    Hi guys. Im new to the forums and i like the info you guys have posted on this laptop.
    My question is what is the size of the gap between the nb and the heatsink and the gpu and the heatsink? Im thinking of replacing the thermal pad with a penny that i have sanded down to size but i dont know how small to make it. Im using a 1977 penny as it's made of 95% copper. i have look to see if anyone has tried this but havent found much. i found that some guys have replaced the thermal pad with icd7. Is that the best thing to do?
