Thermal pad help

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

Would it be bad if I put extra pads there,  because I think I did that with my 1st gpu I did,  was being over zealous getting blocks in place 

 

If they don't have it in the instructions I would leave it, if you were to put thermal pads there it could impact the block from making proper contact to the rest of the GPU and components.

do you not have a booklet of some sort telling you this

Sorry I edited my post,  tryed to add a photo and posted by mistake 

 

Those are just coils so they don't really get hot at all but check the instruction manual it will say where to place everything and what thickness of pads also.

Thank you for the response,  I'll just take apart my other block and check to be safe.
