Yeah, I realize now that I'd have to do that anyway, as PTM pads are not available in those thicknesses (if the material even works well at those thicknesses).
What I should do is get some thermal putty to replace the pads, so I don't have to bother with getting and cutting the right size of pads.
I also found a PTM pad from Cooler Master on the market called Cryonamics. But it seems like a very new product. I can find no one even as much as mentioning it online. It's half the price of the Thermal Grizzly so I'm tempted to try it.
I read somewhere that Thermalright's Helios line includes pads equivalent to PTM7950. (I don't know if it's Helios V1, V2, or both.) Maybe they're worth a look?
