My son has an ageing 6970 in his computer currently, the average gpu temp has been steadily increasing for the past while so i figured it was time to replace the TIM on the GPU. When I pulled the HS off I discovered not only nasty dried out TIM, but the thermal pads on the ram and VRMs had basically disintegrated.
Anyway, does anyone happen to know the thickness of the stock thermal pads? I tried measuring one of the pads with a vernier caliper, I am guessing .5mm but not sure that is going to be thick enough for the VRMs.
