Before and after replacing thermal pads compare test
Replacing thermal pads on Gigabyte 3080 10gb graphic card, stock ones on front side, and upgrade it and put also new ones on rear side, where no pads.
Front replacing with 2mm thermal pads, and rear also with 2mm thermal pads. This one 3080 does not have thermal throttling problems, and works perfect, mining 102,4 Mhs on Etherium, but the main problem is temperature of memory, Ram memory (Junction Memory temperature) that you can not see in Msi Afterburner, it is very high, and in some times it hits 110-114 celsius degres. This is definetley not good for your memory and it will burn part of your cells after while.
After replacement new pads, results are very good. In same setings in msi afretburner that are tested before temerature hits 104 celsius, and after replacement, on same setting it hits 88 celsius, and that is 16 degress less than before, what is amazing results. Stock pads are obviously not so good quality, and rear side doesent have any of them, so it is good to replace and upgrade.

the best thermal pad replacement vid I've found for the 3080. thanks
thanks!
I have the exact same model, just finished the thermal pad exchange and it's a freakin' miracle! From 107º to 88º, EPIC!
great results
Thanks a lot ! On the same card i put 2mm thermalright everywhere and now went from 110°C/100% fan/75 mhs to 78°C/80% fan/99mhs ! Insane that difference !
Great results, very nice job!
thats a nice improvement. Are you on linux hiveos? what are your overclock settings if you dont mind sharing?
the metal is 1mm and the copper 2mm. I measured it wiht an architect ruler. I get below 80c and 103 hash at 230 watts. I think I can hit 70c if the temperature outside is 70F or less. I used same pad brand as you and that seems to be a big factor.
this mod is amazing, I've replaced the pads with thermal grizzly minus pad 8, 1mm for caps, 2mm for memories and 3mm for backplate. I've used my previously setup and hit 110 degrees on VRAM pretty quickly, after the replacement, 76 degrees. The impact was way bigger than I expected, now I can push for +1100 MEM while previously I could barely even touch +750. Great improvement and it was really worth it.
Edit: after 1 week of tweaking, 42*C core, 84*C at 80% fan speed seems to be the equilibrium with -200 core and +1050 MEM has a steady 97MH/s
Thanks for the size info. Will order the grizzly stuff
Finding thermal grizzly is almost impossible. You put 1mm on the caps?
Can you share the branh name of pad
What minus pad 8? I bought the grizzly pad but haven’t try it yet. I don’t know exactly which size I need for each pad
the Fujipoly or Thermalright Thermal Pad 12.8 W/mK are better pads then the grizzly pads they only do 8w/mK
I finally got around to replacing front pads and adding back pads. Back pads have quite the impact, the backplate never got hot before because of the lack of pads. Temps on the memory junction seems to be holding at 86 celsius compared to the 110 that it was hitting before. Id pretty much given up mining on this card till the pad replacements. My pads weren’t perfectly straight and as headsup to others; there are markings on the card to indicate where the pads go and the size. Noticed it and was super helpful when i lost track of where to put them. The backpads were extremely annoying and wouldn’t stay put. So try to be quick when placing them and putting the backplate back together. Make sure you have enough thermal pads before starting this process. The 2mm are abit thicker than the ones on the outside, probably 1mm for the outside ones. The inside coppers ones are the 2mm and the ones one the back. Appreciate the help and encouraging others to attempt this. Didn’t seem to bad, and have extremely shaky hands for these kind of things.
Likes others said, thanks for the simple straight to the point tutorial. After months of newegg shuffle I scored a 3080 vision and was disappointed it maxing out at ~70mh/s and thermal regulating @ 110c. It now runs between 80-90c 95+mh/s easy (undervolted). Also fans aren't going 100% crazy all the time and the backplate isn't on fire.
Thanks for the video. I used thermalright pads and Mx-5 paste, also added pads for the capacitors, the temperature went from 76°C GPU, 110°C VRAM on 80Mh/s to 46°C GPU, 76°C VRAM on 101MH/s.
