I just repasted my laptop and removing the old thermal putty is quite simple. In fact, using putty to repaste is much easier since you don’t have to know that pad thickness for each part, just put it on and let mounting pressure take care of the rest. Besides, high performance putty like ltp81 outperforms even the best thermal pads. Where Gigabyte cheaper out was using paste on the die instead of PTM7950 like everyone else. Criticize them for that rather than the putty bullshit.
