I recently purchased an HP OMEN 45L and I'm in the process of replacing the HP motherboard with a Gigabyte motherboard. I received some thermal compound as a bonus from a previous purchase, and I'm wondering if that's enough to keep my Core Ultra 9 285K functioning properly. I'm still using the stock HP OMEN AIO and haven't had any issues with it. Is the amount of thermal compound I have sufficient or do I need to get more?

You really only need a small amount of thermal compound for a proper application. One tube should be more than enough for multiple installs. Also, don't forget to check if your power supply supports the standard 24 pin ATX connector; that's essential for compatibility.
A single 3g tube of KPX thermal compound is definitely enough for at least 40 CPUs. You're good to go with what you have!
Haha, I only have one tube!
