Replace thermal pad on my ssd

Hi all,

Is there anything you can use to replace the thermal pad on the underside of the motherboard panel? What I mean is I have the Asus rog strix x570 and the 2 m2 slots have covers with thermal material. Is it possible to replace just that if they come off when swapping the ssd?

Thanks
Steveo

Yep, might need to try and measure or find the thickness, not sure it'll matter per se on an SSD. But plenty here https://www.overclockers.co.uk/search?sSearch=thermal+pad

Thanks bud. The removable cover has the thermal material already applied so just wanted to get something that is the same quality.

Replaced all on my X570-F here.
Better temps all around.
Went with Gelid thermalpad.
To bad any decent thermalpad is so expensive now.
