    thermal pads search!

    after previously briefly water cooling an old graphics card a while back before shortly upgrading i had to remove the stock all in one heatsink which involved binning the used pads that went from the ram to the heatsink

    im currently considering moving back to this card while selling off my current 4870x2 to fund a potential upgrade

    problem being i cant find any suitable thermal pad replacements!

    at a rough measure the gap between the ram and the heatsink seems to be around 1mm maybe a touch more any pads i find are generally 0.3mm or less thick!

    any help would be appreciated
