So today I just received my new heatsink fan to replace my overheating CPU's stock one (Loving it by the way <3), and I noticed that my GPU also deserves some fine tuning as well since it still tends to overheat when I play large games. I've researched videos and saw that not only do I need thermal paste, which I can use from my heatsink, but I might also need thermal pads if they become unusable after I open my GPU. I know I'll most likely need pads since I haven't opened my GPU to clean it for about a year and a half. My graphics card is a Radeon R7 260X, and I would like to know which thermal pads will be needed to get the job done. I see there are different sizes such as 0.1mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, and I don't know which will be needed. Thanks for the help!
tl;dr Version: What thermal pads can I use to replace on my Radeon R7 260X? I'm quite the noob.
