Hello, I am interested to know the material of the heatsink for HP 17-ca2002nc? I would like to change the thermal paste with liquid metal paste, but I am not sure what material is it? If it is aluminum or copper, does someone know?

Hi @JohnDoeTheThird,
Welcome to the HP support community.
replacing the thermal paste isn't recommended by HP, if you wish to have it done, we can do that for you at the HP repair center, however, there will be charges involved based on the warranty of your product, please share the serial number in a private message, so i can look up the details for you
Please help us with your HP unit serial number or the product number on a private message for further assistance.
