I need to adjust the thermal paste on my Omen 15 laptop. I'm new to changing thermal paste before. Are they using the same type as those for PC heat sinks, such as Arctic MX?

Yes, you can opt for almost any available thermal paste, though premium options tend to offer superior performance. Keep in mind that thermal pads and paste differ, so maintain the original pads if you lack advanced thermal products. To remove the paste, you can use isopropyl alcohol along with a tissue or a coffee filter or Q-tip.

Thermal paste remains consistent, but it's important to choose one that isn't conductive or capacitive, as most current products aren't.
I typically suggest Arctic MX-4.
Also, take care during replacement to avoid harming the exposed CPU/GPU die, which can occur if the cooling solution isn't installed properly.
