Can thermal pad fit under the victus gaming 16?

[KaiMaiRuu]

I want to buy a thermal pad but I don't know how big inside a copper heatsink so when I buy it it will fit inside.

Here what I will buy Thermal Grizzly MINUS PAD 8 Thermal Pad 2PCS- 120x20 /0.5 mm./8 W/mK

Here my laptop HP victus gaming 16 r0146tx

(Also I want to replace thermal paste on cpu to thermal pad)

@KaiMaiRuu,

Your M.2 NVMe SSD comes encased in the thermal enclosure, and a thermal pad is already placed inside the top bracket (see pages 34-35 of the manual).

see this HP video where you can see the greenish thermal pad at 5:40.

Your processor supports two M.2 slots, and I suppose the thermal enclosure for the secondary slot has the thermal pad inside.
