Hi. I saw your post with the hybrid kit and missing thermal pads..
I was just wondering one thing.. does your card have coil whine?
The reason I am asking is I´ve spend a LOT of hours researching coil whine and now I am trying to find out if it can make a difference if they are covered with thermal pads or not. especially with waterblocks.. some say it can make a difference with cooling. I myself have 2080ti with EK Full Waterblock and backplate and ALL thermal pads incl. chokes. And it makes a very high coil whine when peaking in benchmarks etc. When it was stock air cooled I honestly dident even notice it..
My point is IF it could have an effect with cooling, then maybe they will actually be cooled better without thermal pads like the GPU when running waterblock?
