Hi everyone I need some help with my gigabyte RX 7900XT.
The fans are quite noisy probably due to too high temperatures in full load.

Many have improved the situation by replacing the thermal pads and the thermal paste, which they found already completely dry on a new GPU.

Someone recommended PtM 7950 for the core, and then I wouldn't know how to replace the thermal pads. Can anyone give me any advice regarding the brand and thickness to take?

Go get some metric gap gauges and find the gap then add like 0.25-1.0mm for pressfit
