    I took apart a laptop to clean it, the gpu thermal pad was ripped so I tried thermal paste instead, but unfortunatelly it was only ok for few days.
    Now the laptops boots with temps of 70c and browsing puts it to 90's.

    I need to buy a thermal pad somewhere because I'm guessing there's a gap.
    Where can I buy replacement pads, and are there different sizes ?
