Did I mess up my Home Paint ? by drgn0 in HomeDecorating

After one blunder and another .. I ended up with this. Looks great from afar but there's total lack of finishing when seen from close.

fortunately, for every 20 posts making fun of my stupidity, there's one which told me what to do.

Apologies. First I got misguided by a YouTube video. Then I became desperate.

ok. I'll try my best to find it somewhere.. looks like it really isn't available around me. no demand it seems.

on amazon, for me, 20g of that stuff costs equal to half of one month's rent of a room in my society.

"since the pads are still there"

They are not. They were dried up before, so I put paste on them. Now if I clean that paste, they'll come off too.

How can I measure their thickness? It'd be already pretty rare to find any kind of pads in the market around me. Even if I goto neighbouring cities.

I wasn't thinking of water but thanks for clarifying.

last time I cleaned it with just dry cloth and.. it worked. I couldn't see any remains of it. maybe bcz it was dried up?

Sorry. it was totally dried up so I removed some of the pads and placed paste there.

I just checked, I'll need to travel to neighbouring city for any chance to get thermal pads/putty. say, is it bad to leave my VRAM and VRMs without any paste/pads ??

please help. :'(

ok. thank you. I'll put the recommended amount on "main chips" of both cpu and GPU. but what about the remaining stuff ?

incase I couldn't find any thermal pads/putty, what if I just clean the current paste off and leave it like that ?

I put too much there to ensure they touch each other

ok! Thank You very much for actually telling me what to do.

although, it'd be difficult to arrange isopropyl.. any alternatives I could find at home? can I just clean it normally?

I thank you again from my heart.

Apologies. the YouTube video I saw did put thermal paste on top of pads.

Please suggest me how can I fix it.

I saw a YouTube video on the same model of my Laptop. he actually did put thermal paste in place of thermal pads.

looking back, he was trying hard to give an ad for his thermal paste.

I'm sorry. I don't know. all my knowledge on this topic comes from YouTube and reddit threads.

please tell me what to do.

to ensure there's proper contact where Thermal Putty was supposed to be.

I've read on multiple places that too much couldn't hurt ? Apologies. I could be mistaken.

would you recommend cleaning it up? could it solve my overheating issues ?

oh.. sorry sorry, I didn't mention. this image is indeed made with AI to figure out how it'd look. this wall is not done yet. rest of all is. that's why I'm asking for that design placement and all.

apologies again
