yo Kruno, u did a great video again! I replaced the pads and thermal paste from my eagle 3080 ti watching your 3080 replacement video. Its impressive these expansive cards have so poor pads and in this particular asus strix does not have a coper heatsink.
Thanks for nice comment! That true, for that amount of money they dont have coper and thermal pads are one of worst. Only on Evga I see pads that doing good job for long time :/
tbh, the pads are the least issue..not necessary to change them at all. the impact is the thermal paste. For some reason, basically all manufacturers are shipping their products with the worst paste ever. My msi ntb with 3080, i just changed paste on gpu and cpu and immediately gained 10% of performance
@@KrunoEti yea, kind of…with a new card, not necessary, nothing wrong with the new pads that are there..considering that Asus has pretty good stock thermals. I would just change the paste and wait with pads for a second round
Two questions if you see this: 1) Does opening up a GPU to apply new thermal pads and paste void warranty? 2) How easy is for someone who has never disassembled a GPU before like this? My card caps out at 83c which isn't terrible but I feel like maybe some newer thermal pads/paste after two years would do some good for the temps.
@@KrunoEti I know I'm super late to reply but I actually moved the location of my PC and the airflow alone helped, temps haven't touched above 72c since the move. Might still replace thermal pads and apply new paste since I got this card in Oct. 2019, I'm assuming there's still room for improvement on temps even if it's only minor. Edit: Also forgot to mention that at times my temps were actually hitting 88-93c since my computer was barely above the floor, situated between my desk and bed (which was the cause for such insanely poor airflow, absolute dumb mistake on my part for being lazy).
Thanks for the video! I am about to start working on replacing the thermal pads on various Geforce RTX 3090 of different brands: MSI, Asus, Palit, Gigabyte... I would like to make sure that the thickness of the pads will be right for those cards, considering that they come from different brands. I read online that (1,5mm) is good enough for both sides of the cards. What do you recommend? Thank you!
Hello! I am going to repaste and thermal pads my strix 3090. This is my first time doing this. What size screwdriver did you use? Also how do you know the exact shapes to cut the thermal pads? Thank you
Greate video…I has the same GPU so when you cleaning the gpu did used only warm water??? Or accoho mix with water ??how often has to replacement the thermo space?? My secong question is why those fan they won’t stop pin??? Even I am not gaming liked my old Rtx 3060 they stop pin the fan when is not gaming,, did you known how to turn to auto fan ??
Awesome video! One question I had was what size pads for the front side of the cooler? You showed the exact size and location for the backplate, but then you didnt do the same for the cooler side. Let me know, thanks! Great content!
@@sangyuenlim2504 just buy 1 large 2mm pad and 1 large 1.5 pad it will be enough for the gpu and you will have so much more left to replace again the future
Hi, great video I have a doubt about the pads on the front side I get that the ones around the processor are 2mm and the ones on the side are 1.5mm but what about that middle one, the one between the processor and the right side. That counts as side or around the processor? I fell the stock one more thicker than 1.5mm Thank you so much.
Hello i know this video is quite old but do you possibly know if it is possible to take of the led's on the front of the gpu, possibly in the form of a strip or pcb in order to replace it with another? I bought a used card and was hoping i could open it up and replace the discolored led's.
great video, i think of repaste my rtx strix 3090 too, but looking at the temp.... i run mine under full load with stable diffusion at 71C max,..... i wonder how it comes to 88C deg for you now. i have a y60 case.... not the best airflow but working. so 70C seems fine to me.
@@KrunoEti Thankyou for the update :) , followed ur exact method but with Gelid Extreme pads and got similar resuts on the same card , thankyou again for the tutorial , first time doin this and your tutorial helped a lot (after repad i never surpassed 92° on memory with 75% fans ) its been 3months
the screws on the die's mounting spring mechanism are smaller than the rest and the screwdriver is not small enough for them. Couldn't unscrew them with the suggested screwdriver.
you just scratched the surface on the cooler with the plastic spoon ... >.< PLZ NEVER DO THIS! Also, see where the pads need to go ON THE BOARD, then put the new pads on the components on the board, not the cooler! Then you for sure know they cover 110%
Just swapped the pads for my Strix, got them on AliExpress. Thanks once again for the video !
Good luck, and wish you great results 😉
How were your results?
@@Multimeter1 he must be gaming still, he hasn't replied 😆
Epic video, thanks. Can't find decently priced pads here in Switzerland. Buying a pack of 1mm and 2mm would be 80USD... Crazy
The prices are lower on ebay, you have some links in description
VPN in out of Romania and then you'll get better prices
I used 2mm on the front but i believe some pads are thicker. Can you check if you have contact on all the front components?
hello, what are the screwdriver bits you used?

