Hi All,

Would like to check with you, for replacing the thermal pads on the GPU, would stacking 2x0.5mm thick thermal pad be acceptable?

Besides where and what brand do you normally get?

Ohh that would so as well? Cause last time it seems that there is a bit gap from the heatsink to the vram chip.

Cannot use thermalpaste if there is gap between the chip and the heat sink. Too much to fill.
You have to get thermalpad for sure but stacking thermalpad will do as i tried personally before.
