Can anyone confirm the Pad Sizes for a 3090 Ultra?

Has anyone tried out thermal putty? 10W/m-K silicone. Since it's putty you can form it to any shape or thickness you want.

What pads would you guys recommand for the front side of the PCB ? (where the GPU die actually is)
I've heard Gelid Extreme is good because it's quite soft.
 
It's too bad there is no tutorial yet with pads recommandations and exact placements :/
 

And if you're going to be upgrading your pads anyway, I'd recommend this brand with 17 W/mK: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZSELP3O/?pldnSite=1 I'm not sure if they make it in 2.5 or larger tho

I'm so sick of this!

Me too.... So sick of it.

For EVGA 3090 FTW:
 
Do not use thermal pads, they do not perform as well as the stock thermal gel that EVGA uses. I tried various thermal pads (over $100 worth) and I could not get better memory junction temperatures then stock. You must use thermal putty.

This is what I used TG-PP10-50 (if you are American, use digikey.com web site to buy. I used digikey.ca to buy):


 
It's expensive, but it works way better then thermal pads. You will need lots, it took 20g just to do the backplate. If you're redoing the entire card order 50g (maybe even 100g).

For the GPU use a good thermal paste, like noctula.
 
Edit:
for some reason I can't post a URL link to digikey. I will post picture.
