Thermal pad

[Superlp12]

I have ordered the alpha cool gpu block for the ASUS TUF 5090. Do you have the specification of the thermal pads that come with it? Thinking of upgrading the stock thermal pad to something better. What would you recommend from the Alphaccool? Thanks

I would advise against using other thermal pads. We put 7W/mk Ultra Soft pads on the graphics cards. These are extremely soft pads. Higher W/mk values do not always mean better. This is a common misconception. The resistance of the pads is just as important, it has to match the product or application. Otherwise you spend a lot of money for less performance.

Thanks for the information. I think I will stick to using the stock thermal pad !.Cheers
