- Will this make a noticeable difference? I'll take a look at the new TP-3 thermal pads, and also show how you might go about doing this. Please note that if you open up your card many board partners will refuse warranty service simply based on that (whether this is legal is another discussion).

always super helpful! thank you for your time and the money you spend to help us out m8. awesome video
Would love to see a video comparing Kritical Pad sets. They are super convenient since you buy specific sets for your GPU. They have a really good thermal conductivity rating too. Would like to know if they are worth it or not. They save on the hassle of cutting pads, which is a huge plus.
Kritical pads has higher conductivity of 20 there’s no competition 😅
ruclips.net/video/nemQGC_ZMJg/видео.html not really i would avoid them, for the price arent special
Awesome video! Have you tried copper modding your graphics card?
Half of your content doesn't even apply to me but i like your style.
I mistakenly bought 0.5 TP3's when I should of bought 1mm or even 1.5's - will come back and comment when I have tested!
Thanks
Can you please tell the height of the thermal pads you used in all of the components? I have the same gpu but i don’t know how thick should they be. I am afraid to put too small or too thick.
hello, I have an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, I put gelid extreme 1mm in the VRam memory, without the fan curve on, the temperature reaches 82 degrees, with the curve on (zero fan off) it reaches 75 degrees, the temperature that the memories reach is normal or safe?
Which air cooler do u recommend for a high end processor like 5900x for case nr200p ? I might use tg panel instead of vented one but please recommend for both
Whats ur take on thermalright ss135 for 5900x in nr200p
Artics aio's are some of the best out there
I am waiting from my Thermal pads SubZero Seven GP-Ultimate 12.8w to be shipped to my place for my Gigabyte RX 5700XT since after cleaning the GPU the inside seeing the oily boards from stock pads somehow the backplate pads has 3cm if the Main front board VRAM was 0.5cm and the small black thing was 1mm was super dry and not sticky anymore.
IT IS IN FACT critical to get the right size. Too thick pads may cause you to run into an issue of core not having good contact with the heatsink. Too thin pads lead to poor contact between heatsinks and padded area.
Pads will deform, but their ability to deform varies. This ability to deform is defined by value of "Shore hardness", which has various tiers. Extra soft pads are of Shore 00, next tiers are Shore 0, A, B, C, D. These tiers also overlap. Arctic TP-3 is 55 of Shore 00, which is, despite of Arctic´s claim of being "very soft", actually just "soft" and can be defined as a value 20 of Shore hardness 0. Thermal Grizzly Minus Pads are 60 on Shore 00 and they´re already quite hard and don´t compress well. The deformability of a pad can be increased by heating them up - either with a hair dryer or a heat gun.
Somewhat of a red flag - Arctic does not specify thermal conductivity. Only marketing claims about lower thermal resistance, than competition.
There is also another matter - the more soft a pad is, the more they leak oil, which then causes decrease of thermal conductivity.
If you don´t want to worry about using the correct pad thickness, consider using Thermal putty. It will compress to just the right size. Just the application is messy and getting it off from the GPU can be time consuming. No oil leaks and you´d have to rearrange it each time after you open the card. Also very suitable for backplate use, since it´s ability to conduct heat isn´t impaired by thickness.
Please, do your research next time and don´t spread misinformation. While it won´t cost YOU much, it may cost others a fortune.
edit: opened a GPU after some time and found out, that the putty on mosfets hardened to a clay. But before the disassembly, heat conductivity was just fine. Putty on VRAM was also still mouldable and reusable. Which means, if temperature is high enough, putty will cure in place, has to be removed after next disassembly of the GPU and replaced. Which shouldn´t be an issue, if you don´t plan a future GPU disassembly.
Hi. Any reason why you didn't put the thermal pad on the Unit as well?
The heck you mean by unit...
If you mean the GPU die itself its simple to answer
Thermal paste squishes to well around 0.3mm depending on mounting pressure even less than that
Thermal-pads are worse conductors than paste and do not squish and flow into the crevices
If you attempted to use a thermal-pad instead of paste you would see your hotspot temperature be over 100c as there will be area's of no contact what so ever
There is 1 exception and thats PTM7950
For CPU's it matters much less as there is an IHS which will spread the heat out but GPU's are direct die there is practically no heatspread
See it all the time where people will not frost the thermalpaste on their GPU or use the wrongsize thermalpads or just ones that are too firm and have a hotspot delta of over 40c with Nvidia cards thats expect to be no more than 20c max 15c or less ideally
Are you suppose to apply thermal paste like that on gpus?
Have you ever built your own PC?
Answer is a flatout YES and its not limited to just GPU's
Frosting means you get the most contact possible for a CPU and for a GPU its the only way to avoid a hotspot going north of 100c because the spread missed some of the GPU die and now its trying to die
The Artic Pads are very soft (which is perfect)- so you dont need the extact thicknes downgrades...you can use a 1.5 mm from 1.5 down to 0.5 mm -
Kinda shame Arctic only offers thickness from 0,5 to 1,5mm.
Eh, if you look around Amazon, you’ll find just about every thickness, and personally speaking, I have yet to buy some thermal pads that weren’t at least better than stock.
