Going to be offline for awhile. No details at this time but I'll update y'all when I can. Life is hard now but I'll learn something from this and hopefully, be better on the other side. I'll miss all of you. Game on!

So, XFX informed me that 1mm thermal pads for the memory and 2mm thermal pads for VRM components on my video card. They also told me, "Look for pads with a thermal rating of 5wmk or better." I don't know if better is up or down from that number as I have never replaced the thermal pads on any video card and am ignorant when it comes to them. I looked online and was suggested to use Thermalright Extreme Odyssey which are 12.8 W/mK, and I already ordered them. I was also told that Thermalright… See More
TFX Thermal Compound Paste 14.3 W/mK was great paste for GPUs, as well. Are those better or worse? I can stop the order but if those are good, and I'm thinking twice as good, then I'm okay. #help
Higher is better (better thermal conductivity) in theory, but in practice the manufacturers measure their own way, not directly comparable between brands.

Higher is better in theory, since that is the capacity for conduction, though spending silly amounts won't be reflected in results.
The thickness should be kept though, as that will impact the fit, the pressure on the parts and ensures the PCB doesn't bend.

Here the choices are either Thermalright, Gelid or Laird.
Those orders are good. Ive used them before on an oven (Asus TUF gaming laptop)
