Hello,
So I've been disassembling and cleaning my laptop for the first time two months ago, and i reapplied thermal paste on both CPU and GPU. Now after awhile I noticed that GPU is overheating extremely - 50C fresh after start, 60C after doing anything (like browser) and stays at it, 68-70C while watching youtube and ranges from 80-100C while playing games (even had 105C).
I've been searching a little bit and it seems i removed thermal pad from gpu chip and applied paste, but i left 4 pads untouched (covering memory or i dunno). Might that cause a heatsink not having proper contact with the chip? I've read that thermal paste is much better than a pad, can i remove the other 4 pads and apply paste on the memory(?) aswell? Is there any trick to check if the contact with heatsink is ok?
Here are some photos:
Original heatsink, i removed the brown thermal pad for GPU (if it is a pad, is it?) but kept the white ones.

This is gpu and the white pads fits on those 4 black rectangles around. Are those memory chips?

Side question. what is this black rectangle layer that was on CPU, could have I removed it? And it is normal that manufacturer leaks thermal paste all over the place like in the picture? Can't it damage the cpu? It was hard as a rock btw, took me an hour to remove it with alcohol.
