Review on 🔥 Thermalright Thermal Pad 12.8 W/mK, 120x120x0.5mm | Non-Conductive Silicone, High-Temp Resistance | Laptop Heatsink, GPU, CPU, LED Cooler (0.5mm) by Eric Salem

I had trouble running RTX 3080 MSI Ventus x3 cards for long periods of time. Oil was leaking from the OEM pads and the video memory was overheating (>100 C). After replacing the thermal pads on the card, the temperature on each card dropped to 70 degrees and they stopped padding. The cards required 2.0mm and 2.5mm for the heatsink side of the card, using 2.0mm for VRAM and 2.5mm for VRM and capacitors. Thicker pads were used on the back (with butt pad), but they were much softer, I didn't change them. Note that I applied some thermal paste to both sides of the thermal pads to improve cooling performance. I highly recommend these pads.
