    I would change the thermal pads of my notebook, and I thought of taking the Phobya XT 7W / mk (because the fujipoly are too expensive), which take thickness 0.5mm or 1mm?

    Thanks :D

    As far as I remember, most, if not all, are 0.5mm. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

    I am not an expert on thermal pads and all. When I was initially asking, I bought both 1mm and 0.5mm. It will really depend on your system and how close it is in contact with your GPU/CPU. I think I bought mine from frozenCPU.

    Maybe a reseller can help out, but as far as I remember, I think I used 0.5mm for my GPU.
