Hello guys
I was wondering about the pads that EVGA is providing and the thermal conductivity that they have?
Is it like 6 W/MK like the Artic thermal pads? is like anyway close to the Fujipoly Extreme 11 W/MK ???
 
I can potentially purchase Fujipoly but idk if the ones from EVGA are close.
 
Also can you guys give me the measurements for the narrow , wide and vram pads in case that I decide to go for Fujipoly?
Thanks

    This will make the 6th time you've inquired about pads... Simply wait for your shipment from EVGA.

    If you look closely this is the first time I ask about thermal conductivity values
    Something that is NOT on any of the previous post and I'm pretty sure it will not be on the pads when they are shipped, nor reddit nor the internet

    Now last time that I checked this was a forum not a dictatorship. If the people can't inquire as many questions as pleased without triggering any users or SOME MODERATORS please let me know

    Hi Orlando
     
    Your knowledge on this subject seems high, as not many would query the thermal conductivity of any pads.
     
    Would therefore suggest you go with best you can source yourself, as EVGA keep reminding people these are not absolutely necessary anyway.
     
    If you are going to change/add these pads, then as someone who understands how they work, just buy your own of best performance possible and tell everyone how it went.
     
    Alas, I come from times long ago when anyone who overlocked anything would always spend hours polishing CPU's and stripping down graphics cards to replace TIM etc, even before we started.
     
    So just go with best you can source/buy and don't wait for freebies from EVGA or anyone else.
     
    Just my take, as I would be watercooling and therefore changing everything anyway.

    I asked Tech Support twice to give me the thermal conductivity of the thermal pads they use and all they would ever tell is that they use ShinEtsu and that they did not have the thermal conductivity information available.
    Get the 11w/mk ones or better and you will be good to go.
    It is my belief that the Shin Etsu are only 6w/mk, if that.

    Interesting info if you are into it, but the Fujipoly pads would cost too much and likely be overkill for this application.
    I am going to fit the free ones and see what happens.

    Keep in mind the pads EK uses on all their blocks are only ~3.6w/mk. You really dont need super high end pads.

    I think it all depends on what you are aiming for but any kind of thermal pads is better than a gap of hot air.
     
    I'm hoping higher end thermal pads and paste can allow more applications to run without the fans kicking in. I like silence!

    For my understanding " I called EVGA support and they  have no idea" the thermal conductivity of the pads are around 6 W/mk. 
    I went to the Sin Etsu site and the pads that they have are 3.5 and 6 w/mk so is not as good as a Fujipoly or a Thermal Grizzly one.
     
    For my understanding all the pads  should be fine with a  thickness of  1.5 mm  EXCEPT for the wide one " the one on the backplate " that is supposed to be at least 2mm thick.
     
    My thermal grizzly thermal paste and Fujipolys should be arriving this weekend. I will post my results as soon as possible. Thank you everybody for the replies, as a side note I will keep buying EVGA because even when they made a mistake they are still really trying hard to make it right for us.
     
    PS: I will ask girlfriend for a waterblock kit for my Christmas gift