But if you opening your card, you will not just change the paste, do it all and you are safe and clear ob that side
@@KrunoEti yea, kind of…with a new card, not necessary, nothing wrong with the new pads that are there..considering that Asus has pretty good stock thermals.
I would just change the paste and wait with pads for a second round
@@johny5400 dont know yours, but mine was disaster and high temperatures, so i change it, beter to do it in one shot, than opening again after year
Why didn't you put a thin strip at the backplate end? You put two little pieces one on top and one on the bottom 345-347 wheres hole middle section
Two questions if you see this:
1) Does opening up a GPU to apply new thermal pads and paste void warranty?
2) How easy is for someone who has never disassembled a GPU before like this? My card caps out at 83c which isn't terrible but I feel like maybe some newer thermal pads/paste after two years would do some good for the temps.
1) lose warranty
2) easy
83c? Dont do nothing

Thats great temps so far, no need to touch it nothing
You specified size of thermal pads on the backplate.. What's the sizes mm on the inside
You have it all in video
@@KrunoEti I have the same doubts. I can see in the description you used 1.5 and 2, but from the video I can't figure out which one goes where.
@@HeinekenLasse 2mm & 1,5mm on front (2mm around processor, 1,5mm on sides)
Backside: 2mm & 1mm
@@KrunoEti good video man we just asking these questions cause I wanna do the job right the first time especially since a 3090 costs arm and a leg
No problem man, you have also sizes in description 😉
Epic video, my videocard is now running at 100C and burning my house down soon.
Change thermal pads and paste
Would it be harmful to apply the pads straight to the memory (for precision) vs doing it on the backplate and cooler
whatewer you want, but it is important that sits perfectly and no place between cooler and memmory, so you can get best results
Thanks for the video! I am about to start working on replacing the thermal pads on various Geforce RTX 3090 of different brands: MSI, Asus, Palit, Gigabyte...

Thank you!
Best way is to open and measure them, mine pads for this model is mentioned in video, 2mm, 1,5mm and 1mm, replaced like that and results are great
Hello! I am going to repaste and thermal pads my strix 3090. This is my first time doing this. What size screwdriver did you use? Also how do you know the exact shapes to cut the thermal pads? Thank you
Normal cross screwdriver is ok, and best way to know exact shapes and sizes is to open the card, and before that have prepared thermal pads
Great job and very nice detailed video but for gaming for like 1 to 3 hours is this worth changing pads and thermal?
Probably not, if you dont mind about temps, or loosing some fps
Great! Also advise how much temp drops after this operation? I.e. normal temp on my 3090 is 60-69C
Greate video…I has the same GPU so when you cleaning the gpu did used only warm water??? Or accoho mix with water ??how often has to replacement the thermo space??

Thanks!
Use some accoho to clean, and for auto fan use afterburner
Are the strix 3000 series gpu using the same heatsink?
That's big brain time to have a drawing and place the screw there!!!
Can you do liquid metal instead of thermal paste?
Probably, but why complicated? When you repad it you are good for liftime
Awesome video! One question I had was what size pads for the front side of the cooler? You showed the exact size and location for the backplate, but then you didnt do the same for the cooler side. Let me know, thanks! Great content!

