Hello I want to replace my m.2 drives and want to replace the thermalpads to but i don know what thickness pad i need cant find it anywhere i read somewhere that it is different on every motherboard i have a asus x570 e gaming

I've bought a second hand 3090 (Gainward Phoenix), and the hotspot temp sometimes goes up to 108 degrees, while the card itself is at 75. the solution seems to be to re-paste and replace the pads, however, after getting this spec sheet for the pads, i have not been able to find something that fits the specs. The pictures show the specs for the thermal pads that i got from Gainwards EU support through XpertVision (handles EU support for them) The problem is that i have yet to see hardness at ANY manufacturer, even after looking at some industrial manufacturers spec sheets. The core issue though, i that i have not been able to find 2.25mm pads outside of aliexpress, and I'd prefer a clear brand, as well as local support. Any help on this would be amazing The case I use is a Lian Li Lancool 2 performance, so Airflow is def not the issue, it persists with everything (fans) on 100%, and the case is maxed out in terms of fans for this setup. (other than that its a 5800x with NH-D15 on a MSI MAG b550, win 10)

This was an eBay card, I got a couple months ago, didn't really think much of it, But I occurred to me that the fans shouldn't really be ramping up incredibly high when booting and then back down. So I popped apart the cooler (which was already missing two backplate screws), and this is what I found. Some of these are just straight and missing, and I have no idea what I need to get to replace all of these. Looking at the state of some of these, I think I should just replace every single one of them. And before you ask, yes that thermal paste dripping all over the board is hard, I did not drip that across the board. I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't think to check this sooner, But it is high time I correct it.

Hey LTT Community! Does anyone have the measures of thermal pads? Im getting high temps (it´s not airflow nor anything else, it just needs maintenance, and I want to change the the Thermalpads + Thermal paste) Please Help!! On google I just found that the memories thermal pads are 2.0mm thick, but there is no info on Vrams! Thank you!!

I've been occasionally repasting both my personal Laptops and some devices at work. But I've always run into issues: The temps are great for the first couple days, but just a few weeks / months after repasting, the CPU is back to old temps. One year later, I even had a few devices crashing because of the CPU overheating under load. After some googling, it turns out that the regular thermal paste (Arctix MX4 / MX5) that I've been using, isn't ideal for direct die application. I suppose it doesn't as well, because of pump out. Reddit recommends to go with high viscosity thermal compound, such as Gelid GC Extreme or Honeywell PTM7950. What is generally considered the best price/performance thermal compound for laptops? And is there a difference in what I should use between repasting office and gaming laptops?

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding the use of a pad, and or thermal paste. I have a mini notebook which has a small gap between the CPU and the heatsink. I need to fill aprox. 0,5 mm. I am thinking about 2 possible solutions: 1. I will use an Arctic MX-4 paste (8,5 W/mK) on the heatsink, then comes a copper pad (400 W/mK), then the paste again (8,5 W/mK) and then the CPU. So Basicaly the copper pad is between the heatsink and the CPU "glued together" from both sides by the thermal paste. 2. I will use a high thermal conductive pad, like Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad Extreme (0,5mm, thermal conductivity 28,8 W/mK). What is the better solution? Does the copper pad solution make sense, when it is basically between 2 layers of thermal paste? Thanks for any tips. -
I am having a problem with thermal throttling on my Palit Gamrock RTX 3070, last time I changed my thermal paste I saw the thermal pads are crumbling. But I didn't pay much attention to them. Now the issue is this my GPU thermal throttle on the temp limit way before reaching the actual limit (Games stutter also). Maybe the memory modules are overheating? See attached pictures. If this is really a thermal pad issue, which is probably nonexistent now. Should I buy 2mm pads to replace all of them? Another problem is that my RGB strip is malfunctioning, halfway through one strip on one side. Video of my Card RGB Malfunctioning. As you can see half of it is of the same color, and it sometimes turns completely off. Which one should I buy to replace it? I can't find anything on it on the Internet, there are RGB, RGW, different pins, etc. Any help with any of the issues is appreciated. I am lost, good gelid thermal pads are expensive here I don't want to waste money.

