    Where do i find one? I've searched all over and couldn't find one that was the same color as the one i took off. On Ebay i see grey, or very light blue-ish-grey.

    Also, what should the thickness be? and how should i reapply it? the same way I applied my copper mod?

    Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I plan on overheating the mobo on my m1330 before my warranty expires next month.

    Thanks.

    Could you link me to it? I've been looking for some and my searchs on ebay have not yielded any results on thermal pads.
