Does anyone have experience with a teardown of the 3080Ti FTW3 Hydro Copper cards?  I have only found photos of the block for cleaning the internals, but no photos of the other side.
 
Are the thermal pad sizes equivalent to those on the air cooled models/are they using putty as well?

    not a hydrocopper, but I do have pictures of the disassembled 3080ti FTW3 here from when I installed the hybrid kit.
     
    I only found one post on the forums where a user indicated that customer service told them the 3080ti hydrocopper pads were 2.25mm and 2.85mm thick, but exact dimensions and locations were not specified. You may be able to get a response to a support ticket with specific dimensions. The problem most people have is that usually they use x.25 or x.75mm thick pads, which are hard to find.

    I appreciate the reply,
     
    I have submitted a ticket to support to see if they have the full specifications, will report numbers back here if they are provided.

    The current statement from support is that the thermal pad sizes of the Hydro Copper cards are the same as the air cooled variants.
     
    *Edit* Small update to this after pressing support for further information they gave me this list:
     
    Width: 6.5mm Length: 7.7mm Thickness: 2.75mm QTY: 1
    Width: 14mm Length: 53mm Thickness: 2.25mm QTY: 2
    Width: 14mm Length: 37.5mm Thickness: 2.25mm QTY: 1
    Width: 12mm Length: 15mm Thickness: 2.25mm QTY: 1
    Width: 5mm Length: 110mm Thickness: 2.5mm QTY: 1
     
    Width: 13mm Length: 78mm Thickness: 2.5mm QTY: 1
    Width: 13mm Length: 115mm Thickness: 2.5mm QTY: 1
     
    The first 5 pads are what is currently available in the FAQ for the standard 3080/3080Ti, the last two are additional to that list, though I am not sure exactly where they are located on the card, and I am not planning to teardown the card to check until 6+ months for the next coolant flush/replacement.  Hopefully this helps anyone else in the future.
