Hello,

I purchased a X2 Pro and am looking to do some cooling modifications modifications to it.

 

I cant find a 49mmX52mmX1.5mm Arctic thermal pad. The closest I can find is a 50X50X1.5.

Would this work on the copper heat sink?

Also I assume this is going on top of the copper heat sink, have you tried a thermal past like arctic silver on the SoC it’s self or is there to much of a gap between the screwed down copper plate and the SoC?

Then A 50mmX50mmX0.5mm Arctic pad on the back of the case
