Is the thermal paste still good?

The laptop is almost 11 years old.

That's a little too much paste.
it should be applied relatively thinly but evenly.

No it is no longer good it should be changed

If it's still creamy-pasty, yes. If not, then not.

That is the one from the manufacturer

Woe woe…
then you'd better do it again.

Which do you recommend to me?

There's far too much paste on it. Only the Diye itself may contain thermal paste. Otherwise you can scrap the CPU with it.

Such old thermal paste must of course be replaced.

Packard Bell (or Acer) was stupid

Not any longer longer.

It's like two-year-old Nivea cream

Expensive

So creamy? Then okay.

Nobody drives new heat paste into ruin.

Yes but in my opinion it's worth it but I also have to tell you that a new laptop would be more worthwhile

As if 18 euro are driving you into personal bankruptcy.

I3 with intel graphics and 3gb ram

Of course not, but it's not worth it for the laptop

This is really frivolous. Fortunately, the areas that are not allowed to get thermal paste are relatively far from the Diye.

So carefully remove the Schmodder. Alcohol can help. And apply new ones in a significantly smaller amount. In any case, the components around the diy may not come into contact with anything.

Not so creamy

Yes, well, that's not how I looked at it.

Well.
