To my fellow MSI TF3 7950 (built on 7970 PCB w/ the 6+8 plugs, to be exact) owners:
Does anyone know the precise thickness of the thermal padding used to cool the memory and VRMs? I'd like to put a little heatsink onto the one uncovered RAM chip on my 7950s (probably attached with thermal tape) but to do so obviously involves removing the complete heatsink assembly and before I do that I would rather, if at all possible, have some thermal pads handy in case something needs changing or whatever.
Also, having read good things about the Fujypoly Extreme thermal pads which they stock over at FrozenCPU.com I've been toying with the idea of replacing the stock material with some of those if it indeed looks like they would perform better. So it would be great if I could know what thickness(es) to order without first removing the heatsinks.
Otherwise I suppose that I would have to bite the bullet, bring out the calipers and risk damaging or contaminating the current pads before ordering replacements.
Anyway, any input regarding either pad thickness or performance would be warmly appreciated.
