You simply did such an amazing job with this test and deserve every positive comment here :) Also, I would like to add a small positive side of keeping memory cooler and core hotter : Since metals (like copper/tin, etc.) get physically bigger the more heated they are, keeping PCB temperature even/uniform across all areas should help in preventing traces/joints being damaged from material fatigue over long period of time (because difference in temperature creates different stretching/compressing mechanical forces inside PCB layers). I don't know how relevant this is to longevity of the card, hence I classified it only as small positive :) It may not even be a problem for 5-10 years, since it depends on max. temp difference and number of hot/cold cycles each card had after all.

@@TekShinji I really enjoyed this... (concerned what this says about me) lol. But the Thermalright pads are the ones i used on mine after seeing loads of videos and recommendations. Mine dropped from 104C to 88C although i did not just replace the pads on the memory modules i did the VRM pads too which i suppose would allow the heatsink to draw closer to the modules and thus create the proper contact which given the thickness deviation from what was advertised is probably quite important. Could you or did you test the thermalright pads but with more than the memory modules replaced? I and others have had excellent temp drops with them and sadly it seems your results are the anomaly which is distressing as yours seems to be the most concise testing i have seen.

This kind of information is worth gold. Thank you for doing this (and it makes me feel better about getting the Gelid's in the first place). Comprehensive, easy to understand and to the point. Also worth to note, using thicker pads means the contact pressure between the cold plate and GPU core is less, which usually translates into a few C increase on the GPU core. It's a tradeoff, cooler RAM means hotter core.

Hey there, thanks for the comment on the feedback. Regarding the thicker pads. This also happened with the thinner pads and every pad we used was relatively close to the tolerances listed. Because of that is why we determined there was more thermal saturation in the cooler.

Great job. Some of my favorite videos are ones by guys like you and Seb who put in a lot of hours like this to produce a single video. It does not go unnoticed, my friend. Adding all the graphs and numbers gave this one a real Gamer's Nexus feel and I know you must take any comparison to them as a high compliment. You deserve it. As for others who may read this, I've used a generic Amazon pad similar to the one TekShinji does in this test. The kind you can get in the big 200mm x 200mm sheets which is HUGE (you can change many card's pads with one of those). They got the job done for me at a low price. They won't win you any bragging rights if that's what you're in to, but my Gigabyte 3080's been happily hashing away for 5 months with no loss in performance or degradation (knock on wood). My VRAM temps stay at 90C with 80% fan speed with pads replaced on both sides of the PCB. Nothing additional added to the metal backplate. No special fans directing additional air for supplemental cooling. Just one card inside a gaming PC case with the side panel off.
@magiclucky51522 жыл бұрын
P.S. It's also worth noting, that in my situation, my 3080 required 3 different thicknesses to match what came on my card. As TekShinji mentions in this video, it's extremely important that you get the fit as close to perfect and not substitute the wrong pad sizes because you don't have what you need available. Because I was looking at 3 times the expense of someone doing a card that uses only 1 pad thickness, it led me to try the generic type as well.

He really did almost all the work on this video. I just let him go ham! We hope to make more videos like this in the future. It's just it's extreme time commitment and a lot of work. Regarding the thickness of pads, that is true. Every card takes a different type of pad. That's why we are comparing the brands and their claims rather than making a how-to or which pad to use on which card since it varies so much.

Thermalright pads are NOT measured on the OO scale. (Sc) means they were measured using a shore C durometer which gives a very very different hardness rating. Although that rating can give you an idea of its hardness, it can not be compared directly with the others. The hardness of the Thermalright pads is noticeable higher than the others which is part of the reason they appear to give the most inconsistent results between users. They can not compress anywhere near as much as the other pads so they struggle to fill the gaps between the cold plate and memory modules. The main reason pads are used on memory modules is because their heights from the pcb are inconsistent due to the production line's soldering process.

I appreciate you pointing this out! I overlooked that it was SC. That would therefore be about 87-94.5 on the shore 00 scale.

I think a contributing factor to the increased GPU core temp with certain pads, is that they are reducing the pressure applied to the core, leaving a thicker paste layer. I expect some temp increase with better VRAM cooling, but not 20c+ Would be interesting to see a high end thermal putty in comparison, since it allows for optimal core contact / pressure.

I actually just got a 6700 XT that was a factory refurb with fresh paste and pads. The consistency / density of the pads appeared to be on par with Gelid Extreme, so pretty good quality to begin with. I tested with Furmark (1080p 8X) before and after switching to U6 Pro thermal putty and PTM7950 for the core. It dropped -2c core, -10c hotspot, -4c VRAM and -5c VRM. Went from a hotspot delta of 18c, to 10c. Ambient temp was identical between tests and I used a static fan speed. Let the cards heatsoak and reach steady state before recoding any data.

Only Fugi Ultimate is really better but still, 75$ for a single pad is overpriced for the little improve over the others it gives. Beside, pricing will differ from one location to another.