Nice work!
Hey Kenny, did you also use all 2mm thermal pads for the front and back like Kruno? The really skinny ones on the front look like they could be thinner than 2mm in the video
Thank you
Great vid Kruno
and what about the gpu die itself ?
After adding all new pads to everything my temps average dropped by 20C.
Incredible results. My performance went from performing below average for my card to outperforming 98%of cards in similar spec. This mod is sooooooo worth it
What thicknesses did you use ? All 2 mm ? Thanks.
did this with my aorus 3080 master... temps dropped from 106 to 72. It's ridiculus.
Thank you so much man!
excelente results!
How many MM pads did you use for the fronat and back of the card? I have aorus 3080 master (rev 1.0) too, but it's memory is too hot.
Thanks a lot. I did it today. Wasn’t able to disconnect the vent cables so it was a bit tricky. But got it done and temp is down like 20 -25 degrees now. Thanks a lot !
Glad it helped!
Great results, nice job!😉
Just did this upgrade. Worth it! No more thermal throttling. Fell about 20C on VRAM.
Very nice! Thats better results than mine👍🏻
@@KrunoEti i used gelid solutions pads on the front of the VRAM. Maybe that's why. They should be able to transfer heat better than noname pads.
Anyone is better than stock, for sure... they are crap
@@nedern what thickness?
@@nedern is that 6w/per Melvin?
Thank you! Your video gave me the courage to do the same on my 3080 Eagle. Went from 110°C 84 MH/s to 90°C 99MH/s! Hopefully it lasts a long time!
Hope it breaks down soon - play games on it
Did u use the same thermal pads or different ones? Just asking bc I need to buy thermal pads and idk if these will do or if I should go Thermalright.
Hazrul nizam is your 3080 new or used?
Thermalwear says its non-conductive? The heating pads he referred are conductive. I would assume that makes a difference but don't know. Anyway the sale the same ones he's referencing on Amazon too. Blue conductive silicon 2mm.
I found these thermal pads on Amazon called Frosty ice Cube Thermal pads 12.8 W/mk. It looks nearly identical to thermalright but 40% off. Would these work for the mod? I’m trying to save some dough but not sure if it can work.
I added 2mm pads front and back to a 3080 gaming OC. Used expensive Fujipoly 17 W/mK pads - 1mm, doubled up. Previously ran at 60 Mh/S at 105 degrees C. Now 95 Mh/s at 70 degrees C memory junction temp. Amazed!
Wow, great results
Wow nice. Can I use double 1mm pads instead 2mm?
Your post is giving me so much confidence. Thanks i am looking to change it aswell, it's even worse in gaming, memory Temps shoots to 100 deg
Why TF did gigabyte do such a shotty thermal pad job?
After the replacment of thermal pads on only ddr6x at the front and addign pads at the backside of ddr6x, my temps went from 108C at 92mh/s to 74C at 103mh/s. It is so fucking amazing that this "little mod" could perform that well. Shame on Gigabyte for doing so shitty job at keeping thermals under control... Thanks dude for sharing that with us!
what thermal pads(+mm) did you bought and how much of each please?
Did you use 2mm in front and back too ? Thanks.
I just got a 3080 and also want to do this. He makes it look so easy.
Thank you so much I have finally committed to doing this and performance improved exponentially it’s actually ridiculous my card used to reach 114 degrees on the memory and now it can’t break 86 degrees after this mod you’re an absolute lifesaver thank you so much
Nice, glad to help you. Great results, for sure!
Thanks. I used thermalright 2 mm pads. Now 74 - 76 °C at 99 MH/s and 80 %.
Fantastic improve!
did u replaced with 2mm only?
GPU or memory junction?
Just performed the same swap with my Gigabyte Gaming 3080 OC...was mining around 102-106...Swapped the pads (didn't add on the back side as a ran out of pads)...Now mining at 74 degrees...THANK YOU!!!! 99-101 MH/s
Wow, awsome results👍🏻
same here. no back plate pads. 74c 103 hash
Very good job, best describtion very clear!
