Thermal pads

[Martini1991]

Hey there, I've undone my two water cool loops in my PC, cleaning up my WC blocks etc ;

On my graphics card blocks, they have thermal pads on, however I've mindlessly binned the thermal pads (That I cut myself that came with the EK block), erm, what's a viable solution to use?

Is it possible to just use thermal paste :S?

I have two 8800GT's here, they're dead..
Is it possible to take off the thermal pads on them and use on my 6870's (Assuming I cut them to size)?

Hmm.
I baked the 8800GT's and now they work, so using the thermal pads isn't a viable option anymore lol..

Erm, http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=TH-001-AK
Would that stuff work?

Or has anyone got any links?

Cheers.

There is a water cooling specialist that sells 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 1.5mm thick pads. They also sell the original EK ones but they are twice the price.

Link in trust please?
