Question Sapphire Pulse 6750 XT Thermal Pads

[Chris David]

Hi,

I was cleaning my PC yesterday as it was long overdue and came to the GPU, I already had planned to use PTM 7950 considering how much people praise it for its longevity. Turns out I had a bigger issue with the thermal pads on the memory, they looked absolutely destroyed and so crusty I had to go at it multiple times with alcohol pads and gently scrapping it with my fingernail to get them off. Unfortunately, with the state of the pads themselves, I couldn't get enough to measure its size with a vc and now I am lost as to what to do.

I have searched around online and turns out people with Pulse 6750 XTs are unicorns. There is no information about the pad sizes for the Pulse 6750 XT, I was thinking of using the same pads as mentioned by owners of 6700 XT Pulse cards, but I am not completely sure if Sapphire didn't change anything.

I tried contacting Sapphire support regarding the sizes and they are not very helpful and instead give me the equivalent of an automated response to use GPU-Z to record temperature logs and send it to them while I have already mentioned that the GPU is taken apart and the thermal pads are destroyed to the point I cannot put it together back and risk any stress test on it.

I am turning to here to see if anybody with a fellow 6750 XT Pulse have the size measurements for the GPU. Please help a brother out !

If you have easy access to sheets of PLA, that range from 1mm and above, you could probably use them as a gauge to how thick of a pad you need. You could also just buy an assortment of .5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm thick pads to work with your GPU.

Just an FYI, even you took a nail to the thermal pads, you should still be able to get a rough gauge as to the thickness of the pads.

You sure you looked around...

Sapphire Pulse RX 6700 XT thermal pad sizes

Couldn't find pad sizes for this model anywhere... Memory = 1.5mm Mosfets = 1.0mm They don't cool the chokes on this card and no pads on the backplate To add pads to backplate you need 2.5mm pads and there is a plastic insulation sheet on the underside of the backplate that would need to be...

I wish I was joking when I said it was destroyed, but it literally was the definition of dry and crusty and crumbled as soon as I tried to wedge out a piece. I couldn't get a sizable enough piece for the vernier caliper to hold and measure.

Are you sure you read my post correctly ? I am not sure if Sapphire changed anything with the 6700 XT vs the 6750 XT.

I came across the post you shared, which is what I mentioned in the post as thinking of using the same but unsure if Sapphire did any changes.
