Hey,
A bit of thermal throttling on my RTX 2080Ti happened after the installation of the eiswolf2, I'm doing some investigations.
After a week of usage I discovered 2 things :
1)Alphacool indicates that you have to tighten a bit more the screws 24hrs after installation (thank you guys for this kind of tips )
Thing is : I had to really really, I mean really going strong on the screws to have the gpu going below 80°.
This sorted out, I was enjoying 65° with fans at 60% speed, 54° at max speed
2) Despite good GPU temperatures, GDDR still going going up to 90°, screws are at max.
After 96° system crashes and the card goes into safe mode.
(Waiting for Gelid pads (15W/mK) to arrive and check if it makes any differences.)
Question here :
As you can see on the pictures,
@Aphacool : Aren't there supposed to by any pads for VRMs ?
If it is, what thickness do you recommand for which components ?
(Yes I removed the pads protections before applying to the waterblock )

As you can see on the pictures,
- On stock cooler there are pads covering every VRMs and mosfets
- On Eiswolf2 waterblocks thermal pads are provided for some VRMs but not all
