I am going to replace my thermal pads and thermal paste. Paste is quite easy.
What about thermal pads? I couln´t find any specification of them (size, thickness..). I don´t want to dissassemble NB just to measure them and then again to replace them..
Do you know the dimensions of the pads?
Ideally Dimensions with number of pads needed.
Thank you

That's a different kind of thermal pad than I thought you were talking about. Some laptops use something made from like heavy wool with a metal foil insert and those you cannot remove or replace. That is 3 mm thermal padding that comes in sheets or rolls like this:

You should not need to replace the pads, if there are any. See pp. 57-58 of the Service Manual here:
Looks to me like the heatsink uses metal on metal and thermal paste. If I have a laptop with a cooling problem and it has thermal pads, I replace them with copper shims cut to the same size and thickness as the pad, and then use thermal compound (paste) where the copper touches the chip being cooled. Much superior performance to pads.
Pads are not generally separate replaceable parts but are provided with a cooling assembly part such as a heatsink.
Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Thank you for reply.
I know that on the metal-heatsink is used thermal paste. There are also memory chips on gpu, nvme drive etc..
They are covered with thermal pads. I want to know dimensions of these pads...

All I can say is look at p. 58. There is no kind of cooling device on the NVME M.2 SSD for sure. If there are pads, they are on the heatsink and HP does not publish the diagram of how the heatsink is made. If you want new thermal pads (I still think there aren't any) you just need to get a new heatsink. You do not give us the full model number (2 letters after the numbers) so I am not even sure what heatsink you have to try to find a picture of that part.

Exactly I have: HP Omen 15-dc0009 (1070-Max-Q version)
Actually I found video: https://youtu.be/zhJj9Dcym8Q?t=659
As you can see there are some pads....
