Gelid Solutions GP-Extreme 12W-Thermal Pad 120x120 Excellent Heat Conduction, Ideal Gap Filler. Easy Installation (120x120x2.0)

Just opened these out of the pack and the plastic covering the thermal pad has been altered, and there are scratches and folds all along the thermal pad. I thought this was supposed to be brand new but looks like you get used pads.

Après un premier échec de repad avec une autre marque recommandée par CryptoAtHome (Youtube), en 1,5mm côté GPU et idem côté backplate, j’obtenais 110 degrés sur la VRAM en minage…J’ai donc suivi les conseils sur les forums et suis passé sur la Gelid Extreme, en 1,5mm côté GPU et 2mm côté backplate. Les 2mm sont en effet « trop épais » mais leur souplesse permet de les écraser au moment du revissage et ça passe sans problème.Résultat, gain de 12 degrés ! Je mine désormais à fond et en OC à 98 degrés sur la VRAM.Vraiment satisfait de ces pad !!!

## Update - after doing a bit of gaming and letting the card sit overnight it seems like the hot spot temperatures improved with the 1.5mm pads - so maybe a unmentioned trick is to be a bit patient and let them compress a bit for a day or two ##For 3090 FE memory modules and misc other components - maybe get 1.0mm as the 1.5mm in my case cause high temps on the GPU hotspot value and general poor gpu contact. I'm not sure if there is some newer revision of the heatsink or something but its bad enough to cause throttling.The places I've checked suggested to use 1.5mm on both sides but at least in my case its too thick or doesn't compress enough. On the other hand the memory module temperatures went down.

After I took apart my nvidia 3090 founders edition and replaced the thermal pads with these, the memory temps sit around 100°C on average. Going from mid 90° at night with a window open to high 100° during the day. Save your money and go with GPU raisers thermal pads instead.

Great quality!
