So i have a Sapphire nitro RX580 8gb i picked up for cheap $70CAD from a miner, and it was used as a mining card, and in turn to have my investment last just a bit longer, i wanna replace all the thermal pads/paste. But i have no idea on what pads to use and where to get them, does anyone have some suggestions

thanks in advance

List the brand & model of the GPU as well, since different brands and/or models may use different thickness.

You know, so people can give you a more informed answer.

The thickness varies so again, refer to other people's finding on your SPECIFIC BOARD, but in general I like Gelid Thermal Pads with Arctic MX-6. Decent bang for the buck and applies like normal.

Might be helpful for you.

And no, I don't know for sure whether or not it's the correct size

Read the video description as well.
