Basically a copper shim is supposed to prevent the laptop from over-heating and frying your GPU (or CPU)
But I keep getting different answers, some say this heatsink traps more heat than it should, others, that it prevents overheating all-together.
I have never installed one myself and I've worked on hundreds of laptops by now, usually, a dab of artic silver and a well-seated heatsink does the job for most overheating purposes.