I would like to change my thermal pads but I can’t stop dancing
One of the best and to the point video I have seen on this topic. Well done! You should do one for Strix 3080 as well. No clear video for that on youtube yet.
Thanks! Great suggestion!
This video definitely encouraged me to place thermal pads on my 3080,thank you
By the way,which software do you use to turn on rgb led on your 3080
thanks alot, nice to hear that, here is vid for leds: th-cam.com/video/o2yiv9D5eF8/w-d-xo.html
Just waiting for my pads. Great video.
Good luck!
Did it to the same gpu of mine. Backplate 3mm, front capacitors 1mm and front memory 2mm. Using overclock (62% PL / -200 core / +1200 memory) managed to get (99.6MH/s / 60 celcius gpu / 84 celcius memory / 90% fan). Stock pad was 90MH/s & memory 110 celcius throttling. Thanks Kruno for the video... works great for me!
Very nice results, glad that help you!
Can I use 1.5 for front capacitor?
try it, this one is 2mm
@@KrunoEti I’m a little confused. Which sizes should I get altogether ?? Thanks for the help so far. 100000% appreciated
@@Frosty2211 if is soft pad 1,5mm/2mm/ 2,5mm if is a hard pad 1mm/1,5mm/2mm!
Worked like an absolute charm, 95 degrees under max limit, mining at 90MH/s. Way better than 70MH/s under 110 degrees!
clock -250 mem +1300 -power 65% you should get 100

Thanks a lot. I just did this with 2mm on both sides and went from 80-85//// to 98!!!!! Amazing.
What model do you have? Pads may be too thin
Thank you! I took the Gelit Ultimate pads and Thermal Grizzly kryonaut Extreme and mining temps went from 108 Celcius to 76 Celcius! Should have done this much sooner.
Great results, nice!
This is pretty much what you do when you install a watercooling block for the 3080 Gaming OC. All of these come with thermal pads for the backplates so this is pretty much what we watercooling enthusiasts do already. Why the original air cooler setup does not have pads to the backplate is a mystery to me.
There is no watercooling for this card
i put thermalright pads on 1mm capacitors 2mm memory and 3mm on the back, was mining raven at 40 to 42mhs before, its sitting 47 to 48 Mhs thanks champ
awesome video! I'm ready to void my waranty now lol. I have two identical 3080s that the memory sits at 90 on the NHM High preset. I still would prefer the memory be 86/88. THank you!!
Hey Kruno :) i want to thank you for the vídeo. Its really well done and i did exactly as you. Although i used 2mm thermalright pad in front and black plate. I can tell you that before this..i had 110C degree and around less than 83mh/hashrate. Now its 74C degree !! And 102 MH/hashrate ! A huge improvement in my graphic card . And btw for those who want to know i used artic Mx-5 as thermal past. Again thank you so much for the vídeo :)
Great improvment! Thanks for sharing!🙂
Thank you so much your video was very informative my vram temp have decreased from 98 to 82-84
I have changed front 1.5 mm thickness
Around the core 2 mm thickness
Backplate 3mm thickness
Result fascinated
Glad it helped, and nice final results!
Ahhh finally,Something i can afford😌Pads
Thank you for this video sitting at 88 max for my junction temp now!
Thats the result, nice work!😉
I can tell you know exactly what you are doing. Very good job.
dude, if nothing else, blew my mind with the quick paper stencil to remember where screws go lol
😁😉
Got a used 3080 Vision for gaming and the fans kept ramping up on their own ( nothing to do with the fan curve) well above 100% to like 3500 rpm every so often when under high load, had a look at temps, saw they were getting pretty high and came to the conclusion that the thermal pads needed replaced.
After opening the card up, it seems the person before me had also tried replacing the pads, but the ones they replaced had completely dried out and crumbled off when removing them, after replacing/adding in new pads it's running perfectly with much better temps, and the fan ramping has completely stopped.
