You've tried various thermal pastes for your desktop CPUs. Some popular options don't perform well on laptop CPUs with integrated heat spreaders over time. Noctua NT-H2 offers a high operating temperature and seems reliable for laptop CPUs. Many newer pastes are optimized for the steady high temps in modern gaming laptops, while older ones can degrade quickly—sometimes within a week. I used a Carbonaut pad on my daughter's laptop last year to avoid pump-out worries. It doesn’t match the best thermal paste, but it gives consistent long-term results. A helpful video compares Carbonaut to other good options.
I've been applying hp stock thermal paste for two weeks now. I took my laptop to HP and they replaced it. Before that, I used Arctic MX-4, Zalman STC-8, and Kyronaut. All pastes I tried melted within a week. I'm looking for something that stays below 97-98°C over time. Carbonaut seems like a solid option, but I'm concerned some people say it's bad for laptops. Also, I've set my CPU to -0.160V.
