angry chimp indeed...thx for the tip D&T, just ordered from frozencpu:

Phobya Thermal Pad XT 120mm x 20mm x 0.5mm - 7W/mk (V-Regs, RAM, Ramplex, Koolance, MIPs, Innovatek) (19099)
Phobya Thermal Pad XT 120mm x 20mm x 1.0mm - 7W/mk (V-Regs, RAM, Ramplex, Koolance, MIPs, Innovatek) (19100)

I figure I'll use both thicknesses at some point as I split my remaining cards open and re-grease prior to the summer months.

Looks like I've got some time to polish up the GPUs waiting for the USPS - thx rjk

I also purchased these pads. For 5970, do not use 1.0mm pads, they will raise the card too much so that the GPU could not have tight contact with the heat sink. 0.5mm pads worked for my RAMs, and I use another type of very soft 0.5mm pads for VRMs
