Thank you SO much for making this video! I was clueless on this process, had never taken apart a GPU before. My Gigabyte 2080 Super Windforce OC was suddenly sounding SO loud randomly. The fans were kicking in unbelievably loudly then going quiet and then loud and then quiet. It was infuriating. It used to always run quietly. I did this process using the GELID Ultimate thermal pads and Kryonaut thermal paste and my GPU is night-and-day different. In the same game/scene, my GPU temps have gone from 74-75 degrees down to 59-60. The fans are so much quieter, and my clock speed is far more high and stable. Thank you again for making this video, it really gave me the confidence to do this project!
Mate, great video just did my 2080 TI following this, I swear it's cooler than it was brand new. So a big thank you for posting this. Clear and easy to follow.
Great video, just followed this for my Gigabyte RTX2080Ti, and it worked perfectly. No more loud fans afterwards either! Had no idea that the thermal paste/pads can wear out. Thanks for making an easy to follow no frills video!
Great video! Lowered my temps from 86 Celsius to 60 Celsius. I changed the thermal pads and the paste as you instructed here. Easy to follow! One thing I noticed was the side close to the inputs had extra thermal pads. Just kept them the same as the other side. Also, the two screws you didn't take out had to be removed for me to get the other side off. Thanks again for this great video!!!
Good clean job, as a computer/laptop/VGA repair guy i used lots of MX-4 but switched to PTM7950 and Laird TPCM 7000 phase change pads because it lasts longer and has fenomenal heat transfer.
I've got some sagging issues with this card as well as whirring on one of the fans. Thanks for showing how to safely take apart. going to do some work on it on Saturday and let you know how it goes as well as replace the thermal paste and pads
Thanks for the very helpful video! For the rightmost pad labeled 1.0 mm in the video I ended up going with a 1.5mm pad because I could see a clear light gap between the pad and components when shining a light from the bottom of the board after re-assembly. Guessing there could be some minor board to board variation. For folks replacing their pads, it may be worth spending a couple extra minutes to shine a light between the reassembled board to ensure the pads are touching all the components. The hot spot temps dropped by over 20 deg C for me! I'm thinking the old thermal paste was shot / almost all pumped out.
I had to undervolt this card and make a fan curve and yes before doing so I had also the 4000rpm fan like an airlplane taking off, the paste and pads being hold + the voltage being high by default makes this card a nightmare luckily I knew what to do
Hi! This video is exactly what i needed, very helpful stuff there. Do you remember if one 90x50mm pack of each thickness is enough for this card? Thank you in advance
why do the thermal pads need to be of specific thickness? Can't just one size (for example 1.5mm) be used everywhere? 1mm difference doesnt seem like much..
I have been having this problem for years. At first I started using Msi Afterburner and using curve and under volting. However it’s not working anymore. I put my pc in the shop and he changed the thermal paste and replaced my motherboard, but I wonder if he changed the thermal padding? Thanks for the video. I haven’t even heard of thermal padding before this.
So I bought only 0.5mm thermal pads to replace on my RTX 2080 TI. Mine only uses 0.5 and 1.0mm. Do you know if I can put 2 layers of 0.5mm pads where you are suposed to use 1.0mm?
umm i have this card.. but mine has a small circuit board at the end with a wire that hooks to a thermal sensor that came off and I have no clue where the sensor is suppose to go. bad part is.. no one seems to have that small extra circuit on their windforce.. any ideas? (Your housing shows where the circuit would sit in the housing..but it does have that part.. (at 2:06) betweent the two screw hole mounts is a place a small circuit board can fit)
i wanted to find something about it, but don't find anything, sorry, can't help you with that; but when you disassemble the card, didn't you see some connectors that si free? that there could be the circuit board connected to?
@@dostuffwithjonathan2549 I got the card off ebay already torn apart. it had solder break loose, I think i found where it was suppose to be and fixed the (bad attempt at a repair) soldering job. It does run a little warm but not dangerous - HP-- average is about 75-80
I didn't replace it in the video because my thermopad was still fine, if the temperatures don't drop AND your thermalpads are all oily (you can see an oily stain around the thermalpads), you can replace it, it's a 2,5mm pad
I've got a Gigabyte RTX 2080 WINDFORCE 8GB and been looking for info everywhere for pad thickness but it's all TI or GAMING OC that I've found. Have you any idea if it's the same as either of those cards? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
@@VjMavdog Hello, have you been given information about the sizes of thermal pads? And then the same thing started for me. If it's not difficult, please writ

I'm glad the video was useful for you
great vid, my 2070 super has the same problem, hotspot hits 105 degrees and fans spin up to 100%
Mate, great video just did my 2080 TI following this, I swear it's cooler than it was brand new. So a big thank you for posting this. Clear and easy to follow.
Yeah same for me lol, mine was just 100% fans all the time while playing a game.

thank you! i didn't get the chance to get my hands on this thermal paste and pads, will try to get some and test it someday

Any Updates yet? :D
Thanks, from 104°c to 61°C - Did also the backplate with 2mm Gelid Ultimate. Is as quiet as a mouse :)

tnks u🤗
Thanks for the video! I don't have thermal pads, only paste. Can I use it instead of the pads?
you're welcome. Please buy some thermalpads, the paste is just for the GPU die
Just to make sure to do this repair I will need to order all 3 sizes 0.5mm 1.0mm 1.5mm and thermal paste correct?
correct, look at 2:52 in the video
is it the same measurement for RTX 2070 gigabyte super windforce?
they look the same visually, I can't tell you for sure, but I think they might be the same sizes of thermal pad
Hello, tell me what kind of program for monitoring the PC system? Did you know that the video card also has thermal pads under the backplate?!
hello, the program im using is CPUID HWMonitor; just google it and you will find it

yes, i have the exact the same card! i need to write this in the description, so you can see and take my measurement of the thermopads!
@@dostuffwithjonathan2549 Thanks for replying. Excellent, I can now order some new pads and thermal paste with confidence now.

@@Alex_Koltsov At 5:22 there is a picture on screen with pad thickness.
@@VjMavdog Do they have similar cooling systems? In the video, he shows gaming and as far as I understand, you asked about Windforce
