Hello forum!
I bought an old CPU/GPU heatsink from Ebay. It needs to replace the thermal pad heatsink on it. Does anyone have the height dimensions of the thermal pad heatsink on it?
Thanks!

Up, I am also interested on the info for the CPU side.

You can often fine tune it to get better thermal performance.

Very nice! what's the brand of the thermal pad you used (if able to get from Amazon)?

If they have thermal grizzly pads they have done well for me.

Just watch the VRMs, they may expect the airflow from the fan pulling air through the chassis.

I'm also considering a repaste and replacing the thermal pads on my P775, seeing as how it's still running the Kryonaut application it came with four years ago.
Quick edit: This is my main system and aside from cleaning it regularly, I haven't serviced it in any way since I got it. I want to repaste with SYY 157 and replace the thermal pads so I can get another few trouble-free years out of it.Last edited: Nov 23, 2021 -

I always tune the heatsink to shave off 0.5mm from all the pads for better contact but it's up to you if you can be bothered with that or just want to stick with the stock sizes.

Even a light impression will do if you can get the thickness down.

Are the CPU heatsink side pads the same on the P870 series as well?

Most important are the VRMs.

With min thickness of 0.5mm, requires then 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 3.5mm. I can't find 3.5mm thermal pad, according to what you said a 4.00mm will do with more impression, or there is a way to trim it with a blade cleanly to optimize the fit and preserve a good thermal condition of 12w/MK or better?
It is also hard to find 4mm thick pads with good thermal conductivity also, anyone has a recommendation and a suggestion as to where I could find those thicker pads?
I assume that it would not be advisable to combine 1.5mm and 2mm pads together to make a 3.5mm pad.Last edited: Jan 24, 2022 at 8:06 AM -

The thicker the pad the worse it will be, you can avoid that. If the perfect height is hard to find then stack a couple.

It just dawn on me that my system is the CLEVO P775TM1-G and not the P775DM3-G, will the pad size pictured earlier in this thread be equivalent then or I should find a different list?
I hope to see you on one of the new forums when this one shuts down. On a side note Archiveteam.org seems to be working on backing up NBR forums and related ones. I joined the effort and contributed to archiving projects with them.
Thank you again for all your help with answering technical questions and sharing your expertise with noobies like me.
