    Hi Guys,

    I need thermal pads for an old laptop. I don't want thermal paste since the gap between the heatsink and the GPU is around 1-2mm. They are not touching eachother and thermal pastes can't be used for that...

    Can you tell me an online retailer that sells thermal pads?

    Thanks a lot!
