What do you mean "shimming the GPU?"
My guess would be to cut out a shim to go around the non core portion
of the GPU. When you bolt the heatsink back down, it will put pressure
on top of the chip and sometimes make better electrical connection if
there was a flaky connection.
Forgot to mention, the shim that is generally used is made out of card
stock. Like an index card or two on top of one another.
