Hey folks

Time has come to strip down and clean my card, new paste is on order but of course new thermal pads. What are the recommended pads these days to use? Also does anyone know the thickness of the pads for the 6900xt Liquid devil, to avoid me having to strip the rig down and measure then wait for an order to come in days later?

Thanks, I will, Although I did find the block alone which is sold by EKWB standalone for the Red Devil uses 1.5 and 1.65mm pads. so I hoping its that but will reach out to both Powercolor and EKWB

Hey all. Adding this for anyone searching in the future. This is the measurements for all EKWB Powercolor 6800/6900 blocks but please check for your specific card. This is at least the diagram provided by EKWB for 6900 Liquid Devil

Hi man! Decided to repaste and change pads on my Liquid Devil, wanted to ask you a question, did u use the 0.5mm / 1mm thick thermal pads according to measurements on the picture above?

Asking just to be sure, cuz i had a bad experience with 1mm pads on all needed components following by the other 6900xt Red Devil EK block manual, the pcb "jumped" off the waterblock, as i found out later, the 1mm pads on the vrm were too thick and caused some big pressure on the pcb.

Im presuming those dimensions are only the gap or do they compensate for pressfit as well?