I used 2mm thick pads everywhere, and a 100x100x2 sheet was enough for front and back with a little bit left over.
edit: also when rescrewing it be careful that you get as even pressure as possible on the GPU (shiny thing in the middle), as that can cause high hot spot temps if it's not even.
Nice job
Thanks for the guide. Just what I needed
VRAM front: 80x40x2mm
VRAM back: 80x40x3mm (or 2.5mm)
Pads on the side: 1mm
RTX 3080 Ti 12Gb Gigabyte Gaming oс
thank you, thanks to this video my GPU VRAM (Gygabite gaming oc rtx3080 rev.1) temperatures dropped from 106C to max 80C and lower at full load while playing games. I used thermal paste thermal grizzly kryonaut and thermal pads Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8 - 100 × 100 × 2,0 mm (8W) .... its realy working and default thermal pads they were bad, and on the backplate side there were even only 2 and they were laid badly
great results, thanks!
was going to do a byski water cooling but the plate cost $300, if anything this will help cause i have the same card, been seeing this working a lot so wonder why they cheaped out on it when they could of done a deal with a company to improve it for everyone.
Can also add more cooling on other parts of the plate as well, there's a few extra little spots you can cover to also bring better cooling.
I did the same card but a 3090 model. This one has just more memory chips, mostly on the backside. I think everything else is the same. I measured thickness of the original pads befor replacing them. I noticed that you just put 2 mm everywhere. I'm worried that you are either putting too much stress on your PCB or that your core temps are higher now because of poor contact with the cooler.
To my opinion you need 1 mm on the front side on everything except for the memory which needs 2 mm. On the backside you need 2 mm on the memory as well (if there is memory. its not on a 3080) and 3mm is the right distance to the back plate. So if you want thermal guidance from the pcb to the backplate, I think 3mm is the way to go to. My 3090 has a 3mm on the backside originally.
Last remarkt: spend more time on selecting the right pads and paste. For a little extra money, much better solutions are available. Use at least 12 W/mK.
I tryed with 3mm on backside but i cant assemble back cover, to much thickess and pressure that I affraid to crack something
@@KrunoEti Well, then that must be another difference between the 3080 and 3090 version. Wondering why that part is different then... I'l make a video about the 3090 pad replacement.
@@hephaestus7058 I found this vid as assumed the 3090 was going to be exactly the same. The thermalright pads I think he uses are 12.8W/mK. I was planning on buying the 120x120 2mm and following this guide. I can't pulled apart, you pulled apart and measured?
Huge drop in temps very excellent work.
Yep, so true, thanks
It would be so nice if you could just find a spec sheet with the thickness of the pads, I nearly killed my 3080 because I used pads that were too thick
true, you need 2mm for some spots and 1mm for other spots!
Only did the memory thermal pads bc I couldn’t remove the fan connectors. Went from 68 mhs to 77mh/s. Backplate pads are 100% needed
Update: I added backplate thermals, I now hit 85 mhs with no oc, memory still maxes out at 110, with oc I can get about 92mhs, still at 110. Best of luck to you all!
@@zebaba you can hit 95-100mh with cooler settings, (-202 core/+1250 memory / ~70% power limit (or 220W))
Thanks, how much did it last? did you have to repalce them again?
I guess if you used higher quality thermal pads like 8W/mk or 12W/mk instead of the 5w you used, it could be much better right?
Doing this improved my VRAM temps while mining from 106-108C down to 96-98C so pretty good. I'm pretty sure the most important thing here is adding the pads where they previously didn't exist on the backplate. The backplate never got hot before this now it gets really hot. Stupid Gigabyte designed this card so poorly the backplate was actually trapping heat inside.
thats it? I went from 110c to 75c. Never did the backplate. Not necessary. use 1mm pads on the metal spots and 2mm pads on teh copper. Use quality pads, not the cheap stuff. I read so many comments people repeating what you said and its all incorrect. I never padded the plate and get temps in the 70s and 103 hash. Id even cut the pads a bit wider than the originals
@@protagonist6969 Which pads did you go with?
@@protagonist6969 which brand of pads did you use?
