Thermal paste compatibility

[ReggyPost]

Hi,

I have the same question. I'd like to replace the original paste with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut. When I first bought it, it was ice cool even running at high capacity.  After two years, it's getting hot at the number pad area, though still cool on the bottom side of the laptop.  I hope by replacing the thermal paste would solve the problem.  Just need to know whether my laptop use ALUMINUM heatsink.  OR  whether it's compatible with the above Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut past.

Thank you.

And another question: Can I upgrade my current 16gb RAM to 24 or 32gb RAM? Is it doable?

Mine laptop model: OMEN by HP Laptop PC 15-ax010ca

16GB RAM

Intel i7-6700HQ@2.6Ghz

Windows 10

I have checked the specifications and you have 16 GB of RAM installed on the computer which is also the maximum RAM supported by this computer.
