One thing you can also do is to message EVGA support and they will send you the correct thickness pads as well!
Ohhh, that's really good to know. Have you done this since they shutdown their GPU department? I wonder if they still support these types of questions anymore.
@@JohnLCharette as of 2023 October they still do. I had to repaste my card due to ungodly temps and one of my thermal pads stretched during disassembly and the thickness was messed up. At the very least their support will give you the correct dimensions for the thermal pads of each model
That's incredible. I'm going to pin this comment so others know. Thanks for sharing!
This is helpful because I just bought a used 3080 ti and am debating redoing the thermal pads and paste but I'll see how Temps are first
Great video! I look forward to doing this to mine in the near future. Bring those temps down a bit!
Thank you very much! I'm glad it will help you. I know it helped my temps a lot. Please leave a comment once you've done the change with your temp changes.
so far so good with my evga 3080 non-ti card, mostly playing star citizen. SC is a bit tough on the system though, i'll be doing as you did soon enough. good vid.
3080 is an incredible card. It's still my favorite bang for your buck card. My video should be almost the same except a couple sell VRAM chips. Hope it helps :)
Did you end up doing it? I have a 3080 Ti and thinking of doing it. I am running into high temps as well.
Very helpful information
Good! I'm glad it helped. Are you considering doing this yourself or have you tried it? Let me know if it helped your thermals.
Just use the Kritical Pad set for 3080 FTW3... They are the best ones. Those thermalright ones don't last long...
Ha! Didn't know these existed. Thank you very much! I'll pin your comment so others know which to buy.
What thickness of pads are you using? Might I have a link to that? Please and thank you in advance!
@Stabby, if you're looking for the pads I used, there's an Amazon link in the video for the different sizes. If you buys the Kritical Pad set, all the sizes are included for you in the set.
Is it just for 3080 FTW3 versions? Or can it work for other 3080s? I have a Asus TUF OC 3080.
Might be a tad bit late, but each version of a same card can have different pad thicknesses depending on how asus, evga etc did their radiator@@fpshooterful best way is either you measure it as precise as possible when opening it, or scour the internet for info
Thanks for the good video guide! Have yours card memory temps been ok with the thermalright pads or is there need for replace them?
@Jari, I'm glad the guide helped! I sold this card shortly after recording this video. The new owner says it was working very well. Let me know your experience if you end up doing the modification.
Great video, and you were correct Ima water boi not air boi haha
Thank you. Your sharing is great
Hi. I have a question. Does the 3090 version of that card use the same size thermal pads?
I can't confirm in person, but I would guess that they aren't the same due to the 3090 having half of it's VRAM chips on the back of the board.
I wonder what the vram temps will be during a test like 3dmark speedway.
Ahh, too bad I don't have that card anymore or else I'd try it for you. I don't think Speedway existed when I changed the thermal pads on this card :(
Hello, good video. What were the thermald pads that you used, I mean the mm, thank you.
Thanks for watching! Check the description for full mm details and where I used them.
@@JohnLCharette thank you.
Great video!!
Thank you so much! Are you considering changing the thermal pads on your GPU?
@@JohnLCharette I just did with the kriticalpads for my 3080ti
Aha! I hear those pads are great. I didn't know about them when I replaced these or else I would have used them. Would you recommend using them again?
@John Charette I would recommend them easy to install and worked great! Going to order some for my 3090 now!
@@alexibrahim4076 what is the temperature of the core and memories after the exchange?
When you put the pads on the part that says LR22, say you use 1.5 mm pads, but the box is 2.5 mm. Which are you using?
Check the video description for thermal pads thicknesses. I honestly can't remember which I used.. it's been too long.
Hi John,can I have the picture that you showed at 17:37 ? I wanna measure how many thermal pads that i have to buy.
Thanks!
Here's where I found it: www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/pbjvtm/rtx_3080_ti_ftw3_ultra_thermal_pad_replacement/
is this similar to a 3090ti? the thermal pad thickness
Yikes, I don't think so. I can't remember, does the 3090 Ti also have VRAM modules on the back like the 3090? If so, it'll be very different. Someone recently told me that you can email EVGA support and they'll provide you with thermal pad thickness'. Try that out.
so let me get this straight , you put 2.50mm thermal pad on VRM instead of thermal putty?
Hey, sorry it's been too long. According to my video description I used 2.0mm on VRAM chips. I didn't have any thermal putty. Are you planning on changing your pads?
@@JohnLCharette thats correct my ftw3 is getting really high temps..
Yeah, I'd recommend switching out the pads. I was recently told that EVGA support will send you the thermal pads thicknesses as well, if you reach out to them.
@@JohnLCharette well in latin-america i was told by evga support that i don't need to replace them because the temps are in the good-threshold. (under 110c on vram).. i'm going to mod my GPU i will add 6 30x30x10 fans as extractors and add 1 fan on the back of the cpu chip.
Yeah, I've seen that done before, especially when people were mining a lot. I really helps cool the VRAM. Even though EVGA told you you don't need to replace them.. it might be worth it. What temps are you getting? Core vs VRAM?
So much camera quality and dental work but cant properly apply paste or pads. Congrats 🥴
Thanks for the compliment. That was the first time I had changed thermal pads.. help me out. What could I have done better? Do you have instructions somewhere or a video you recommend?
