Thermal pads for Geforce 8800 GTS
Hi!
I installed a zalman waterblock on my Geforce 8800 GTS some time ago. Now I want to sell the card but I want to sell it with the air-cooling instead. I threw away the original thermal pads for the ram chips so I need to find a replacement for those.
Does anyone know where to find such thermal pads? They're a little thicker than usual so the regular thin tape doesn't do it.

Atmosper, you could try:
http://se.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse ... ller+sheet
The sheets of "gap filler sheets" aren't particularly cheap, especially in thicker sizes - not sure what thickness you'd need, although they are semi-squishy.
nd4spdbh, you could try that site too - Farnell have sites for most countries. Just do a search for "gap filler sheet" on whichever homepage corresponds to your country =).
