    Hello guys does anybody know what are the thermal pad thickness for the gpu and cpu on the P150EM? Are they on the heatsink the same thickness?
    Cheers

    SOLVED:
    Thanks to Prema and Meaker, I think I have figured out which pad thickness goes where.

    theyre not all of the same thickness but the thinnest ones should be 1mm. anything above that u can just stack them up, at least thats what i do :)

    Do you have your old thermal pads ? If yes just compare , make stakes of thermal pads and that should work. If you want to update them my advice you'll be to use phobya black pads, (not white, they're not sticky)

    No I do not, I trashed them before l checked for differences (shame on me), that is why I don't know.

    @wickette:whats the name and thermal conductivity of those black phobya pads? ive only used the white ones so far and pretty happy with the thermals (just too bad they arent sticky ;) )

    edit: nvm, found it, unfortunately the black pads only sports 5W/mK thermal conductivity vs. 7W of the white. i knew that stickiness would have at least some negative impact :p

    the white ones are 7w/mk the sticky ones 5w/mk i think. But both are really great. The white ones are more for overclocking memory bandwith and are not really designed for laptop, more for watercoolers and Desktop heatsinks that apply way more pressure on the card itself.

    Just in case someone needs it I have updated the OP with a picture of the Thermalpads dimensions I used. I think they matched pretty good.

    Thanks to Prema and Meaker for the help.