Nice clear video. Going to order the pad and try it on my Galax card. Running 100c mem all the time does not seem like a good idea.
I bought the recommended pads and placed them accordingly following every step. At first it did indeed work and I got really nice stable temperatures never higher that 80-85C. One day though, the hotspot started going higher and higher until no matter the load the GPU was under, hotspot read a constant 105C. After enduring this for a long time and because I started having random disconnections (screen video going black) I decided to refit the pads and clean the GPU, and try to see whether the pads were making proper contact. Nothing worked. Until, I decided to remove the recommended 3mm backplate pads which I had added just like in this video. Boom, hotspot read 86C max under a stress test. I really do not understand why adding pads to the backplate made matters worse.
Thats depends of card and fitment, mine works perfect, also with back pads, now for more than 3 years
@@KrunoEti Thanks for the response. I actually have the very same card as in the video and bought the same product by thermal pads eu.
Edit: I checked and your product is not by thermalpads eu, it's just that on their site, my GPU links to your video for a replacement guide, which confused me.
Link just foward you to page where you have many of them to choose, mine was thermal oddisey as you can see it from video
1mm on mosfets (all long narrow strips on heat sink other than memory chips), 2mm on memory chips, 3mm on back and smash it in there.
Brought my junction from 108c down to 80c. Fan from 100% to 60%
101 mh
Same pads or different?
Thanks a lot BRO now 82° junction :)
You are welcome! Great results!
Thanks dude, nice tuto. I will finaly go for it. I don't do mining, but the card is way too loud when I play because it's going too hot. (vision RTX 3080)
Good luck, and wish you great final results
You forgot the de-shrouding and replacing the fans with Noctua 3000rpm industrial fans - good for another 4-8 degrees C at least - very loud though good for mining
You can do that?
6:12 you miss at 3 spot where caps got no thermal pads !!
Didn't do the backplate change sitting around 90-92, I guess I have to add some when summer comes
I know this is and old comment but can you recommend pads? I am seeing on Amazon 12 W/mk pads from gelid/thermalright/ fuji poly/ and frosty ice plus. If they are all similar should I just choose the cheapest one?
I’m saving this video
Thank's a video! Correct guide.
Nice, thanks, glad to help
By lowering the temp that much it takes the failure rate to 1/2 previous in time.
Hi did you use 2mm thermal pads for the whole card ? Great video btw really helpful 👍🏻
For me 1.5mm on front memory. back I did 2x1.5mm but you can do 2.5mm and will do good
What’s wrong with 2mm ?!?
Hi there,
I used 3mm pads for the front, but it was throttling from the start. I ordered 2mm pads and will be replacing them next week. Hopefully it works! Card doesn't not want to operate correctly with the 3mm on the front side.
Yes, that is possible, i was trying the same, and my card also dont want to work with 3mm pads, when I replace them with 2mm, there is no problem, and results are here
I have a friend that facing the same problem, thanks for the info!
Dropped my memory temps about 20 degrees 👍
Amazing results👍

@Awhoo Thunder its illegal to put warranty stickers on gpus. u can either sue them or hand it other way.
@Awhoo Thunder If doint ruin the screws and store the old pads, no one would know.
Smart man simply puts white thermal pads back on it if you need to rma and deny any such changes.
This worked amazingly well. I was pinning 110 VRAM temps before and only getting about 68 hashrate. After this VRAM is 86 and hashrate is 99! When I first booted it up temps were so cool I thought something was wrong. Unbelievable that Nvidia would botch this simple cooling solution.
You should mention that this will void your warranty. Only company I know of that it wont is EVGA.
I heard that this does not void the warranty
My Gigabyte rtx 3080 GeForce gaming gaming oc ref 2.0 LHR has thermal pads on the backplate added, but only partly on the memory ram. It's impossible to take off now because those thermal pads stick to the backplate and I don't want to use crazy force. Glad mine didn't leak when I opened it. In the proces now of applying new ones on just the front of the gpu. My temperatures were pretty good but curious if I make it even better or worse. Interesting to see version 1.0 used different thermal pads than mine.
thanks for this
You are welcome
I should really do this. But man having a warranty is nice too. My country has no "right to repair" law (yet) and the Manufacturer (Zotac) says removing the heatsink will void the warranty.
