Post this separately so it's not part of a solved thread. I'm seeing quite high junction temperatures on my 3080 FTW3 with the Aurora, around 100°C under full load with 22°C water temperature and 36°C core temp. I am looking at disassembling my card and reapplying, but want to be ready to replace the memory pads if they get damaged in the process. Would the Alphacool Eisschicht Ultra Soft thermal pad 3W / mk 100x100x1mm be the equivalent to the whitish 1mm pads that are included with the block?
If I replaced them with the 11W/mk thermal pads (pn 12456) would 1mm still be the appropriate thickness for that location? I haven't taken it apart to see the compression on the existing pads yet. Thanks
