Review on Thermalright Thermal Pad 12 Computer Components for Internal Components by Paul Bijeaux

These pads work great when they match perfectly. I swapped out the stock junk pads (which deteriorated over time) on my Rtx 3080 Aorus Xtreme because even at +0 memory clock the card reached a memory junction temperature of 110C, which is ridiculous! Double stack up to 2mm for memory chips because I wasn't sure what I needed so I got 1mm pads. After replacing all the pads on the card and adding some on the backplate, the card now runs on 72c-74c memory on a cold night and high 70s during the day. mass improvement. Keep in mind that these pads don't compress very well, so you need to know exactly how fat you're getting. After swapping the pads and reattaching the heatsink to the board, I recommend taking the card apart again to check the printing on the pads and thermal paste for proper contact. Improper contact will certainly raise the temperature. In general very satisfied.
