    3080 FE (2022 drop) recommended thermal pad size + paste

    Thank you. I'll take your advice and only do the front of the card with 1.5mm gelid ultimate. The main goal is to get the memory under 90-95c while gaming/mining and to maybe improve the GPU temp a bit. Out of curiosity how much does adding pads to the back help and after swapping the pads on...

    3080 FE (2022 drop) recommended thermal pad size + paste

    Thanks dude. 1.5mm on the GPU side, 2mm on the back but leave the really thin pad. Lets hope this works! Is nvidias policy in terms o a future fault that as long as you return the card complete, UNDAMAGED and the modification is found to not be the reason of the fault that they will honor the...

    3080 FE (2022 drop) recommended thermal pad size + paste

    Thanks!!! so I'll just used gelid ultimate 1.5mm on all the areas show in the pictures of that guide. If I was to do the backplate do you know what size gelid ultimates I should use? I wish there was an update date guide online for this :/.

    3080 FE (2022 drop) recommended thermal pad size + paste

    Thank you. Did you use 1.5mm ultimate on both the front and back or did you use 2mm for the backplate side? As for the front side did you place those 1.5mm pads everywhere or just like shown below? https://thermalpad.eu/thermal-pad-sizes/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-founders-edition/

    3080 FE (2022 drop) recommended thermal pad size + paste

    Firstly, so I have some noctua Nt-H2, will this be fine for the repaste job? For the GPU die side I think 1.5mm gelid ultimate is fine all round but what about the back-plate side? thanks guys.

    AKG 712 vs DT 1990

    Thanks for the detailed reply. If you had to pick one headphone out of the ones you've suggested for the best all rounder that maybe leans towards competitive gaming which would it be? The way you described the 712 and dt 1990 matches what I've read online. As for a dacamp, will the zen dac...

    AKG 712 vs DT 1990

    Hey I'm looking for a good pair of headphones for competitive + casual gaming. I generally listen to rock music. I know for competitive you want little to no bass but I'm ok with it as I want an all rounder which is why I'm leaning towards these headphones. I already have the ifi zen dac but...

    5950X £960? Nah mate

    Correct, OCUk doesn't have a monopoly.

    5950X £960? Nah mate

    If you looked in the right places today (and now as I type this) you could find 5950x for pretty much MSRP.

    3080 With A i7-6700K

    So my rm750x (2018 model) comes with 2 x daisy chain 8 pin cables for a GPU. Will i run into problems if I buy a 3080 with 3x8pin connections as I'll have to use one of the daisy chains? Thanks

    Creative g6 Vs fiio k5 pro. Stereo Vs SBX

    @EsaT The x2hrs are bad for imaging and detail I can confirm. I still use my Astros for competitive. He's right about things seeming closer or further away like footsteps. Even at £109 I'd struggle to recommend them for critical listening. I'm guessing they're over hyped as x2s are people's...
