Thickness of thermalpads on Nv GPUs?
0.5 or 1mm anyone know what the default thickness used is?
And what's the effect of the difference?

For the RAM?
They are quite thick depending on the card, but in general, for replacements you need at least 1-2mm thick.

Yah for the RAM. 1-2mm seems a lot though, most I've been able to Google for seems to be using 0.5 or 1 mm.

You can get varying thickness

but from my X1900XTX and 8800GT, the RAM pads were quite thick, at least 2mm.
They do compress, its better to have a slightly tight fit rather than not having good contact.
What card do you intend on using them for?

MSI 295GTX single PCB. The plan is to use 0.5mm.
