Thermal Pads size

[FinnOrbiS]

I wanted to change the thermal pads of my GPU. But the problem is I can't find all the necessary sizes of pads. So If I put (1+0.5)mm instead of 1.5mm and (1+1+0.5)mm instead of 2.5mm, will there be a huge problem??

Mmm I don't think stacking them is a good idea, rather use 0.5 thicker ones they'd just get squished some more (and maybe they'll dissipate heat a bit worse but not that much)

But why can't you find the correct size are you in some godforsaken country (one where amazon don't ship  )?

amazon does ship in my country but it will be a month of waiting. And I don't have that much patience
