Repasting Gainward RTX 3090 Phantom +

[Duck]

Hi all,

I'm wanting to repaste and change out the thermal pads on my Gainward RTX3090 Phantom + (Link below for exact card)

Link: Products :: Gainward GeForce RTX™ 3090 Phantom+

The card gets pretty toasty during short gaming sessions (86C - 88C) with junction temps getting to 105C and I'm wanting to prolong its lifespan where I can.

From what I see online apparently, this is just a norm 3090 defect.

Watched a YT video about doing the above but there was mention that if you use the wrong pads, they become a mush.

(

at 4:33 min where it's said)

Can anyone please recommend pads and/or paste I can use that won't end up screwing up my card lol?

Thanks in advance for any help
