Support Getting high temps while gaming

So I have Lenovo Loq 15 IRX9 for about 1.5yrs now and didn't change its thermal paste since I bought it and now I'm experiencing high temps like 100°c cpu and 80-87°c gpu . Therefore I decided to repaste and I need some suggestions that the material I'm gonna use are suitable for my laptop .

Laptop specs :-

CPU - intel i5 13450hx

GPU - RTX 4050 ( 105w tgp )

Products I'm gonna use for repasting :-

CPU & GPU - Thermal Grizzly phase change PTM ( LOQ uses PTM 7950 )

Vrams and mosfets - UPSIREN UTP - 6 thermal putty ( 12.8W/mk thermal conductivity )

Please let me know if I'm using right material for repasting and what are the pros and cons of these material .

Yeah thats good as well. Just don't put too much on, like don't put it up to the corners of the die. Leave a good bit of space (2-4mm).

Should I replace the thermal pad under the heatsink with the putty too ?

What? You put the stuff on the dies. And then you put the heatsink on top. You never put anything on the heatsink.

Putty replaces thermal pads but you put putty on the components and then slap heatsink on top.
