So i have the Asus ROG Strix X570-I motherboard and the chipset fan is spinning loud. I have looked into it and came across a post on reddit saying they people have found no thermal pad between the headsink and chipset which can cause high temp (75-80c) and the would cause the chipset fan to spin up loud. Im looking around NZ and cant find a thermal pad @ 1.5mm and may have to import. Would anyone here have some links to thermal pad @ 1.5mm that is NZ based store.

You should just be able to use any decent thermal paste

Hi, thermal pads were only created as a mass manufactuing method of quickly installing thermal paste, so as others have said why not just use regular thermal paste its the same solution, just packaged differently, its how most other power transistors and similar are installed and how I have reinstalled more CPU's and their heat sinks than I care to number.
