Hi!
I have Gelid Ultimate thermal pads in the right sizes that I would like to replace the stock ones with. Will they suit me? In appearance, they look like a little thinner and denser.
And the second question:
"Alphacool is using 2.0mm thick thermal pads for the backside VRAM on the PCB and it is simply not working as we need 3.0mm thick thermal pads. The obvious reason for that the other thermal pads which Alphacool has provided for the backplate are 3.0mm thick so the backplate is simply not making tight enough contact with the VRAM pads. Something that Alphacool needs to take care of"
Do I need to replace the thermal pads with 3mm ones? I have FTW3 3080 10GB
