My rough measurements of the pads as I found them on the card was 2.5mm for everything except the piece on the backside of the GPU which was 2.0mm.

That's unusually thicc, anyway you can measure it?

Probably best to get the info from EVGA CS.  Since mine were already used and compressed, the edge might have flared out.

No problemo.  Just saw your post in different forum--if you're using fujis which I've never used but heard are quite firm.  You may want to use thinner for the memory on the front next to the die.  Probably ~ 2mm?  There's no harm in taking yours apart now and evaluate what you want to do before putting down a chunk of money for expensive pads.  Not sure if you saw my edit from earlier but the stock evga pads are very soft and "give" easily.

Good call, think I'll go with 2mm for both sides and see how it turns out.

Well it's impossible to find the 2mm 17 W/mk thermal pads so may just leave the stock stuff since I have seen posts that have decent temps with it.  Just going to crack it open to use liquid metal for the gpu and also liquid tape the dealios (capacitors?) around the chip for protection, not that I have ever seen liquid metal run but not gonna leave them exposed.
 
Also makes me wonder what EVGA uses for their stock thermal pads???

these pads are good but you will need to wait for restock for price to normalize
not the greatest thermal conductivity though. The fujypoly will cost too much at that thickness your better off waiting for the optimus block

Willing to pay but they aren't for sale anywhere even though they do exist, messaged fujypoly directly and also performancepcs to see if they can aquire them and sell them, let them know there's a market for them in modifying the nvidia 3090 series so there's incentive.
 
These seem like a higher performing alternative option at 12 W/mk, hope it's accurate, but in my experience Gelid is solid. : https://www.amazon.com/gp...W9QXMLY5QE3F&psc=1

I know the feeling when looking for Fujipoly. 
 
My go to place to find some was Frozencpu a while back when it's still scarce everywhere else and if you do find them, it's some scalper with jacked up prices. 

Anyone ever have artifacts after long benchmarking runs back to back stress testing when power targets are max in X1? (Stock clocks) Seems like only port royal artifacts. I’m wondering if this is thermal related since it only happens during heatsoak. Are the power controllers poorly cooled? Or not at all? Temps 60's for vrm/mem/core during. PSU 850 G3. 5950x, strix x570-e.

I don't even get artifacts that I've noticed while running Port Royal Stress Test or Time Spy Extreme Stress Test, on my OC/undervolt settings that I've tested to be "stable", definitely not at stock.  
What timestamps are the artifacts occurring at?  Are they consistent or do they change?  Is it flashing or triangles or what kind?