Good but you should be pasting the pads on the memory modules instead of the heatsink. That way you will never MISS the ram modules if you didnt position them properly.
You have drawn in copper on heatsink place where to put them
So it is better and easier
I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not. But... when searching to buy the thermal pad it comes in different sizes, how much of this do you need to complete this?
If you buy 2x 100x100 package you will have enough, and no worries😄
@@KrunoEti thank you!
How much thermal conductivity of pads you have used
Thanks, dude) next time u will do it again, u better use thinner pads (not on mem, 2mm is ok). The thinner pads - quicker heat exchange. And I searching exact thikness of all pads in Dat card, I don't have yet, but I want to be ready =) good luck
What thicknesses did you get ?
3mm is the best thermal pads use Gelit brand
3mm on the backplate, 2mm directly on memory and 1mm on all the other components. Changing thermal pads from VRAM alone for some high quality ones is enough to bring down temps by around 20 C.
Ty. Mine was doing 78mh out of box, ridiculous compared to my other Zotac which goes 99mh.
I’m assuming rubbing alcohol is used to clean the GPU right? Also great vid, thx
Jep
You kind of skipped over the part of removing the fan cables. They aren't that easy I I broke one of them.
Thanks for the amazing video, is 1 square pad enough for the whole application?
Better order two of them, if you make mistake you will do it 2x same job..
@@KrunoEti Thanks for the reply. I have a question since I'm new to this: - I see you used 2mm pads in the video, is it both the same for front and back?
Thanks for this helpful video. Can you please specify witch thicknesses of the thermal pads did you used?
2mm on all
1mm&2mm, not all 2mm
Hi there!! Any video about Gigabyte RTX 3080 ti thermal pad replacement? Thanks a lot
Careful not all of those cheap blue pads are the same. Surprised those were so much better than stock.
great video. How did you come to those oc values ? (-202/+1261) they seem very accurate. Just a lot of testing ?
Yep, seat and testing for hours, to get best results
4:50 - dude thanks i was like, how does he know where to put thoes backpads lol... i'm surprised back pads aren't 2.5 though.
I just watched other videos and it seems like most people are using 3mm on the backplate?
@@nevous8 you gotta get gelid 3mm pads. They squeeze down easily and don't bend the backplate like any of the others.
My Issue is that the card supposedly has a 4 year warranty. Won't this void the warranty and if it did fail wouldn't you send it in to get replaced anyways? Also do you recommend this for a hobbyist mining setup pc running 2 cards? Great video.
Every of them has thermal throttling, this is only way to resolve that problem.
You will lost warranty i dont get it so price gpu's and cheap termal pads
I don't understand, I've been working for 2 years and the temperature is 70 degrees, everything is native
Thanx for the great video. Do I need 1 or 2 packs of the EC360 Blue Thermal Pads to get all finished? Thanks
What size are this pads, I use one package of 100x100 mm
Enough for front and back? Didn’t look like that’s enough. I have 100 x 100 too. I ordered some more, but if you say you just used 1 of them I will not wait for them to arrive
For me it was enough, but if you made mistake it is always good to have some more spare pads, I ordered all sizes and I dont care about, thats best way
thanks for showing! why not also put pads on the backside of the GPU I wonder
there is no pads by factory, but if you put it it will be great
Will this void warranty?
36C core temp > 88C Ram = cheap blue termal pads . Mine is on 82C on Ram with 56C core = 12W/mk pads ;-) and btw. mem pads on Gigabyte 3080 - gpu side is 2.5mm not 2.0mm nowdays from factory. Early model like your had 2.0mm and was a disaster, laters Gb 3080 even have pads from plate side by default.
Yo congrats for the video! How did you unpluged the cable conectors from gpu? They are really hard to remove.
