Asus Strix RX5700 XT OC 8GB Thermal Pad Replacement

Hi,

I'm looking for advice on replacing the Thermal Pads on my card. I currently have my card water cooled on a custom loop.
I have the Alphacool water block and I'm currently experiencing artifacts which is intermittent so I'm thinking to try a replacement of GPU paste and pads.

Now, the question I have is that as far as I can see by doing my research on the internet. Is that I need 1.5mm and 2.0mm thickness pads to do the front and back of the card.
Roughly 100x100mm square for both front and back.

Can anyone recommend any on OC that will be good for the job? I've seen thermal grizzly which of course would be excellent but I don't fancy the £30+ price tag for each set I'll need.

Any advice is really recommended.

Thanks in advance to anyone taking time to help me get this sorted.
 
thermalright and gelid do decent thermal pads and are quite a bit cheaper than thermal grizzly too (from memory) i highly rate bykski's if you can get them - requires a bit of googling for UK suppliers.
