If I was you I'd get some 0.5, some 1 and some 3, that way you can stack them. If you're sure they are 3mm though, get them.
Stacking them will reduce thermal efficiency quite a bit. Just buy the right size :)Quote:

or only single sided? ie for gpu&memory combined coolers.
thermal pads have no glue, thermal tape does.
