Thermal pads on gpu block

[Yatys 93]

just need some advice on the thermal pads I got with the block, the image below is the total amount I got, doesn't seem that there is enough of them? am I meant to just stick small parts together or is something missing?

You don't really need to cool the chokes though

Make sure your using the right thickness. Not sure what waterblock your using. I know EK usually gives you a bit extra, Same with AquaComputer.

That one long white strip is not needed. I'm using my MSI GTX 1080 as a reference. It only requires the one long strip and cube pads.

Looking at these instructions, I assume I can't just use the off cuts I have been given to cover the parts and get this system up and running, as I am noting going to have time to do this for a couple weeks after tomorrow
