Stuck up thermal pads, is that okay on a GPU?

Hi Guys,

I am redoing the thermal pads and paste on my 1080ti, paste of course straight forward however I never really dealt with thermal pads which are on VRM and Vram.

Vram is fine as it is 0.5 and it was pretty clear however the VRM I may need to stuck two of the 1mm one I bought to get to the right height, is that okay?

For what I read there is no "side up" so on paper should work

Thank you guys!

I don't see a problem with stacking two to achieve the correct height.
It always seems to me pads are stickier one side more than the other - so use it the sticky side down for the surface you want it to stay stuck to if you disassemble.

Well never used them however the one on this card were okay on VRM however VRAM were dry and so was the thermal paste so ordered some Thermal Grizzly ones from here (along with a new case ) let's see how the build will go this weekend!
