Hello, I measured and found the following dimensions 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 2.0mm. I bought and installed it, but the thermal pads were low (small/thin), barely touching the memory and vrm. I stacked the thermo pads creating 1.5mm and 2.5mm and it was perfect. I'm currently using 1.5mm on vrm and capacitors, 1mm on two memory chips and 2.5mm on the other four chips (stacked)
I saw in other videos on RU-vid that use 3mm in the memories but I found it too exaggerated. I'll use the measurements you used but with 2.5mm and 1.0mm in the memories leaving 1.5mm in the vrm
@@victordecamargo5155 I used the same pads like the original of EVGA. Some cards aren't the same inside! Check this post facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FPcTechBuildGR%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0edSeTvb7A8VDJL7BKoVgvYz8s9jkJVUpk4cuxZyFMys4aQx8cYL8weJD7wM6Gbtdl
@@covidbryant6412 Use exacly the same with the original pads already installed. Sometimes it can be dangerous to change pads mm thickness. Less times if you change thickness make things better but you must be sure
@@BloodyShin Yes also on gaming. If your thermal pads touching chips you may meed 1mm pads but if they are not touching chips you may need 2mm. Also check all screws if they are on right place and if are tight correct. You board must be straight without curves
Hi, any plan on using aftermarket cooler? i got the same gpu but no idea what to get. so far i found iceflow 240 vga compatible with this card but not exactly sure.
@@pctechbuild40 makes sense, oh and one or two more question. Is it okay to stack 1.5 and 0.5 mills on the VRM or should i stick with single 1.5mm instead? also is it the same when i applied the pad per chip, whether it’s memory or vrm, or it’ll makes it run hotter when the pads is used in small piece? thank you edit: i happened to order 1.5 and 0.5 instead of 2mm bcs the difference in price point is huge
@@naufalalghifary The best way is to use exacly the same pads but if you need 2mm then use 1.5mm + 0.5mm . Thinner pads not recommended! Most of the times gpu us hotter and in some cases you can destroy the gpu
@@pctechbuild40 update, IDK why but when i followed the thickness as exact as in the video, my GPU-die wont touch the heatsink. so i used the old 2mm for the VRM, and 1.5mm on core, and 2x0.5mm stacked for the chips below the die, temp’s got better from 88ish to 78-80ish
Dude can i reuse the same thermal pads because im not sure im gonna be able to fit new ones with exact same measurements. I'll change the thermal paste tho
I think pads are 1.5mm thickness, check these 2 videos thermalpad.eu/thermal-pad-sizes/zotac-gaming-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-6gb/ and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r8gvBSSMMM4.html
@@pctechbuild40 oh okay thank you. I will try x3 1.5mm and x1 2mm, and see what happens, for the thermal paste I bought noctua nt-h2. I need to do this cause my gpu goes up to 87C like yours, with the fans at 100% and reduce mhz from 1920 to 1720.
@@pctechbuild40 did the job today I use x3 1.5mm thermal pads and one 3mm pad, good cleaning and aply thermal paste! results -8-10 degrees down not bad I guess.
