Thermal Pad

Monday, November 13th 2006, 2:59pm

Can these be used on items such as voltage regulators both on your graphics card and MB, or are they only for your ramblocks only.

I was concerned that they left an oily residue which could be conductive? The Thermal pads are shown below:



I am planning to use it on my Voltage regulators on my MB in conjunction with this item:



and on my Grpahics card on the voltage regulators there and the chips around the main chip.


Any ideas and tips, or should I just use the artic silver on these items?

Any help would clear up my concerns.

sections of the same pad are provided with the 7950 GX2 block to place on the GPU's VRM so in my eyes it will be fine ;)
