Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Enhance Cooling Performance with Computer-Systems K5 PRO Viscous Thermal Paste - Ideal for iPhone, Apple iMac, Sony PS4 & PS3, Xbox, Acer Aspire, and More! by James Jenkins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Did NOT help my Gigabyte 3090 OC mining performance. Buy Thermalright Odyssey Pads!

Unfortunately this paste that replaced the gaskets on my Gigabyte Gaming OC 3090 did nothing to reduce my memory temperature. They still hit 110C mining and thermal throttling, causing my hashrate to drop to 72-75 after a minute or two. I ended up using almost two whole tubes of stuff to replace all of the memory sticks front and back, so I didn't skimp on the gooey stuff. And I took my time spreading it out nice and even but thick enough to still touch. If I had to say that the original card blocks worked maybe even a little bit better, they took about 2 minutes instead of one to hit the heat. Border. The result was the same, but the original pads lasted a little longer. And I KNOW the tire makes good contact because in the end I decided to order the Thermalright Odyssey pads from Aliexpress and when I took them apart at the time you could see where the tire made proper contact with the memory manufactured. all memory. You can pick up the 120 x 120mm Odyssey pads for the same price as the smaller ones on Amazon if you're willing to wait and one pad is enough to save all the storage. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the headache of putting that guppa on and then taking it all apart and cleaning again. Just skip it for the 3090 and go for these pads. My memory STILL heats up with them, this card just has a bad cooler, but now it maxes out at 102C and it never stops! I get 105 hashes as it should. Don't try to save money mining with these cards! Perhaps there are options for using this tire, although this is a one stop solution for all, variable thickness padding is not required. And it works by staying thick, it's not runny or runny, it makes proper contact with a 2mm gap. But I suspect the advertised heat rating is 5.3 if I have to assume it's 1.2 closer to the regular blue pads.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
