Question What Size Thermal Pads Are These? - Gigabyte GTX 1080 WF OC

[Vellaura]

Hey all!

I bought a used GeForce® GTX 1080 WINDFORCE OC 8G and wanted to change the thermal pads and thermal paste as it was incredibly caked up and they looked like they definetely needed it. It's my first time changing thermal pads and I wasn't entirely sure on the sizes. I did some extensive research online and found I needed 0.5mm and 1mm pads. In the first image the green ones are 0.5mm and the white ones on the heatsink are 1mm. The green ones are much thinner then the white.

I however couldn't find any information for the pads in between the backplate and PCB. I took some pictures and was wondering if anyone might have any clue as to what size these are as well as the backplate.

Since you have the card in hand, you're best course of action is to disassemble the card and measure the thermal pads dimensions using a sliding caliper or a scale/ruler.

This is a very rich reddit, if you scroll down a short length.

Once you've gotten the dimensions, you can source pads from these fella's;
