In 1 you can see i used 2mm pads that are better than 1mm that was originally there in pic 2 i have double side the 1mm that was given with the cooler that have better contact and in pic 3 you can see over roll the contacts they have i will send all those to support as well.... When you rebuilt the old cooler, did you check whether all the pads had sufficient contact (this can be seen clearly from the marks on the pads)?
Rechecked mine today and found it the same, took it a part and turned the bolts round so the nuts are on the opposite side.I found a flaw, the fastening screw is long and when you press the back panel, the textolite bends. I removed the fixing screw and everything became smooth.

Does the water block accurately contact the thermal pads?
In the end i don't know from whom I checked but i saw i zip tie and i just use one since I am using vertical riser stand ite perfect fine, also I'm still checking everything but I don't have any issues so far but is still believe that LR22 chips need the 2 mm pads those are the one I used I stock the 2 that was given with the cooler and I had one spare (blue one)
you mean the one that keep the bracket or the backplate itself ? if the backplate then normal till they are tight but not over do it so i don't DMG the screwsHow did you tighten the backplate screws?
Pic 3: does the the pad still have the protective plastic on?In 1 you can see i used 2mm pads that are better than 1mm that was originally there in pic 2 i have double side the 1mm that was given with the cooler that have better contact and in pic 3 you can see over roll the contacts they have i will send all those to support as well
thanks for the pictures. quick question, have you removed the foil from all the pads? You can see from the pictures that some pads have little to no contact. Please contact our support via email (info@alphacool.com) and send the pictures or link your article. You will quickly receive information on further procedures. Normally, our support will send out suitable pads to you.In 1 you can see i used 2mm pads that are better than 1mm that was originally there in pic 2 i have double side the 1mm that was given with the cooler that have better contact and in pic 3 you can see over roll the contacts they have i will send all those to support as well

Shouldn't it be 3mm at back for 3080? Since the 3090 has memory on back so 2mm is the right thickness for the backplate on 3090. No memory on back of 3080 should be using 3mm??Hi! I got the block for my Phantom 3080 gs. Customs took 580 NOK at the post office in Norway. Approx. 58 euros. That being said, I am amazed at the quality and well illustrated instructions - really pleased! Also, i followed the thermal pads for the 3080. 1 mm at the front, 2 mm on the back, except the 3 mm in the middle around the core. That worked flawlessly. I am at 70 degrees on memory under full load. Previously 96. Core stays frosty, idling at 30!
I used the bolt and screw upside-down tip mentioned here, and i got no bend in the pcb with that technique. The mounting bracket did only fit on one side, so that kept falling off since the screwhole was like a half circle, but i managed to get it in place in the end, and im very happy i bought this!
I'm using a phat old 240 rad at the top, and a thin barrow 360 in the front. Useless cheap rgb fans atm too.
No memory, just in the middle on the die on the back like illustrated in the manual.Shouldn't it be 3mm at back for 3080? Since the 3090 has memory on back so 2mm is the right thickness for the backplate on 3090. No memory on back of 3080 should be using 3mm??
Initially i also thought so. Double check your set. In one small plastic bag they were there .. just that those washers are comparable to screws size - very small .. and of clear transparent color, thus very easy to not notice within that transparent plastic bag, which on quick glance looked empty, especially if one assembles block at bad lighting at 2 a.m.also M2 washers was missing in the package, but I had some spare laying around.
Hmmm I think I saw that small plastic bag and thought it was empty....I’ll double check and edit the post if thats the caseInitially i also thought so. Double check your set.
