So, I purchased four different sized pads (0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, & 2.0mm). A couple of my pads melted and another was brittle and just tore apart, but I just replaced all of the pads.Every pad beside one was 1.0mm while the other was 1.5mm.My card now runs 3-5 degrees cooler.
Hi,I built a new PC and just transferred my Dell GTX 1080 to my new 12th gen rig. I used to have an Alienware Area 51 R2 PC. I was just wondering if anyone has the same graphics card who knows what thickness the thermal pads are for the Dell GTX 1080? It's 5+ years old and I need to replace the thermal paste and possibly the thermal pads, so I need some on hand just in case. Thanks!
