I can’t belive Intel even sells these CPUs with thermal paste instead of being soldered. My laptop destroyed it’s thermal paste within 6 months, I can’t imagine a 300+ watt CPU’s paste would survive much longer.
They aren’t using paste any more. Since 11th gen Intel’s desktop CPUs are soldered, if I remember correctly they use some kind of indium alloy, and so does AMD.
Edit: All desktop CPUs since 11th gen and some 9th and 10th gen according to Intel

Hopefully it’ll be in auch better cooling situation than your laptop.
