limit of 5?! I have a 3070ti a 3080 hybrid and 2 3090's. when the hybrid kits become available again I plan to buy 2 for my 3090's. I will BLOW through those 5 doses on that alone if I don't go heavy...... annoying

Get k5 pro viscous thermal paste off of Amazon.

comparable performance? I also thought "putty" and "paste" were different? EVGA uses "putty" on the Vram backplate where most see the spike/rise in temps after hybrid swap

This is a putty, it’s just called paste, and performance on these would be comparable.

I'm guessing you just put a pea on each part?

There is no putty on the back of the card/backplate, Evga expects us to re-use the thermal pads that were already installed with the air cooler.
 
I'm curious if it would be better to use the putty on the front side VRM vs using the thermal pads that come with the Hybrid kit.

Keep in mind that you need a hell of a lot more than 8g to do a single 3090.  I'm not even sure if a 50g syringe of TG 10 w/mk thermal putty can do a full 3090 on both sides.

No... This isn't meant for the entire card, so you wouldn't want to do whatever it is you are attempting to say here.  This only goes on one component and THAT IS IT. Not on the VRM, Not on the VRAM, front of back, and Not on the core.  This only goes on the back of the inductors, nothing else.

A lot folks refer to the inductors as the VRM as they are part of the VRM. So rare to see people say inductors, mosfets, capacitors. The VRM is made up of multiple components. But yes I'd only recommend the putty to be used on the inductors.   

Is maintenance allowed for cards still under warranty? 

Also, the EVGA price is for 8g where as the Amazon price of $8.99 is only for 2g of the K5 paste!!

I am wondering this too.