I used to only buy Arctic too but that was probably a mistake on my part 😂❤
Check out OwlTree thermal pads if you want a cheap set of various sized pads, from 1-3mm ❤ they aren’t the highest performance but they DO perform well for how dumb cheap they are 😂
Compared with my arctic pads, they were right up there with em ❤
you can stack up the pads, as long as you do not include air between layers, the performance will be same as a thicker pad. We did test 10 layers of 0.5mm Vs a single 5mm and it was even.
If you look at any brand pad, the thermal conductivity decreases exponentially with thickness. Wondering if 3mm pads help at all 🤔
@@hphp7587 they do. I just tested a GPU with and without backplate and temps without backplate were like this: VRM 10°C higher; VRAM 2°C higher (this is with no VRAM on the back of the GPU); SoC 3°C higher.
One would think removing the backplate would let the GPU breathe more, but apparently, if the backplate is padded, it acts like additional heatsink.
Please help in galax2060 super thermal pads.
Always apply seperate pads for memory chips. Ssd gpu it does not matter. They transfer heat to each other and heats up collectively when use 1 slice all of them
The whole point is to maximise heat transfer and balance the temperature of them
Never do separate ones only monolithic
Lets say you have 1 chip that runs 5c hotter than the rest with individual pads
Well that chip could run 2-3c cooler using a monolithic thermal pad which will not reduce the likely hood of any 1 random Vram chip dying prematurely compared to the rest
@@commanderoof4578 there is a video about seperate pads for nvme ssd
@@normalkullanc1993 its a fact you want a monolithic one so they are all kept closer to each other in temperature shut up
@@commanderoof4578 thank you for recommendation
Do thermal pads release any liquid? I just opened my laptop, and it has factory fitted thermal pads. What I am observing is some sort of moisture on the chips below it.
Is this normal?
no
Yes,some pads extract liquid if they get very hot it's normal.
but not this one, i got those pads, its like foam@@niekasniekas2614
to be honest 3 degrees doesn't sound like it's worth the hassle especially when you factor in that you might be risking your warranty.
Possibly more useful for FE cards. Some of them (including mine) had atrocious vram temps.
Was going to 104-107c on heavy games like CP2077 or Control. Even with an undervolt in summer, would go to 100c easily. Anything above 104c would cause the fans to go crazy.
Well for most gamers & users that's absolutely true. But for someone who wants to apply liquid metal or change fans/deshroud to get a better thermal & acoustic performance, this kind of products is necessary. Still, I would say, stock ones are good enough for most ppl. For older cards that definitely need changing thermal pads, the pricing seems a little bit high, so you might as well get the TP-2 or something like that.
In America those little stickers that say avoid your warranty if you remove the sticker or there to scare you. In America we have the right to repair so you can remove those stickers and they still have to under the warranty. They simply put those on there because they send these cards into other countries as well that do not have the right to repair. If you're really paranoid you can always buy the sticker on eBay and replace it. But just to let you know you can remove the sticker all you want and they can understand why you're warranty look it up. We have the right to repair in America. Also that's specific screw you can always unscrew it with a pair of pliers You don't even have to use a screwdriver. But it is a matter I've had tons of cards sent into warranty that I've worked on and they've all been approved because they cannot not approve your card because you worked on it. Because there's a federal law that they cannot deny. Look into it so when people don't know this it's disgusting
For vrams instead of low performance thermopads better give a gummy/sticky thermal paste K5 Pro 5,3 W/mK, Laird Tputty 607 6,4 W/mK, Upsiren U6 Pro 12,8 W/mK. And for the graphics core a Honeywell PTM7950 phase-change thermopad.
Upsiren U6 pro is awesome. I´m only wondering about its long-time endurance.
These are some of the best out there, same with artic's thermal paste, non electrically conductive and non capacitive, they do not overrate the W/mk rating either unlike most pastes. Used mx2, 4 and 6. After several years, mx4 was still pliable, all the pastes were great... Used it in all my computers, cards and when rebuilding amplifiers, powersupplies and TV's and more. Never had a single issue.
my gpu didnd have any pads... my gpu was going 84 degrees celsius... think adding thermal pads on my msi ventus 2x rtx 3070 will reduce this?
lol same for me, I have a Aorus RTX 2080 ti and recently after 2 yrs of having the gpu, didn't have any.. I for sure heard that thermal pads or even copper modding your gpu helps for sure!
@@play_stationjr8636 i allready did it i added gelid solution thermal paste and gelid solution thermal pads 2mm on my msi ventus 2x 3070 now my gpu doesnt go beyond 73 c on 4k ultra
Next step would be to try out copper shims.
That is a ton of relatively risky work for a 3.5% reduction in temps. If you're installing a hybrid kit or doing the work anyways, then it makes sense to swap out for better pads, but otherwise doesn't seem worth it.
What Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are you Leonardo, Rafaelo, Donatelo or Michelangelo?
I don't need to ask what kind of asshole are you coz you're definitely a special kind.
Im so amazed with this youtube vids "Change paste,Change thermal pads" But no one knows how to PROPER add cooler paste! Wtf dude thats way to much!
It's a GPU die, not a CPU with a heat spreader. Look how paste was all over when he dissassembled it. That's how you paste a GPU.
There is literally no such thing as too much unless it endsup spreading onto the contact frame which would cause a high spot
For a GPU the only and i mean only way to apply thermalpaste is to frost it because you so much as miss 1x1mm you can have a hotspot temp over 100c even if the rest of it is 40c and you will be throttling if not crashing
