Hey guys,
have a quick question about Gap-Pads (ie. those gum Thermal Pads, who usually are on GPU-ram for contact with the heatsink.
Some examples straight off google:
The Grey gum-thingies
The Pink thingies
Do these Pads loose any or all of their efficiency if you remove the Heatsink and then reapply it? The reason I ask this, is because when I usually replace the Thermal-paste I just keep the old Pads on... Never had a problem yet, but I was thinking about it (yeah, I think about this stuff WAAAY too much) and started to be kind of worried.
Thanks for the answers in advance