Hi, very nice and complete testing, however I can bring my results which defer a lot from yours .. both me and a friend got a 3080Ti FE. Both suffering from very high stock VRAM temps. (throttle 108-110° during heavy mining, fan immediately to 100%). We both did a repad at almost a similar time (end of August). I went for the Minus Pad 8 , he went for the Thermal Odyssey, both 1.5mm front and back (i tried 2mm first, that did not work, not enough Core contact). We had roughly the exact same temps during mining afterwards during gaming or mining (tried ETH, RVN, ERG), within the same 2°, both excellent, easily down to the 80° with about 60% fan. BUT, more recently I noticed that my temps were getting really bad again, to the point of being back to the 104-108°, at the same or even higher fan speeds (I was mining constantly since then). I took it apart again and ... it's like the Minus 8 pads "leaked", and had water under them now sitting between the ram module and the pad. (I have some pics). Cleaned up everything, and went for the same Thermalright Odyssey this time around. Back to the amazing 70°ish for gaming, 80°ish mining. So yeah, durability and ability to withstand during time is actually super important as well. Short sum up from my side : Minus 8 Pad and Thermalright Odyssey perf is similar (approx -24° VRAM same conditions), but Minus 8 Pad degraded within 2 full months of constant mining. Let's see about the Odyssey

It´s good to add, that you should always measure your old thermal pads and add new of the same height. Otherwise, you might encounter issues, like higher GPU core and/or VRM thermals, when using thicker pads. Or higher memory/VRM temperatures, when using thinner thermal pads. Another necessary point is, each card can have multiple sizes of pads on various places, so you need to have a supply of multiple sizes of pads.

@@TekShinji i was replacing the pads on my GPU last weekend and these were my findings. I had some trouble with measuring stock pads, so i used thicker pads for VRAM, as a result, i had insufficient contact at core and VRM. There is similar issue with backplate, especially when there aren’t enough screws near the padded area. It’s also necessary to understand, which area should be covered by the pads, since the manufacturers tends to use pads as simple & cheap as possible - they´d rather use 1 longer pad, than 2 or more individual pads for each VRAM chip.

The 1070ti (Founders Edition) required .5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm thermal pads. I measured each and every pad to ensure they remained the same thickness. I do have to warn though that the GELID thermal pads are very tough to reuse as they are like a clay substance that sorta crumbles after taking off / putting back on.

Try Gelid Extreme instead. They're much softer compared to the Gelid Ultimate. One possible flaw with this test is the harder pads do not compress as much, therefore leading to insufficient core mounting pressure. Another idea is to try thermal putty (TG-PP10). They don't have any hardness, so they can potentially allow the heatsink to be closer to the modules/core allowing for higher clamping and thermal transfer.

I've repadded a lot of 3090 FE , I've had no problems with the thermalright extreme odyssey , they measure as 1.5mm as advertised using a micrometer . My benchmarking involves running the card at 105C max on the hotspot .On a stock 3090 this usually involves underclocking the ram significantly and usually gets something like 80Mhash . With the thermaltakes and a repaste I'll get 120Mhash with a very high overclock and temps will usually stay at 98 or below with fan sitting at 60% ( which means the card can be pretty much silent when mining). I've used Gelids as a comparison and found zero difference in performance. I use gelid and thermaltake on Zotac and Msi and not noticed much difference between the two . Only difference being going for 0.5mm thicker on the gelids vs stock pads due to softness . I generally prefer to use the thermalright and take care to precisely measure the pads with a micrometer ( its all 1.5mm on the 3090 FE) on most 3080 and 3090 other than FE you only need to replace the memory pads front and back , the other components are usually fine with the stock pads whihc is just as well as they often use odd thicknesses like 1.3 and 1.7mm ( its totally fine to sandwich pads together to get the thickness required by the way)

I've been researching the subject in those past few weeks because I'm about to do the first clean-up and repasting of my new PC, so far everything is still stock. It is running great and I'm not having any problems, but I like to do the first repaste after one year and then just doing it again when necessary. Some suggestions: 1 can we replace thermal pad with a very thick layer of thermal paste? I think we can't because we would trade conduction for convection, and that's bad, but thermal paste, after it has curated, may end up behaving more like a solid, so, test it I say. 2 if we put thermal paste WITH thermal pads, what happens? I suggest doing it in 3 configurations, paste in both sides of the pad, paste in the dissipator side of the pad only and paste in the die side of the pad only, with 3 specs, matching the thermal conductivity of both the paste and the pad, with the paste being weaker, and with the pad being weaker. 3 is there a way to make it work? if we improve the heat dissipation to a degree heat gets blasted away before returning to the die?

You have to get the thickness perfect. I think there are more than just 1.5mm pads that get used in this GPU. I wasted the money and bought all sizes .5mm - 3.0mm and then just matched it to the compressed thickness of the stock pad that was used. I had to remount a couple times to figure it out, but now it's perfect. It seems obvious with that poor of a result on a quality product that there's an issue you may want to retest.

