    does the fujipoly thermal pads compress? that is, can you squish it to get it thinner?

    Yeah I've got both. 1mm has been great, so wanted to try the .5mm. Just received the .5mm in the mail today (frozencpu rocks on shipping time), so hope to apply them sometime this week.

    i just snagged a full sheet of fujipoly for $13 shipped but he only had 1mm so i was hoping that it would compress. From what i remember, the stock pads looked a tad smalled than 1mm...maybe somewhere arond 0.7mm. So i'm goinng to try the 1mm and see if it lowers the temps more on my GPU
