8800gts Watercooling

[diablo170]

I hav just removed the stock heatsink of my vanilla eVGA 8800gts 512 (G92)to install the EK full cover block. I am having trouble sourceing correctly sized thermal pads as I threw the stock ones away. I believe pads should have come with the block but i bought it used, (block alone nufin else). I was also wondering if i could just use some of AS5 I hav lyin around instead of buyin thermal pads?

All help apreciated =]

wouldnt use AS5 as its conductive, you need ceramique or even better MX2.

The pads are 0.5mm iirc, what I would do is drop a small amount of MX2 on each ram chip then fit the block. when you remove it youll see if its made enough contact. Im pretty certain on the EK blocks though you 100% need tim pads on the mosfets anyways dude.
