So after 'squeezing' my graphics my mem temps went 5 degrees higher - oops. So went through the repad process. As i've never taken apart a GPU like this before I took my time. Far too much time, a few mistakes here and there, but the result is fantastic. I used Gelid Extreme 1.5mm and 2mm and TF8 thermal paste. Did the back and front of the card.
Gaming Memory temps max out at 79 degrees (haven't tried ray traced games yet0.
Mining at 100MH/s now tops out at 82 degrees. My FTW3080 had decent thermal pads and topped out at 90MH/s with 96 degrees. The awful stock 3090 couldn't go over 87MH/s without hitting 100 degrees.
All my other workloads will never top mining in terms of load on the memory so as long as the temps hold up very happy.
It's just a shame after spending £1500 you have to spend hours dismantling and rebuilding the card not to mention spending money on thermal pads and paste..
