K5-PRO is a high quality gummy / sticky thermal paste designed for use on memory chips and GPUs of various computers including iPhone, Acer Aspire 6930 , Apple iMac A1311 video boards. This is the only comercially avaliable product at the moment that can replace the gummy thermal paste that is originally used by Apple.K5-PRO can replace soft thermal pads that are used on computers (up to 3mm thick)K5-PRO has thermal conductivity K>5,3 W/m.K (at least 3 times higher than common thermal pads that are used on computers and comercial electronics) Computer Systems materials science laboratory testing : Method using a comparative technique (P. Karydopoulos, P. Frantzis, N. Karagiannis MSAIJ 2014)K5-PRO is applied very easily directly on the component and has no electrical conductivity. It can be heated up to 250 degrees (Celcium) and has a long operational life time (practically infinite)Expiration date: No expiration date (new formula). Infinite storage / service life. Protect from frost and dust
1.5mm arctic pads are too thick because they're not squishy silicone based ones and will slightly bend your heatsink compromising its mating with the gpu; on some vram modules even 0.5mm ones result too thick.
This scheme i made on release after some tests should help you.
You can use silicone based pads (1.5mm on the <1mm gaps in the image and 0.5mm on the <0.1mm gaps) but they usually have lower w/mk.
I used a thermal paste made to replace thermal pads like this one (it's dry an thick) and placed a drop on the vram chips (smaller drop on the small gap ones).
I use this: K5 Pro
Wearing gloves, I roll up a little ball the half a pea size and place it on each ram. I let the cooler squish into place, It's okay to make a mess with this stuff as opposed to TIM applied to the GPU / CPU
