This is so true and why I will not open up any EVGA card. Thermal putty is just too unpredictable.

I wish EVGA would just create a replacement kit to BUY lol

Yea, I feel like more information is needed when people do this mod. What case did you do it in, what is the entire setup and case fans/airflow. Honestly shocked I seem to be the only one in the history of this mod reporting an increase in temps. My build is on mods rigs and here:

Could easily be the pad replacement you did.  When I did my 3080 I got a small bump in core temps in exchange for a small decrease in mem temps.  After working with a 5700xt pad replacement I've realized that if the pads are even a bit thicker than stock you will increase the core temp due to changes in clearance.




I never actually did the pads because all the info on them was all over the place, I just asked here hoping to get some info on it. Sorry for the confusion.
