    Following several recommendations to replace the stock thermal pads on my GPU I've purchased a couple large sheets of thermal pads

    Replacement Thermal pads:
    ARCTIC 145 x 145 x 1.0 mm
    ARCTIC 145 x 145 x 0.5 mm

    I have not been successful locating a thermal pad diagram for my single GPU heatsink so I've constructed the following proposed diagram using a few posts on the owner's lounge as a reference point. I'm posting here now to ask if my proposed depths are correct and/or if there are any modifications other (more experienced) members would recommend.

    Do not use this diagram (below) as a guide until other members have verified the information is safe and accurate!
