    Artic or gelid, Fujipoly pads are harder, so you must perfect match them, grabbing the all cooper 5 heatpipe heatsink might be smarter than spending 100$ in thermal pads expecting a miracle when all you are cooling are 3 MOSFETs in the VRMs and the VRAM that wont be dissipating all that much power..
