According to the repair videos I just watched, those pads that are originally there seem to be slim.

hmm best way to know that, product manual, or just ask the online customer service, i face the same problem as you and have ask msi about the correct thickness for my msi laptop vrm and vram, because the thermal pad have different colour and i assume different thickness.

or if you dont get any answer the best way to know is experiment, put the 1mm, if you get any significant gain on cpu/gpu performance because poor contact between heatsink and the die you could change to 0,5, don't use the 0,5 first because if vrm and vram have poor contact, usually they didn't have any thermal sensor to observe.
