Update: I received a message from Dell tech stating "I have checked the details, there is element31 thermal paste used for your computer according to our records." Hope this helps others in the future.
Hello all! I just picked up the m15 R7 yesterday, and am loving it so far. Fresh installed Win 10 Pro on a new 2TB Samsung 980 Pro, upgraded the ram to Crucial 64GB and so far everything is flawless. Anyways, while I had the laptop open, I was curious as to whether my model comes with Element 31 thermal paste? I know the advertisement on the main website mentions only 3070ti ad 3080ti came with it. However, this may be outdated as the 3080 wasn't an option back then. Another article I read somewhere said the 3070ti and higher models had the Element 31. But, again, that article is possibly outdated and the 3080 was not available at the time. How can I confirm that this laptop has or does not have Element 31, aside from tearing it down? I chatted with Tech support and they just said in a way "It appears that you do not have it because it's only on the 3070ti and 3080 ti".  Is there a way to check the build sheet, if someone knows the code, etc to see if I have the code for it? I'm deciding if a re-paste is something I should do in the future.
m15 R7, 12900H with RTX 3080, come with Element 31 thermal paste?
