Thermal paste on vram and thermal pads ?
Hi everyone ; I have the inno 3d 3080 x4 and vram temps are 100°C or higher for 97mh/s . So I wanted to replace thermal pads with gelid ultimate 1mm 15w/K . The original pads are 0.8mm so the gelid will compress to that size i hope with tight mounting pressure ( using a plier or something with screwdriver ).
I read in a post for msi ventus 3080 about adding thermal paste on top of vram and putting pad over it and further another layer of thermal paste . https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/lue7vd/msi_3080_ventus_thermal_pad_replacement_mod_with/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
I wanted to ask if that is something I should do with my inno 3d 3080 ? Will it help and has anyone ever done this? I am using coolermaster mastergel maker 11w/k .
In theory, it should replace the air pockets b/w vram , pads and heatsink with thermal grease and provide better conduction .
My hesitation is that since the original pad thickness is 0.8mm , I am using 1mm so that will add add an extra layer of thickness and will be bad for core & ironically more layers are there for conduction ; so can increase vram temps.
Thanks.
