A modern desktop board can have power-delivery heatsinks on two sides of the socket, a chipset plate and a pair of drive shields, and most of those gaps are close to a millimeter. Two 120 x 20 mm strips of 15 W/mK GP-Ultimate cover that whole list in one sitting rather than in two orders a week apart.

  1. One board, several heatsinks, one thickness

    It is unusual for a single board to need three or four different pad thicknesses. Once you have measured, most of the gaps tend to land in the same place, and a millimeter is the most common answer on desktop hardware. Buying that size in pairs matches how a bench actually consumes material.

  2. Replacing factory pads rather than reusing them

    Pads that have been under clamp for a few years are compressed, often hard, and usually stuck to the heatsink rather than the board. They are not worth recovering. Lift them with a plastic spudger, clean both faces with isopropyl and a lint-free cloth, and fit fresh material at the measured thickness.

  3. A note on stacking

    With two strips in hand there is a temptation to double a thin piece to reach a deeper gap. Do not. Two pads pressed together add an interface in the middle of the path and never compress as one, so the result is worse than a single piece of the correct depth would have been.

  4. Marking what you put where

    Write the thickness on the liner before cutting and keep offcuts in labeled bags. Once the liners are off, a millimeter strip and a 1.5 mm strip are hard to tell apart by eye, and the next job starts with a caliper hunt instead of a cut.
