Thermal pad replacement part Asurtuf FX505GD
Choose a thermal pad thickness that matches your needs. For the Asustuf FX505GD, 0.5mm is suitable, but 1.0mm may offer better performance if required.
Consider checking the product manual or contacting online customer support. I’ve faced the same issue as you and inquired with MSI about the appropriate thickness for my MSI laptop VRM and VRAM, since the thermal pad colors vary and thickness may differ.
or if you dont get any answer the best way to know is experiment, put the 1mm, if you get any significant gain on cpu/gpu performance because poor contact between heatsink and the die you could change to 0,5, don't use the 0,5 first because if vrm and vram have poor contact, usually they didn't have any thermal sensor to observe.
