    Hey guys,

    I'm looking at repasting both my RTX 2070-MQ and my i7950H with some conductonaut. After watching some videos on LM, a few reviews I've seen and read, mention to use copper shims for best thermal performance. I also seen that the thermal pads may need replacing for better quality ones and sizes.

    Could you guys give me advice on what copper shim sizes I would need to order? Could you also give me advice on what thermal pad sizes are required? Many thanks
