What is the thickness of the thermal spacers for the GPU memory?
Good day,
I disassembled iMac 5K 27 Late 2015, M395X 4Gb to replace the thermal grease and clean the cooling system.
Tell me please: what thickness should there be thermal pads for video memory chips?
Update (07/11/2018)
I bought these here Thermal Pad material for All Coolers
Thickness 1mm. Tonight I'll make an iMac and see :-)
Is this a good question?

Zaa495, what have you discovered about the needed thickness of a thermal pad for your iMac? Is it 1mm or different?
I have to order one tomorrow, but don’t know the right thickness. For iMac 27” 2017.

@zaa495 - Thats what I use for pads you might as well order all three sizes just in case.

iMac 27” 2017 has a gap between VRAMs and cooler plate around 0.75mm.
Should I use 0.5 mm or 1 mm thermal pads?

I would use the 1 mm pad material as you do want it snug.
