I have not tested these, so I am not going to speculate one bit. However, going by the pads available by Grizzly, I can not see why anyone would want to pay such outrageous prices, especially for a 100x100x1mm pad. I just had a card in for repair which was killed by the wrong thermal pads. Made a video of it, its on my channel. Nothing to do with the size, but rather the quality and hardness. I get mine from AliExpress and they are good quality. I use them on a daily bases and never have disappointed. There is however, a lot of garbage on AliExpress too, so watch out! This is where I get mine in case you're wondering: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...order_list.order_list_main.194.122c1802jVH6vj

I am not sponsored by anyone to sell you anything so buy them from where you want. But these are the type. Hope this helps! Or you can pay that premium for thermal pads LOL.

Can any of those specialist answer?

Is not thermalputty the better approach? igorslab has those articles from time to time about that stuff which can be used instead.

igor forum claimed that some graphic card manufacturer will send you a digital picture of which pads should be used where on the graphic card. I would not be surprised when some guy did use the wrong ones.

I'm not a customer from roman. For some reason people buy his stuff. For some reason people like his videos. roman owns thermal grizzly and was or is an overclocker and also a youtuber. I do not bother much with his merchandise, products and videos and webpages.