Hello, first time posting here. I was wondering what in your opinion is tue best thermal pads, paste, and Liquid Metal for Pc use. From what I found most companies like thermal grizzly make all these claims but don’t actually give the numbers or even have their product be sold by any retailers

I'm planning to repaste my laptop (specs below) as it runs a little too hot for my liking. Running at 90C and above even at idle. However I'm unsure of what to do on a particular aspect of the process. From videos and images (also below) my laptop uses thermal paste on components around the CPU and GPU. I've got a pretty good grasp of applying CPU and GPU thermal paste so that isn't an issue for me. To the point, for the components around both chips would it be sensible to replace the paste with a suitable thermal pad? If not what thermal paste would be appropriate for those components? Laptop Specs: ASUS ROG Zephryus M GA502DU Ryzen 7 3750H GTX 1660 TI Max-Q 16GB RAM

Hello. I have graphic card XFX RX 580 GTS XXX Edition 8GB. I want to open it and clean but I don't know which thickness for thermal pads I need. Some YouTube channels told that 1mm would be good. For chip I want to use MX-4 thermal paste, I think that's good enoguh, but for thermal pads I don't know. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance. best regards, acmilan2

Good day!! As the title suggests, just want to ask if anyone knows the thickness of the thermal found in the galax gtx 1660ti 1-click oc. I am planning to repaste my gpu soon and also changing the pads in the process. Cant really find a useful teardown online so I hope someone can help thanks!!

Hello. I want to change my cards thermal pad after 5 years of use but I don't know pads thickness. I am not able to open card and measure pads right now. Can anyone tell me the thicknesses that have changed before ?

Hi! I am looking to purchases some thermal pads for my 1080 G1. How ever I couldn't find any concrete information on what thickens pads should I get. Anyone here knows or have done this replacement? Thank you!

Hello, I just got my second hand GTX 1080 and in tests like Heaven benchmark and Furmark it gets close to 90 degrees. I also tested it in Dota 2 and there it stays around 70 degrees. I think it's a good idea to change the thermal paste but why not change the pads ass well. The problem is i couldn't find anywhere what pads I need. So what thickness should they be and is there something more to it that i should know? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I have an quit old gpu (Rx570) Gigabyte Aorus to be precise So i had temps going up a little bit (79~81) then i decided to change the thermal pad and paste I was wondering for the right thickness of pads because i apparently got them wrong (i did change them) After i changed them the temps went up to (86~91) i have read that someone had the same issue in last April but i couldn't reach him to see if they have solve it I am sorry for the big essay but i need an answer By the way i have got 0.5 m on vram. 1.5 m on vrm. 1 m on mosphites

I have a ZOTAC 2070 mini, it's 4 years old now, and I'm having overheat problems. I opened it up, and on the memory and processor there are thermal pads. I suppose they are cheap ones since they are all over the place, and the card was cheap. My question here is: Should I get thermal pads for it, since it has thermal pads, or can I use thermal paste? To be clearer, I'm only interested in replacing the core one, since that's closer to replacing the one on a CPU, and I'm not secure enough to replace the memory ones. And also another note, I already have the thermal paste here with me, so of course I prefer using it to buying something I don't have, but overall I want what's best for it's performance and general lifespan.

So last month, I've stop using my single Gigabyte 1660 Super OC Dual Fan for Crypto mining because I've notice some reduced performance when I'm gaming but I know that's practically normal. I've read a topic where it says that changing the thermal paste and thermal pads on the GPU will bring back the original performance of the card. So I bought a 2mm CPU Thermal Silicone Heatsink pad for replacement. At stock pads, my gpu was having around 60-70 temps. then after replacing all of the thermal pads and thermal paste, now it's worse. Having around 72-81 temps. So I thought my thermal pads measurement went wrong. Any Ideas what went wrong or what's the specific pad sizes on my card and how can I properly replace my thermal pads?

