What's the thickness between 1. card VRM 2. card VRAM To the front heatsink (side with fan) If anyone can answer that would be great. Going to buy some fujipoly pads to keep the VRMs cool when overvolting. @ EVGATech_KevinS

Those fujipoly thermal pads are pretty hard compared to the stock pads that are on the card. I remember replacing some 1mm stock pads with 1mm fuijpoly pads many years ago, and just couldn't get the gpu cooler back on the card. Had to get 0.5mm fujipoly pads eventually to get the card back together. Stock pads are soft and squishy and gets squeezed a little when the cooler is on. The fujipoly pads are hard/stiff, and barely squeezes at all when putting the cooler back on which might give you trouble putting the card back together.

Thickness is 1.2mm
welp if I put 1mm pads will it still contact the vrm and plate?

I've never bothered to do anything like this before, but I'm also interested in this, and if it's going to help the VRAM on my TTXs, even in the slightest, then I'd like to go ahead and swap them out if it isn't too much trouble. Fujipoly seems to only offer 1.0mm and 1.5mm thickness pads, so should we assume that 1.0mm isn't going to provide enough contact, or should we be opting for the 1.5mm thickness and they will compress after the cooler has been reinstalled? Or would 1.5mm put too much stress on them or some other component?
Also, I'd like to replace the pads on the backplates, as well. Are they 1.2mm thickness too?

You can see here, backplate is 1mm for memory and 2mm for the middle part(?) http:// abload .de/gallery.php?key=uSq4yzrN I buy the EVGA backplate. I already ordered the 1mm fujipoly ultra -______- I read Jacob's post and went like f**k since those were 20usd a sheet, I really hope that 1mm makes good contact with the pcb vrm. Else I need to shell another 20usd for 1.5mms

correct, I don't think the 17w/mk had ever sold beyond 1.5mm. I only bought that for the vrm since I plan to push 1.274 volts and that's pretty high for the reference pcb. for the vram, I think 6w/mk is more than enough don't stack 17w/mk pads though, I think you should just buy thicker pads in the case that you need it.

Sorry to necro but is this 100% confirmed the thermal pad distance between stock NVTTM plate and GDDR5/VRM is 1.2mm? or is that just the size of the pads they use on them and they compress down to 1mm or lower? I'm trying to find appropriate fujipoly thermal pads which I've heard don't compress like the stock pads do. Did any of you succeed in replacing the pads and can confirm the distance?

The fujipoly pads definately don't compress like the stock pads do, which sadly makes it a little hard to guess what thickness to get.
And the Titan X is no cheap card to fry if the pads don't make proper contact lol.

Yeah I'd definitely seat the plate and then lift it to make sure it was making good contact. STR8_AN94BALLER

Did you successfully apply 1.5mm fujis to the VRM on a TITANX? Did it compress a lot? I think the 6w/mk ones are squishier and compress more than the 11w/mk and 17w/mk though. I plan on getting the 17w/mk but unsure whether to get 0.5mm, 1.0mm, or 1.5mm. I hear they're quite stiff though.

Thickness is 1.2mm
welp
if I put 1mm pads will it still contact the vrm and plate?
EVGA uses 1.5mm pads. they compress down a bit for the 1.2mm clearance. I have not seen any thermal pad material in 1.2mm thickness. Usually industry standard .5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm 2.0mm. Use your 1.0mm thick high quality pads but put a small dab of good TIM (the kind you would use on the GPU die) on the chips you are going to cover with the new thermal pads. This will make up the .2mm difference needed and in essence give you a little compression like the original thermal pads do.

I just got a reply from EVGA they told me 1.0mm is the standard size for NVidia reference cooler, hmm.
