Hey Guys,
I have replaced the Thermalpads from my Gainward 3080 Phoenix.
VRAM 2 mm, and others 1mm, Backplate not changed.
Now the Mem Temp goes after some seconds direct to 106 Degrees, after that i stoped the miner directly.
I opened the Card again and checked the pads if the mem modules have contact to the Pads.
On all pads i see the contacts from the VRAM.
Don´t know how to fix. Maybe other size from Pads ? I use the Gelid Extreme.
Maybe someone can help.
Thx a lot.

Where do you check these? Can you check the thermalpad specs for my Asus RTX 3080 TUF as well? Few of them have seen better days so I might replace them..

Go get a gap/feeler gauge and measure, once you know the gap, add .25 or .5 mm to that for press fit
