Bit confused about re-using a thermal pad for SSD drive.
I'm reading conflicting things online, I don't know if some of the information is out of date.
I've got a motherboard which has had a nvme drive installed for about 4 years, with the included motherboard cover/heatsink thing and the thermal pad that came with it.
I'm about to replace with a 990 Pro, that doesn't have a heatsink installed on it or anything.
Do I need a new thermal pad?
Should I unstick the existing and reuse?
Should I not have one at all?
Any advice welcome
