Modest refurb on HD 7950

[OhSigmaChi]

So, I have and Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7950 that I'd like to give as a gift.

I'm planning to pull it apart, blow out all the dust, and reapply t-paste and t-pads to the VRMs.

My question is what thickness of pad should I go with? 1mm? 1.5mm? more?

I have no idea (and really am not sure how I can even accurately measure for this)and really only want to buy it once.

Your help is appreciated!

Searching suggests 1mm thickness but you could measure with calipers I would think.

I just ordered .5mm, .7mm, and 1mm and will hope for the best!

Official response from Sapphire tech is 1mm.
