Yeah i would go with the 1.0mm pads. I used the 0.5 on the vram of the 6990m and it didnt make good contact. Plus Im almost 100% sure the stock pads on the vram of the 6990m are 1.0mm (I measured and have a thread on this).

I have used 1mm as well. 0.5 mm simply felt out after screw-in becouse there was NO CONTACT whatsoever (0.2-0.3mm gap LOL )
1mm FTW
i used this ones,
Phobya Ultra Thermal Pad for CPU (50x50x1mm) [16103] from Overclock.co.uk
but this ones below are the BEST AVAILABLE i think (7w/mk) i also have them but since my temps are great so i will not mess with it again

I used the 0.5 mm fujipoly pads. Some of the pads you are replacing definitely are 0.5 mm, but others are much thicker. I simply stacked multiple layers in certain areas as necessary and it worked great.
