Been reading up on replacing the thermal pads for this model of MSI, Ventus x3, its hot spot sits at 97 when playing DOTA, or Battlefield.
Recently, had to remove my motherboard, so cleaned everything, closer inspection of my gpu, I realized oil over the PCB, seems to be the thermal pads? Time to swap them out then. The question is, what size? I see so many options out there and I have no idea what sheet size to go for, 2mm seems to be a good thickness, as far as the overall sheet size, well I need your insight fellow Carbies
That in mind, cost is considered, which brand should I consider?
