It has been just over 4 years since I purchased this card, warranty's out, temps are not great. Question I have, has anyone did thermal pad/paste replacement on this card before? Why am I asking? Because before I put out $160 on pads (0.5,1,1.5,2 & 3mm sheets of 120x120) I'd like to ask, since so far I did not find anywhere the answer. Gamers Nexus did a tear down on it, but no pad measurements.
I found a Reddit thread which is 1 month old but for another card, which is not the Xtreme Edition.
