Would it be ok to use 1.5mm thick pad for "wide pad"?
Because i really can buy big piece of 1.5mm thick pad and cut it for 8 vram chips, narrow pad and wide pad and still have leftovers..

No my friend, for a ''wide pad'' you need a 2mm thick pad, you cna buy 2x1mm thick pads and stack them up like I did in my build, for a time being while I wait on the new pads. it works and will protect your card. Actually I will edit my current main thread from beginning and at teh end add, all sizes for mods, that I did to make things easier for new comers, who doesn't want to fight their way through this thread.

1.5+0.5 will also be okay i guess.. It just means i will have to spend a little bit more %)

Also can you guys confirm or check if micron Vram isn't at the same height as samsung Vram? That could be an issue why people having these gaps... I have micron memory and gaps, can some1 with samsung memory can confirm this?

Hey guys. I am planning on purchasing the Hybrid kit for the gtx 1080 FTW shown below. 
 
If you check the images on the kit, it uses a copper plate to cover the vram. If that's the case, would I need to replace the thermal pads on anything since it replaces the ACX 3.0 cooler for the Hybrid cooler and the copper plate covers the vram to cool it along side the gpu?

No. The Hybrid uses a completely different type of cooling plate, which means you'll only add what comes with the Hybrid kit.

I got contacted by evga representative, and he said by doing all of this (fixing their incompetent errors) you may void your warranty, so be conscious and use your common sense also when you remove the stock pads that does not match, keep them in some bag, and if you ever wanna RMA your card put them back before shipping, that way, they cant mess with you. here is the whole message from evga:

Hi there,

I mainly write to you asking that you place at the top of your OP that doing this mod may void your warranty.

Although we don't believe your method is necessary, we have a strong history of encouraging our enthusiast community, even some that wish to do extreme mods that may cause physical damage and void their warranties. However, those enthusiasts generally are aware that what they are doing will void their warranties, and I'm not sure that readers of your thread may understand that.

I do not believe that your thread should be removed, by any means, but I do request that you place a note at the top of your thread that completing your mod may void your warranty.

Cheers,
Lee
 
This is now on the top of the thread, so they dont delete this thread. Also I dont understand how can we damage our cards just by switching correct thickness pads, I guess they do indeed make money from RMA once you pop your Vram or vrms, strange but okay. I would like to hear what other users think about this by reading a this private message.

Just curious, what not just use something like AS Ceramique? I've used it in the past on VRAM heat sink chips & it works great.
Dab, dab, squish the plate down & done. Seems a little easier than all this measuring and different size heat pads.

The cooling plate doesn't make direct contact, thus the pads. Paste is designed for direct contact and you don't have that here.

no worries now.

Good point.
