So I decided to change the thermal pads of my card. Do you guys recommend the Gelid Solutions GP-Ultimate thermal pad ? It has a thermal conductivity of 15 W/m.K . I have seen most people use thermalright odessy for gpu vrams but that thermal pad is not available where I live. I found a guy on youtube changing the thermal pad of the exact same gpu as I have (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC2ho3obJXI) and I'm trying to do everything as he did in the video. Also this is the first time I'm trying to replace a thermal pad of a card and since this is very expensive and I need to be very careful, any tips and advice on this is much appriciated, thx !

Gelid is a reputable company so I would trust them for Thermal Pads to be of sufficient quality.

are you sure they have to be changed , is there an unsolvable problem you currently have to is worth the risk as the gpu isn;t functional without the change?

Yes, right now I'm mining and I'm thermal throtteling since the memory temps reach 110 C and I don't feel comfortable at all with that high temp
