most GPUs are now using 0.5mm pads at the moment, I would buy some 1mm as well just incase!

thanks for makin the thread dude i have found i can get them all except the 1.7mm pads would it be safe to still use 1.5mm?

Be very careful, don't overtighten anything just to make the thermal pads make contact!

One shafted GTX280OCX tells me this. ( God bless BFG for the replacement though! )
