overheating 2080ti Memory overheating.

[Ramshy]

Hello, i got a Asus 2080ti Dual O11G with a ekwb vector water block. A couple of weeks ago i thought it would be a great idea to maintain my water cooling loop replace the termal paste with liquid metal and make a shunt mod. So far so good. Then i desided to change the thermalpads as well. Looked into the manual wich pads i suposed to use, 0.5mm. ordered them and installed them on my gpu. After a pretty short benchmark run like 1-2 sec. i saw on GPU-Z that my memory is a little hot at 110°C! Okay so i opend up my waterloop again got the gpu out and saw that the termalpads had no complete imprint from the memory. Okay i thought last time i decided to do some extra termal pads on the backplate maybe this will help press the pcb a bit against the memory. A few days later i did so reinstalled the gpu and got 110°C... okay tried it again with differend mounting pressure with differend pad sizes and locations. after all i reinstalled my gpu like 10 times and every time i had to fill again my water loop. All in all i got no full imprint of the memory and 110°C... okay -.- Lets go for 1mm maybe bigger thermalpads will do the trick... and no they dont. Got 110°C on my damn memory and i dont know what i can do now.... help... pls! By installing thermalpads at the backplate the memory overheats not as fast as without them. With 1mm pads the pcb is bend maybe thats a problem too. GPU-Z is the only programm where i can monitor the memory temp and hotspot temp where ever that is. They are pretty much the same. Sometimes there are a couple degrees of. Running a benchmark too long my computer shuts down. The shunt mods seams to be okay. Messured the resistance against those 8 pin conectors to be sure they are the right ones. I did no mod on the PCIe connection. The readings in GPU-Z and other tools are like expected half the power i am drawing. Before all of this my pc shuts down aswell. It was rare and my memory temps where at 70-80°c. Pretty high for water cooling and maybe one memory module overheated and i just dont got a temperature reading. I think i got 1mm thermalpads the first time because the pcb was bent when i disassembled it.

From this wall of text I basically seem to get that you just need some thicker thermal pads and that is it.

Tried that as well... 1mm = bend pcb and 110°C