@@KrunoEti hi need how many 2.0 snf 1.5 pad using 1 gpu？
@@sangyuenlim2504 just buy 1 large 2mm pad and 1 large 1.5 pad it will be enough for the gpu and you will have so much more left to replace again the future
i also use strix 3090, upgrade pad to gelid extreme but it only drop 5c. now at 102c. Is gelid extreme not good or im doing it wrong?
What wmk are they?
@@KrunoEti 15 w/mk
correction.. gelid ultimate.
Hi great video, so i only buy 1 back from each pad im buying the ones in the video or do i need more for the 2mm? again thanks alot .
One from each would be enough

That counts as side or around the processor?
I fell the stock one more thicker than 1.5mm
Thank you so much.
When you put it and squeze them they will be thicker
@@KrunoEti so what size did you use on that one?
Hello i know this video is quite old but do you possibly know if it is possible to take of the led's on the front of the gpu, possibly in the form of a strip or pcb in order to replace it with another? I bought a used card and was hoping i could open it up and replace the discolored led's.
You can, what do you want? Turn it off completley or they are broken and you want replace?
@@KrunoEti Hi yes I was hoping to replace the rgb
Great video man!
Thanks alot!
What software are you using to test GPU temperatures?
You have link down in description
How much each size to buy to replace all thermal pads on strix 3090? Thanks a lot
100x100mm from each size will be fine, always better to got more than open card and you dont have enough
I have a white asus strix rtx 3080... can I use the same thicknesses of thermal pads as shown in the video?
If it is same card yes, but best way is to open and see what is inside :)
Hi, I have 12 of these gpu, how many packages of pads do I need to replace all of them? Thanks
One package from each size
Qual espessura das almofadas da parte de Frente ?
Front are 2mm & 1,5mm
Can you upload a photo of your mosfet and VRM are actually making full contact or a gap? Think there is a gap
It must be contact, if dont temps are crazy and start trottling

Thank You man!
Are we talking of Vram temps or processor temps?
@@KrunoEti good question, ... i mean the GPU Temp nvidia-smi reports on my Linux console... must a a cumulative value for GPU-Ram and GPU-Proc et all.
Thats what said that is probably processor, but rams are way too higher
Here is the small and usefull program and you can check it your ram temps:
th-cam.com/video/07KmBpZvk6k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4oiS2VeU0wtnmi6I
HmM gonna put mine in a waterblock will be some work for sure just afraid I wont get contact which can cause some dmg in long run!
How many packets of 1,5mm 1mm and 2mm thermal pads do i need?
1 of each is enough
if backplate is plastic, what's the sense of changing pads on back side?
It is not plastic
@@KrunoEti is white backplate metal?
I think it is some kind of aluminium that looks like plastic, cheap aluminium, and its not sound like plastic when you knock on :/
@@KrunoEti it sounds nice and I hope that it's true ))
The contact release in the pads is more easy if the card still hot... 🍺
Tnx for tip, but not everyone have oportunity to warm them
Where can I find someone to mod my card for me?
Update on temps ? still good soo far ? :)
Yeap, temps are great and no decrease jet
@@KrunoEti Thankyou for the update :) , followed ur exact method but with Gelid Extreme pads and got similar resuts on the same card , thankyou again for the tutorial , first time doin this and your tutorial helped a lot (after repad i never surpassed 92° on memory with 75% fans ) its been 3months
Yeap, thats good, it will not change so fast if this thermal pads are quality. Thanks on nice words!
Typical Asus, the backplate which is supposed to dissipate the heat from the memory is made of plastic. No wonder it runs so hot.
Yeep, true!
try copper mod, will drop another 20c on it
It is more complicated... no need to, these are also great temps results
the screws on the die's mounting spring mechanism are smaller than the rest and the screwdriver is not small enough for them. Couldn't unscrew them with the suggested screwdriver.
Great! Please anyone advise how much temp drops after this operation? I.e. normal temp on my Asus Rog 3090 is 60-69C playing 2-3 hours..
Is that core temperature or memory?
@@KrunoEti I think its core..
@@KrunoEtiits the Geforce app that shows the GPU temp..
Thats ok for core, but how much is memory?
@@KrunoEti it doesn't shows memory.. how can I check?
thickness of pad @4:20 ?
If it is inside one it is 1mm, from booth side, outside one is 2mm
These card is like radiator, imposible and never cool down, Im avoid them
you just scratched the surface on the cooler with the plastic spoon ... >.<
PLZ NEVER DO THIS!
Also, see where the pads need to go ON THE BOARD, then put the new pads on the components on the board, not the cooler!
Then you for sure know they cover 110%
It is not made from sugar, dont worrie too much
