    What’s the best way to measure size needed for thermal pads. I think since I delided my CPU it changed the height. Any guidance on how to accurately measure the gaps needed to fill? Or will I have to respaste 50 times until it gets better with lots of trial and error.

    I attached a picture to show if it’s too much pressure
