Honestly fed up with my 3080 Ti hitting 105C while gaming this weekend here in Chicago, the stock pads look like oily trash and I'm ready to rip it apart. I'm actually super excited to try those Gelid ones though... are high-performance thermal pads worth the upgrade for GPUs?

TL;DR: Definitely worth it. I used Gelid Solutions GP-Extreme Thermal Pad 12W/mK, just make sure to check exact thickness requirements so you dont lose core contact. Be careful during the teardown tho.

ngl i am in the exact same boat right now and it is stressing me out. those temps are honestly scary. you might want to be really careful before tearing things apart tho... maybe check some teardown guides on youtube first? i saw a great one just by searching 3080 ti pad replacement. just be super careful about the warranty and those tiny screws, dont want you to brick anything.
