Did mine yesterday. One of my memory modules was missing a thermal pad COMPLETELY. It was very clear by the difference of wear on the module that it was never there. Don't think that the factory is perfect. Sometimes you gotta do it yourself.
Did you suspect they were bad? Or just the stock stuff isn't good enough? I have a regular 5700 with the XT BIOS that unlocks the frequencies to what the XT runs... So I really should do this myself!
hello, what is the thickness of the thermal pads? i use 2mm but some generic pads and in mining i get 96° is too much, and 75 ° with an old cooler master paste, i bough an mx5 today arrives in 2 days
The thickness is 1mm,some coolers the 1mm will be too thick so you squeeze it to make it like 0.75,i got new pads and tem went down from 94 to 72 amazing drop tbh
He showed the thermal paste quite clearly (Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut). and if you looked you would see he used 2.0mm gp-extreme thermal pads ( any good 2mm thermal pads will do the job the same or better).
i did it and i got instant 110c on gpu core. I then opened it back up and squished the thermal pads to make them smaller in thickness and that solved my problem but also made my mem junction go up.
@@YourBassNeeds yeah same happened to me after that. I used 0.5mm washers to increase pressure to a certain extent. That solved the issue pretty much but not completely :D
i used 2mm thick pads grizzly and a kryonaut for de chip. i have watercooling. gpu temp dont go above 45 celcius. but the hot spot/junction reaches 114 celcius. does anyone why this happens. im thinking to replace the pads with 1mm. got a red devil 5700xt powercolor
I noticed you added a strip of thermal pad to an area that didn't even have it prior. (2:35 you remove the tape on this section). Are you sure this is correct? anyone else verify this? I just replaced mine and am actually getting a green screen and worse performance. About to re-try.
@@g0at3 thats good to hear but you must have a hotspot temp all the 5000 series gpus had. It can be called junction temp sometimes. If you use Hwinfo or go to your adrenalin driver sensors you can see it. These gpus dont make decisions with normal gpu temp. Cause its a average temp. Hotspot is the hottest spot on the die itself and has a maximum of 110C limit. If one of the sensors on the die hits 110 gpu will start throttle immediately.
@@AnxStudios you are right I read that wrong. My hotspot is 19 deg cooler than the memory junction. Running at 70 right now. I realized I just don't ever look at the hotspot because mining kills the memory temps long before the core temps.
Hi, i changed the pads and thermal paste too (minus 8 pads, and kryonaut paste), but temps are not that good for me, even with undervolt, my hotspot temps are hiting 102C, any idea why ?
add 0,5mm plastic washers under the screws and slowly tighten each of them half turn, repeat this passage until they're firm. This is the only way to have a perfect mounting pressure on msi 5700xt mech, now junction temps are always under 90° and core max 76° with 100mv undervolt. No more clock bouncing and stutters.
my rx 470 gigabyte G1 in games runed at 78 degrees, after I changed termal pads temperature jumped on 88 degrees? Any opinion why? btw I used 1 mm thicknes and Thermal Conductivity: 1.2W~2.0W
@@TADKAGAMERSfor 2 memory modules on top use 1.5 mm. and For the right - left modules use 2 mm. use 2 mm plastic washers for the back screws to make more pressure on the core. ( i have mech 5700xt oc)

Excellent review.... Thank you bro
sir can i have the thermal pads sizes you used? also will.it be the same with 5600xt mech
Are the pad sizes the same for strix? Also what brand pads and paste I couldn't quite see
Which tool did you use to pick up the paste residue?
Hello sir we have the same brand of gpu but mine is msi rx 5600xt mech oc what thermal thickness should i get if want to replace mine?
Can i drop my hotspot temp with just changing the thermal paste? Its constant 110 like yours. Also did you use washers?
Try usinh grizzly thermal paste... and i did not use washers ^_^

Same situation. But temps are to high. I think thermal pads seem to be the solution
MSI sent these cards out with a poor thermal pad design. Look for the Gamers Nexus initial review last year
Is the washer mod worth doing?

Hello sir. Did your core junction temp rised after doing this? I heard there could be contact problems between gpu core and heatsink after doing this.
i did it and i got instant 110c on gpu core. I then opened it back up and squished the thermal pads to make them smaller in thickness and that solved my problem but also made my mem junction go up.

I removed that extra strip and it solved the issue. you can clearly see at 21 seconds (video) that there was only 1 strip and not 2 strips.

why would you use hardware monitor at the start then riva tuner at the end ? riva tuner doesn't even show all the data we need

does this void warranty?
Yes
Well if you can clean the screw sticker out and stick new one in its place then no but the chances are slim
On Gigabyte and EVGA no warrantly losing, but others yes.
right to repair in usa so no the warranty shall not be voided
it too hot because of plastic backplate
Like for Tarkov.
VRAM:
top 2: 1.2cm×1.3cm×1.5mm
sides 6: 1.2cm×1.3cm×2mm
PCU heatsenk:
under: 1.5mm (under the heatsenk there is markers for the thermal pad)
top: 2mm
Exactly. This is the answer!!
