    Hi all,

    Am currently in the process of installing my EK waterblock for my GTX 570. Am preparing to cut up the thermal pads for the ram chips etc, however there are 2 different thermal pads supplied - one is slightly thicker than the other. Instructions don't mention 2 different pads :wallbash:

    Not sure which one to use - I am guessing that if there isn't sufficient contact using the thinner pad then reapply with the thicker one where contact is a problem.

    Can anyone who has already fitted one of these confirm this please? Don't want to get this wrong!

    Cheers!


    EDIT: Sorted - RTFM properly :p

    Can you not tell by the quantity of the pads. e.g. if there is lots of small pads then there probably for the graphics cards RAM, or if theres only a couple of large pads then they'll be for the processor/s.
