Better than stock paste

A 4 year old Dell laptop has recently had problems with overheating, even on the fan panel, with all fans and cooling fins regularly dusted and cleaned. The processor was between idle and minimal load on the CPU and GPU in the 60-80s. Scraped off all factory paste and applied arctic paste and the laptop runs for 40-50 seconds. Even with 100% CPU load with Adobe, the 80s are hardly touched these days. Probably never needed a fan gasket, just better thermal paste.
