@Omartube070, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

​Replacing thermal putty with thermal pads in your Victus by HP 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop 15-fb1003nx can be a cleaner and effective solution for managing heat dissipation. However, the exact thermal pad thickness required can vary depending on the specific components and design of your laptop model.

General Recommendations:

Thickness: For VRAM (video memory) chips, thermal pad thicknesses typically range from 0.5mm to 1.5mm. The appropriate thickness depends on the gap between the VRAM chips and the heatsink:

0.5mm: Suitable for minimal gaps.​

1.0mm: A common choice balancing thermal conductivity and compression.​

1.5mm: Ideal for larger gaps or when more compression is needed.​

Thermal Pad Placement:

VRAM Chips: Thermal pads are commonly placed on VRAM chips to facilitate heat transfer to the heatsink.​

Other Components: Some laptops use thermal putty or paste on components like power delivery modules or other heat-generating parts. In such cases, replacing the thermal putty with thermal pads or high-performance thermal paste can be beneficial.
 

I hope this helps.
