Hello, I would like to perform maintenance on my notebook:
  •  I would like to know the measurements of the thermal pads, they are 1mm or 0.5mm or both; know if the thermal pads that I attach in the photo are the correct measurements and know if these brands are recommended for thermal pads: Gelid ultimate thermal pads, Arctic Thermal Pad, Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8, and know if I apply Kronaunt thermal paste or Noctua-NT-H2.

  • Also to know if I can change the pink paste in which the VRAM's are when it is already deteriorated by the K5 pro paste.

    There is no specified pads thicknesses for the AN515-54 from Acer, so measure more or less the thicknesses of the OEM pads and match them accordingly, as that is the best way to do a replacement of all pads/paste for and including the existing VRAM pads that your AN515-54 needs. I would suggest that you use the high grade Thermal Grizzly pads/paste products, as they have all sizes and thicknesses that you require and will match the OEM pads/paste as they even have the "Thermal Grizzly TG Remove" that is a specialized removing liquid that you should use, which I have found that all their products are of a very high quality for all components that need thermal heat dispersion as I've used them on many laptops and desktops and they work very well and very efficiently to and in comparison to the OEM pads/paste that is fitted.

    I was thinking of using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme on the CPU/GPU and VRAM Kryonaunt Thermal Paste and for the ThermalPad Thermalright Odyssey 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm chips depending on existing thermal pads.
