. That's the way I understand it anyway....ultimately getting the better paste can't do any harm and, even if it is only 5% better, it's still worth it in a laptop where little bit helps

Yeah, explained like that it does make sense. Because when you check in google there are a lot of different opinions. I do not know if i can change my order now i will check. If not, i have got Arctic mx4 at home so i will change it myself then. Thank you!