What cables? From fans or?
@@KrunoEti yes from fans
yes it is a little tricky to unpin them, and it is really easy to broke them, so I newer unplug them I dont want to risk, so you can replace pads without unplug them like in video
I'm wondering if the 2mm were slightly too thick, and 1.5mm might be
better. I dropped from 100-105 to 82-84 on the memory junction, but my
hot spot temp still gets up to 88c. I'm wondering if there's not enough
pressure (73c max GPU temp btw).
I have around a 15 degree delta after changing the pads too so I’m wondering the same. I may drop down a half mm and see.
@@NorthsideChamps16 it should be 1.5 mm instead of 2 mm right? We will use pad with 1mm, 1.5mm for frontside and 2mm for backplate

I think Gigabyte started doing this, putting thermal pads on the back and stopped using the oily pads! I just got my 3080 12gb Gaming OC 2 days ago. When I was checking it out, I noticed that the thermal pads on the VRAM are dark grey, not white / really light gray like in all of the videos. I can see them through the side of the card. I can also see thermal pads on the back of the card, all the videos show none stock but they are there now! My card is brand new, still has warranty sticker on screw and has never been taken apart. My temps top out at 75c Core, 84c Memory, 84.2c hot spot. That's overclocked +175, my max stable. +180 crashes TimeSpy. Weren't the memory temps a lot higher on these cards originally?
Yes, originaly temps are much higher, way above 100c, and thermal throttling, so if they decide to change that crapy pads thats good news😁
@@KrunoEti I really think they did. I noticed the dark grey thermal pads right away because I had watched soo many TH-cam videos on the card before I bought it LOL. Then I peeked down the back of the card and I could see thermal pads on the back too. My backplate gets hot AF lol. Every disassemble video I've seen there isn't any on the back. Most of these videos are also a year old though... I did notice my card says Revision 1.0 on the box. They all say that?
as I said thats great. cuz gigabyte is great card beside crapy pads, so thumbs up for that
my gpu did explode, seems my termal pads were to thick and cooler didnt touch enought the gpu die, i turned in on it beep screen turns green, than boom cracking sound, opened gpu and i saw a big crack in the middle of the chip :X
hard to believe, it has overheating protection, if GPU is too hot it would just downclock and throttle, when I changed my pads I had similar problem, pads were too thick and GPU was 70+ C while mining (it's still normal for gaming, it's ok up to 80 or even 90C). I squeezed pads, made them thinner and added more thermal paste on GPU and fixed it, now my GPU is 48C while mining, -500 on GPU, 55 PL
So front 2mm can back plate use 3mm? I have a colourful igame ultra
wondering how big of a thermal pad(LxW)it required to be able to cut all the pieces you needed.
Buy 2x 100x100mm and you will have more than enough and reserve for other cards
thanks for showing the before and after. I thought gigabyte's cooler design was shit but nope, it's the pads on this one too.
Yep, the pads are shitty, and when you change it it is best card
Would it void warranty by doing this? I'm living USA~ Thanks! My Aorus 3080 waterforce went to 112 degree when mining, it is unacceptable.
Hi, did you use unbranded pads or the Thermalright ODYSSEY?
Thermalright odyssey
Very good video.Tnx for you :)
Thanks!😉
Awesome video. I did the blue pads from Amazon and did exactly what u did. Turn on the card and ran core -200 and mem clock at 1200+ at 62 power. Gett 97MH/s but temp is running up from 90c to 100c afte 10 minutes. The back plate is so hot now and making the card really hot. Is that good? Is your or anyone’s backplate super hot now? Is my thermal pads the cheap one or something?
I also used the cheap blue ones from Amazon they worked well with 100MH/s. After 1 month, the pads started to leak oil and thermal throttling again set in the hash rate dropped to 86MH/s. So I replaced them with GELID 2mm gelid solutions GP Ultimate pads, the best there are. Now everything is stable on 100MH/s.
You need some good tweezers to remove those pads : The Verge
No, you can easy remove them, they are not sticked