This is a great video to reference now after my 3090 FE needs maintenance after 3 1/4 years. Although there is something odd about your results with the Thermalright Oddysey pads, as those were the pads I used, and I got the same sort of temperatures you got with the Gelid Ultimate pads. My 3090 had the memory junction temperature at 112 degrees when new, and I ended up replacing the pads just two months after I bought it, which was very annoying and stressful. I used the 1.5mm thickness everywhere and got the memory junction temperature down to only get as high as 86 degrees under load when 3D rendering, which is also heavy on memory usage. I don't mine, so can't say how well it did for that, but it seems to be anything that is heavy on memory usage makes for good testing. At the moment, my 3090 is running a lot warmer than it used to on the core, so the thermal paste needs redoing, but the memory juction temperature is still the same as when I did it back then. I found this video as I'm concerned that even though the pads work alright still, they could end up crumbling if I try to remove them, so I think it's going to be safer for me to have some new ones ready to put in, and if the Thermalright ones can be inconsistent, I'll go with the better Gelid ones this time around. Thank you for such a good video.

note to you 😁:I can confirm after 4m of trial, gelid are very solid pads(i dare to say the best thermal pads. just make sure to get the right thickness). they are very good if you go with whatever the manufacturer had in there too if you add thicker they won't compress and you will get inconsistent/poor results

I've used both gelud 15w and 12w, they have different uses. If you need a firm pad use the 15w, if you need a soft pad is 12w.

fun fact. i did this without recording and posting on KZfaq and my choice was gelid by far. granted i have my cards water-cooled but compared with cheap ones gelid keeps my 3080's and 3080ti's founders at 62-68 junction temp(while mining eth with +1400 mem) while the cheap one after 2 3 months they started loosing thermals. at first the cheap ones(well actually ek ones on one of the cards and different random brands on the other ones) were keeping the cards at 76 degree but than in a span of 4 months the temp started raising/averaging all the way up to 96 degree on some cards

Hey, I'm a little new to thermal pads, but I was wondering: can you use these Gelid thermal pads inside a laptop? There's this separate chipset inside my old laptop that the heat pipe also goes to, and there's a little thermal pad on the chipset. I've measured the dimensions of the thermal pad and the new pad should be a 15mm square that is 1mm thick. I needed thermal paste for the new CPU and figured I'd replace the little thermal pad on the other chipset too while I had it apart. TL;DR: Can you use these Gelid thermal pads on chipsets inside an older laptop?

Thanks for the video! Can I also suggest that maybe the core temps were higher, due to the better thermalpads being harder than the stock ones? Because hard pads would compress less, leading to less contact pressure between heatsink and gpu core, leading to higher gpu core temps.
@TekShinji2 жыл бұрын
Hey there, this would prove to be true. However, it seems to be happening across the board with other pads that were software as well that had a higher thermal conductivity. In other words, the lower the memory temperature, the higher the core temp in most situations. It's very interesting though! We thought so too. However, we don't think that was the case now.

First time viewer, this is a pretty damn great video - I think you've got yourself another subscriber! Personally I've used Thermalright pads on a couple of 3090 FE cards after fitting EK blocks. In both cases, the temperatures dropped around 10c under memory load compared to the pads EK supply which is about where they should be given the stated conductivity... Since I'm working with blocks, the results aren't directly comparable with yours obviously, and I use liquid metal on the die and the (free and softer) EK pads where heat transfer isn't needed, like on top of the chokes, which would likely mitigate any compression issues the pinned commenter brought up... or maybe the 1mm pads are just made to tighter tolerances or weren't stamped on at the amazon warehouse... (they did measure at 1.0mm).

The thermal power transfer from the memory to the cooler is constant, namely at equilibrium it is simply the power usage of the modules.

I find it hard to believe what they say in the video because when I swapped mine between different pads/brands on Gainward RTX3080ti I have never experienced core temperature difference of more than 1C initially and also it is just because of this video that I started swapping pads with very low w/mk -5 while being scared of increasing temps and when I did changed to 5W/mk I got VRAM temps increase to 20 C over stock thermal pads.So I'm still looking for as effective thermal pads as the stocks were ,ordered GP ultimate but have not tried them yet thinking they might be a bit too hard.

The increase in the core temp is due to the fact that the fan curve is lowered with better thermal pads on the memory

But I love gamers Nexus! He’s actually a really cool guy. Just super nerdy. We tried our best to use the words that are most common, but some of them just can’t be replaced.

i feel like steve is mostly a harmless human he seems to have an affinity for "trying to catch people doing stuff" for a lack of better words even in his latest drama videos about asus, the whole thing was set up with bad intentions. "we specifically didn't tell them all of the issues we had to see if they could figure it out themselves. if you brought your car to a mechanic saying you needed a muffler change but also your radio wasn't working and you just expected the mechanic to randomly check the radio for functionality you're just an asshole. on top of that, do you remember when they did a big thing about supporting our efforts to keep manufacturers in check while we purchase a 60kUSD testing device to test rpm speeds on 12v fans...... have you seen a video about them testing 12v fan speed rpms to "give it to noctua"? they are very immature they do find ok things sometimes and share ok information sometimes other than that they are a drama channel.
