Yesterday, I installed a Thermalright Heilos 35x45x0.2 mm solid thermal interface kit on my HP Victus 16 laptop (Ryzen 5 7640HS, RTX 4060, 36GB DDR5) and want to share my experience. I bought it from Gaming Gen TR; they didn't have the AMD version, so I opted for the Intel one—their dimensions differ slightly, but the Intel variant works perfectly well.
Seven months ago, I upgraded to Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut thermal paste, but CPU temps started hitting 110°C. Gaming led to frame rate drops, processing limitations, and unexpected freezes. Performance only fully returned after unplugging and replugging the power adapter. Beyond cleaning the fans, I decided to try the Heilos kit instead of standard pastes. Note: Many users like Hydronaut; I'm not criticizing it, but I experienced inadequate performance on my HP Victus 16.
The installation involved removing the battery and cooler to clean the old paste. The Victus attracts dust rapidly; my fans were incredibly dirty and needed cleaning. I split the included thermal pad in half vertically, applying one section to the processor and the other to the GPU. Adhesion takes time and was a bit frustrating. Assembly was careful; I tightened screws evenly.
Results were astonishing. CPU temperatures dropped by 25°C; even under heavy load, it didn't exceed 85°C. My tests included Oblivion Remastered, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Valorant, and FIFA 26. Performance improved dramatically. Processing limitations vanished, and FPS remained stable without unplugging the power adapter. Fan noise decreased slightly due to reduced cooling demands. The laptop operates much more stably and quietly.
Solid thermal interface kits aren't common here. I took a chance, and the outcome was extraordinary. I can confirm their effectiveness in laptops. Considering the cost versus benefits, this upgrade was a wise investment.
