I have personally never replaced a thermal pad on a gpu during a tim swap unless the pads were literally crumbling from being so dried out.

Yeah, they are compressed when the heatsink is attached. Just measure them in their compressed state and get thicker ones.

Say...if they are .5mm get some 1-1.5mm

/e Or juast get a modern vid card. The GTX 580 was a hot ass card, and drew a ton of power. Not to mention, that compared to today's cards, it's just about useless anymore.
