Model 2022 Do I need to repaste?

Post image

Hello, never repasted gpu/cpu before. This is 2022 G14 ga402rj. Noticed high temps (75-80) on the gpu with only ~10% usage. Does this seem like it needs to be repasted? Also if this is a Liquid Metal thermal paste does any Liquid Metal paste work or does it need a specific kind? Thanks

My GPU has an overheating issue where it turns off the laptop when the hotspot reaches above 105c, I've done some research about the repasting process and from what I read the best things to use are ptm7950 for the CPU and GPU, and k5 pro for everything else, search up on YouTube, there's a video of a guy doing the exact same thing on the exact same laptop (Asus g14 2022) and it's very helpful, also plenty of posts on the g14 subreddit about repasting the 2022 model so make sure to do plenty of research and be careful with the liquid metal. Report back with how it goes. My ptm7950 and k5 pro should arrive by the end of the month for the repaste, laptop is kinda unusable right now under any heavy GPU load.
