    For the red lined go with 3mm, for the rest 1mm is fine! ;)

    Phobya XT pads meet that criterion and not too expensive tbh unlike Fujipoly which is vulgarly priced..

    Nahh XT FTW... My temps have dropped quite a bit when using the XT pads compared to the clobbered up stop pads...

    Yes you can stack pads to get the height, 3 should be ok with reasonable pads but it will reduce performance the more you stack.

    Plus the Fujipoly are not needed for even high end overclocks, the fit of the pad is more important.
