Nice found !

Need to find some high w/my pads that are super soft.
Thanks for the post!

My friend. Did you follow up with evga regarding the thermal pad size for vram, vrm, and mosfet? Also, what is your max gpu memory junction temperature? Mine is reaching 90 degrees in games even though the core gpu is below 50 degrees. Please your reply is highly apperciated.

Anyone tried removing backplate and sticking the heatsink right on the chips ?

I initially used AIKENUO thermal pads 1mm/2mm/3mm for the GPU side and 3mm for the backside. This led to ~80mh/s consistently with gpu memory junction throttling at 110 degrees.
 
So I bought 3 packs of fujipoly 1.5mm and replaced all the AIKENUO pads on the side with the die. I precompressed a pad with a dough roller and stacked it on top of a regular 1.5mm for the 4 locations around the die. I used 1.5mm over the grey LR22 things and I needed to use 3mm/4.5mm on the skinny line adjacent to the LR22. Then I applied a more than adequate amount of thermal paste on to the die (MX-4).
 
Close everything up and check for gaps on the side using light and I had to apply thermal paste to fill any spots so there is full contact with the heatsink. This used all 3 packs so I had to keep the same AIKENUO thermal pads on the back side. These were stacked to 4.5mm lol and I used a clamp to compress the backplate. Finally I used a cooper heatsinks above the backplate over the pads and I am back to a consistent 115 mh/s
 
I was initially averaging around 110mh/s with my stock 3090 and I def learned that if it aint broke, dont fix it. I must have taken my gpu apart and put it back together at least 20 times 🤦‍♂️

Hi, friend I am pleased to know that since I arrived at the correct configuration of heating pads, I wanted to know how many packages of heating pads you bought, to buy the correct ones since they take time on aliexpress

Hello first time 3090 owner, so I got the XC3 and need the URLs to purchase the best pads I can get for it. Can anyone do me the favor of linking the or giving me the names and where each ones are supposed to be placed? Just want to make sure I do not damage the card and yes I read OPs post and the thread, just trying to make sure I get this all clear and straight in my mind.

EVGA's JacobF listed the following: Memory is 2.25mm, VRM 2.85mm, and back VRAM is 2mm. GDDR6X runs hotter than GDDR6 just by design - I've seen my temps hit 100+ before for memory, and the specs say throttling starts at 110C.
If you decide not to repad the card, you can add heatsinks to your backplate to increase surface area to aid cooling.

Sorry for the delay; I wanted to confirm something with the HYBRID cards/kits.

Has anyone managed to get the replacement 2.25mm pads from EVGA, or anywhere else on the planet?
