    I just bought a second hand Asus TUF 3060 TI and was disappointed by the huge fan noise. After some research, I was convinced that the thermal paste was to be changed. I follow the guide (only changed the thermal paste) with success easily and gained 15° C (70°C average on 3D Mark Time Spy to 55°C) so I would say 3 times noise reduction which make my graphic card really quiet now! So don't blame the fans first as it could be the thermal paste (which was completely dry). Thanks for the tutorial and I hope it helps someone :).

    IDK if there are different Versions of the cooler available, but that pad size did not fit. The pads you mentioned which are 2.0 need at least 3 maybe 4mm. Also 1.5 for memory does not really squish the pads. I guess for memory it works, as I installed the 1.5mm and temps are ok (75 on hotspot @ 200W) but not at it full potential I guess? But the coils definitely need more. I packed 2 x 2mm on them and on the one the vrms under the extra heatsink 2 and 1.5 for the Coils. you can clearly see gaps when you assemble the card at the vrms where the pads don't contact both sides at least on my tuf gaming oc.

    Great tutorial and great teardown my friend!!
    But the thermal pad thicknes is different on mine or maybe this is a v1 tuf card insted of a v2 version.
    Anyway for those who have the same issue the vram pads are around 1.75mm so I would recomend very soft 2mm pads like gelid gp extreme that I used.For the mosfet it is around 3mm so you could use that or be like me and stack two 1.5mm pads on top of each other. I don't know about the one underneath the bracket as but the rest is fine for me

    • @TakeThatScrewOut
      @TakeThatScrewOut  Před 9 měsíci

      Thanks bro! Regarding the thickness of pads.. There's no accurate answer really regarding the 100% correct thickness of the pads..because some gpu has been passed on already from different owner, they've been bought and sold as 2nd or maybe as third owner of that particular gpu. Unless the gpu was still sealed before you tear it down. So possibly the thermal pads has been change with the wrong thickness..🤔

      Two different thickness of pads used on this Particular card.. 1.5mm & 2.0mm..NOT 3.0mm. But 3.0mm should be fine on the area has 2.0mm IF your pads is SOFT, some pads are Hard or stiff

    Thermal pads are pretty good on this card, unlike the 3080 version. Unlikely to need to replace them ever. The thermal paste is definitely not very good though. Always manually spread thermal paste on a gpu, that is a bare die. You will get bad hot spots and need to do the whole thing over again, or use a pad if you don't have normal dexterity. You will lose a little bit of thermal performance with a pad vs paste, but likely not enough to matter.
    edit: to clarify, when I say pad for the gpu, I mean the thermal pads made for cpu. They are usually made from graphite or some other material Do not use the big ones that you would use for vram and such, those would absolutely smash your gpu die.

    • @TakeThatScrewOut

      There is new product from Thermal Grizzly called Carbonaut Carbon thermal pads, its a High performance and Reusable. and the other one is Kryo Sheets also from Thermal Grizzly, which is High Performance and be aware this one is Electrically conductive, so should handle with care. Both can be use on CPU or GPU die as Thermal Paste replacements.
