There was a similar post on this same topic last year, though it was for a different variant. Thread can be found here:
In this thread it was recommended to use 1.5mm thickness thermal pads as replacements. Does this hold true for all variants? The OP specifies that theirs is an XC variant, but I'm unable to find any guides for mine specifically. I'm pretty sure mine is just the baseline RTX 2080.
EDIT: originally had link to old thread, looks like Links aren't allowed in these posts. Understandable.
