Hi,
My 2.5 years old graphics card getting too hot while playing games.. It reaches around 82°c temp.. So I replaced the thermal paste. Now I'm getting gpu temp around 62~64°c under load and 31°c in idle, But the VRM and vRAM section are getting hotter. I noticed that the thermal pads are torn and dirty.
I want to replace the thermal pads but couldn't find the right thickness:( .
So guys please help me.
Thanks in advance:)

What thickness do you need?

 

I would imagine it can't be that hard to find thermal pads you could use...

or critical for that matter...

1. How do I measure? I have a measuring scale(inch and cm units), can't measure it precisely. And pads are torn and squeezed a lot , not in its original form.

2. I live in outskirts. Thermal pads are not available in locale store. So I have to buy online and there are so many different sizes.:(

go to aliexpress and buy whatever thermal pads are there. Thickness probably doesn't matter like, at all. 

I'm afraid heatsink may not fit properly on gpu die due to pads thikness..Though I'm not sure of about it.

I also noticed that pads on the vRAM are much thicker then pads on the VRM

no it wont. Thermal pads are soft and meant to be squeezed.

 

Just get 1mm ones. They will be squished when you screw the cooler back on.

The pads will squish itself out when you tighten the screws, heck its likely better like that. Makes sure there's no chance of not contacting.

Hi guys,

Thanks again your help.

I got the 1 mm thermal pads yesterday and it fit properly. I did benchmarking with unigine heaven for a half an hour. GPU temp stayed at 65c and also play game for an hour, it never exceed 60c. But one thing I noticed that the black plate is getting too hot, It may burn your skin. unfortunately I don't have any thermometer to measure the temperature. I googled for a solution and found this video on that 

So what I did is, took heat sinks form my old GPUs and place it on top of the back plate with TIM and thermal pad on the opposite side of the pcb.

Surprisingly the back plate remains cool after doing benchmark and playing games.

Though I'm not sure about this method. Is it a proper way? 

Guys please share your views.

you are overthinking this quite heavily. cooling the backplate does next to NOTHING to cool the PCB. Otherwise the card manufacturers would be doing it. all you're doing at this point is placing shear stress on the PCIe slot.

Ok then I'll remove it.

So that amount of heat doesn't fry the card??

nope. Backplates routinely get quite hot, and it's nothing to get concerned about. the VRMs are rated to temperatures above the boiling point of water.

I would personally point a case fan towards it.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

I'm from India. Due to import duty It becomes costly.

But I think I can make it from scratch.

Some rivets, an L bracket and a standard pcie slot would do the trick
