The Fujitsu notebook video card died and I picked up another motherboard to replace it (integrated video) When I took off the video chip heatsink, it had thermal tape underneath and it broke apart... Should I pick up new thermal tape or a thermal pad to replace it or can I somehow use the Silver Arctic paste on this? It looks like it might be a messy situation if I use it on the little chip and it might not be thick enough to touch the heatsink..

its good enough for its purpose, laptops are not overclocked.
