I just removed thermal paste from cpu & gpu from laptop.The thermal paste was overflowed applied & spread all over & was dried up.Now I am running without any thermal paste & it's better than previous.Is it dangerous without any thermal paste? If yes then which thermal paste should I buy?
 
Solution
You really should not run without thermal paste. While too much isn't a good thing, the heatsink can't make adequate contact to the processor without it and thermal throttling will inevitably occur.
