A pack of 2mm is all you need for a 3080 (but check your specific model). Not to be confused with Gelid Ultimate - yes, Ultimate has a higher thermal rating of 15 compared to 12 here, but these pads aren't as compressible: This results in lower VRAM temps, but higher core temps - sometimes too high, depending on the model ( e.g. FE maps). back plate) then you usually need 3mm and the brand for that might not matter much so you might want to go for something cheaper. But for the VRAM chips themselves - Gelid Extreme (not Ultimate) - what you need. And if it's not available, don't compromise! to wait for him.
