    • @computerspecialist8533
      @computerspecialist8533  Рік тому +2

      On vrm or the chips around the heat sink use 1.5mm, rest 0.5mm thermal pads. I usually recommend buying an assortment, they are cheap and not bad to have some laying around for future jobs!

    • @computerspecialist8533

      2mm might be a bit too big for the parts that need 0.5mm. If the thermal pads are making good contact with the VRMs and memory it should be OK.

      I would think 1.5mm would be the smallest you can go there. You can try the 1mm to see if they squish down a little. I am thinking they will not.

      Not 100% sure, but they seem to be the same. Even if its a little thicker it would be ok! If you can purchase a variety pack of sizes is usually the best!

    • @computerspecialist8533
      @computerspecialist8533  3 місяці тому

      Always good to match up with what your taking off, some revisions of the same card use slightly different pads, heatsinks etc. This is why we recommend a variety pack. On the one we are working on in this video, if you look in the description of the video all the info is there for you.
