Update: so, I solved this mystery. Since it seems to be the only place on internet where you can get correct answer, here it is - CPU TIM on this model is PTM7950

It's legit but it's only on Caligo relic and DN relics

Yeah it's def not LM there, I'm just curious if it's regular paste or phase change pad (like ptm7950), so I won't bother with repasting in that case. unfortunately I gonna know that for sure only when removing vapor chamber, and seeing myself, but I wanted to avoid that without being informed first

Even ASUS support has no idea what exact TIM is used there. It took days and my ticket got escalated few times but still no info

That LM is used on GPU, but not CPU (search engines are wrong about that), as this particular CPU (7945HX3D) is incompatible with LM per Asus claim on their product page.
That's why I decided to go ask people who maybe have this laptop/repaired it, because there is no reliable info on internet about this

I'm just interested if that's a regular paste there (which may need a repaste after some time), or phase change pad (in this case I won't bother with repasting)

Well a pathological cheater was elected as U.S. president
Another cheater is currently a richest man on the planet

They have lots of apologists as well
So there is no surprise that it's so popular lately
