While taking off my HS on the 4870 I noticed that the vrm thermal pad was starting to break apart on one side. Is there anywhere to buy a replacment thermal pad?

Mine a little to beat up right now to reuse, so I was kind of looking for suggestions to replace it.
If I order this thermal pad will it work?

Might have to do that, but even the price of this stuff is expensive. It would cost over $8 total once you add shipping.Originally posted by: Hauk
Looks like a decent solution. 1mm thickness though.. wonder if it's thick enough. Doubling it up maybe?

The hole in the stock cooling plate is mainly for PCB height reasons.
The tall VITEC inductor and PULSE vrm modules have large surface areas, and do not require any extra cooling.
