I've a 3080 TUF Gaming as I said previously. I replaced all thermal pads:
I used GELID (12W/mk) for the 3mm and Thermalright (12.8 W/mK) for the others.
On my 3080 TUF backplate memory thermal pads are 3mm and core capacitors pad is 2mm.
Inner memory pads are ~1.5mm but I had to compress a 2mm to achieve that.
I doubt 3090 can be cooled passively properly. See some Alphacool competitors are water cooling the backplate too...
Hell no, that's a lie! They are not fine at 110°C, they start throttling at 100°C. They suffer degradation on time at those temps.
Alphacool did a really bad job at cooling VRAM. They used bad quality thermal pads plus wrong thickness.
I replaced all thermal pads (backplate too) with 12W/mk...
