I've bought a used E6430 i5 laptop.
8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 1600 x 900 with NVS on eBay at USD $220. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201650834525
I took apart the heatsink and noticed the thermal gap pad for the northbridge is missing. The Vram of nVidia GPU had the pads on.
This is the image I found on Google. The end of the heat pipe is where the northbridge goes.
May I know thickness should I get?
I could order from this online store below. The site has listing with "self-adhesive". I don't know which one to get.

Any recommendations?
