I placed the request for the Thermal Pad off the site and on the confirmation email it states 1 thermal pad requested. Is that all they provide us? I did it off my Iphone and it only let me select my 1080 FTW serial number for my card and did not get option on anything else?

It's 1 order of thermal pads. More than 1 come in the package I assume. They at least have to give us some paste to repeat the heatsink with. Though they could have us cut the thermal pad to size.

Oh thanks for letting me know. Ive never taken apart GPU so was not sure about Thermal Pads. I've been Air Cool for life lol.

They use thermal pads for less critical components on the card. The GPU gets directly cooled via thermal paste and direct contact with the heatsink, while the others usually have thermal pads linking them to the memory cooling plate that gets cooled indirectly by the airflow past the heatsink fins. These thermal pads add to the load on the cooling plate but eliminate the risk of overheating the vrm modules. You will be learning how to take apart a GPU air cooler though.

Before you receive the pads there'll be a thread here informing where you're supposed to apply them.

Thanks but I meant how they get them. I do not have them yet. Will they be sent automatically if your card is registered? Is there a site I have to request them? Thanks again.

Will the pads only have contact with the fins? Will there be a plate similar to how Palit or Asus cards are? If not, wont it be super inefficient and dry out eventually?
