Sizes guide
- The scrissor sign next to a size means it can be cut out from that slice of thermal pad. It is not the actual size! Example: 80x40x2mm
- One dimension size means it’s the thickness of that pad. Example: 1mm
- Two or three dimension sizes – with no scrissor sign – means it’s most probably an actual size. Example 100x14x1.5mm
About sizes
Sizes you find here come from various sources. Most of them reported by my clients whom successfully replaced their GPUs’ factory thermal pads with high quality aftermarket pads – getting significant results in their temperature drop. Some of these sizes are actual measurements and others just collected from random users on such websites like Reddit, YouTube or official / unofficial forums.
Do your own research
Please note that I cannot take any responsibility for the sizes appearing here. Do your own research as well before buying and replacing anything.
Tips
- Make sure your pads and GPU die contacts well with the heatsink.
- Always test your graphic cards and devices in controlled environment.

May I double thermalpad duet to wrong size buyed before, i.e 0,5mm x 2 for genting 1 mm….what is the impact to the chips? Im sorry my english is not so good..,tx

I’d say it’s 1.5mm thickness for the front since the GPU core is getting high on temps (I screwed the core screws all the way). Used 2mm Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8.

Trinity non-OC though.

I stand corrected. It is 2mm for sure. 1.5mm doesn’t makes it so the GPU die is above thermalpads for sure. It’s just with less denser thermalpads it would be easier to get less temp. diff. between hotspot and GPU temps.