Hello everyone, I buy recently my titan Xp second hand and i won to replace the pad and termal paste for my card. I kown is not the same as the Xp fe i really need to find what thicness is before buying something can somebody help me. He shut down resently in hot wave of this month (34celsius room tamperture) and I don't want it to break plesse :) -
Hello, So I have a bit of a weird one... I recently received a defect EVGA 1060 6GB single fan card (06G-P4-6161-KR). The fan had died and former owner tried to fix, but no luck. I got only the PCB and mounting bracket - no cooler, aluminum heatsink or backplate. I did however have a Kraken G12 and a Corsair H55 lying around, thinking it would work out just fine (although, it looks foolish due to placement of chip as well as lenght of card). My only issue now is: how do I cool all the small components, VRM, Mosfets etc. Do I buy a set of heatsinks with adhesive? Thermal tape? I guess thermal pads wont work as I have nothing to conduct the heat. Bonus: What do I need to have cooled and what don't I need to cool? Forgive my mistakes, I am fairly new to playing around with GPU's Have an awesome day, thanks for reading :)

Hey guys, I'm in the process of rejuvenating my GTX 1060 (because shortage) and it basically needs a fan change since the old one stopped spinning (71°C idling was my cue). But in the process of repairing, I started learning all kinds of new stuff like your GPU could die because this or that and it got me worrying about the thermal pads as well: So I'm asking for pairs of eyes to help me figure out if I need to change those pesky pads, I'll add pictures for you to see. Cheers! PS #1: The model is a Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB mini and I believe (I got it in a pre-builts (yeah never again I know)) the number is GV-N1060IXOC-3GD PS #2: I found that the 1060 6GB mini has 1.5mm pads for VRMs and (possibly) 0.5mm pads for memory but I have no way at the moment of verifying this information... On the card : On the heatsink:

This pic is from the first time I was cleaning my new build. I saw these liquid particles on SSD heatsink and also on SSD itself. I didn't spill water on PC and AIO doesn't leak. This is something else that I don't know. I cleaned this of course but every time I disassembly the heatsink, these particles are always there. Not as much as the pic anymore but there are still some. I wouldn't care a lot if temps didn't drop like 10°C on idle. Currently it's 47°C on idle which is really high in my opinion. I bought my motherboard around 10-11 months ago, just some days after B550's launch. It's a B550 Gaming Edge Wi-Fi to be exact. MSI's support told me that I can replace the one in motherboard with some thermal pad. My question is, do these wear out/melt that quick? If yes, what can I buy for a replacement thermal pad? You'll ask about case airflow, my case is Xigmatek Aquarius Plus (you probably never heard it before, its fan layout is like Lian Li O11 Dynamic) with correct fan layout (intakes at the bottom + 240mm AIO as intake on the rear panel and 3 on top + 1 on the back as exhaust).

I've swapped the pads for gelid extremes 1,5mm and paste for arctic mx-5 on my 3080ti FE. At first I put a lot of paste and mem temps dropped down but GPU temps went up. Someone told me that I've put to much paste so I repasted with much less. Now these are temps after a few minutes of just driving around in GTA 5 (1440p max). Should I be concerned? Especially that hot spot. Is something wrong and if it is, what can I do?

Hi, I've been looking at buying thermal pads for my laptop, and I was wondering about thickness and how to determine the correct thermal pad for my application (thermal pads ive been looking at)
-
I wanted to repad my 3080ti fe. Used gelid extremes 1.5mm on core side and mx4 paste. Vram trmps got a bit better, but core is running 80C. I disassembled the card again and this is what I saw. Was there to little paste? It looks like in the middle there are spots where there is very little paste. Any suggestions/ideas?
