I have an Acer Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop and I am applying new thermal paste to it because the paste that Acer put on was trash. I was wondering after my Arctic Mx-4 thermal paste is applied will I be able to move my laptop around like sideways, sometimes upside down without it leaking or causing any types of problems because I move my laptop around a lot.

Thank you

Yes....but you must not put on excessive paste.

You only need enough paste to fill the void. If any pushes out the side.....wipe it up. You really shouldn't even SEE any thermal paste. If you see it....it isn't doing anything.
