    After trying to solve some heatting issues with my g50vtx-5, my gpu thermal pad has been damaged. So I was wondering what type of pads people are using as replacements. Ive seen some that have silver? in them, and then just normal stockers.
    Any ones I should look into?? Or should I just go lay down some more paste??
