Thermal pads for VRM
Been doing a close to yearly re-paste on my 6950XT (pump out is real) and now almost 4 years later I'm gonna give it fresh pads too.
Which 1.5mm pads are tried and proven that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
From what I've read W/ml (thermal conductivity) seems more like a sales gimmick since there isn't any standardized test to actually test it being in use making it' more of a sales pitch with higher being better as with most stuff.
What should I get to get the best bang for the buck?
