Depends what games you play, whether you push FPS or stick to monitor refresh limit etc and whether you undervolt or not. My RAM temp rarely get over 95c according to HWInfo. I did contemplate doing the thermal pad replacement but would rather keep my warranty.

I'm very sorry but you are not correctly understanding
When you watch the video then at 3:05 they explain that they got the surface temp shots by removing the backplate which was for demonstration purposes only. They then explicitly mention that the juntion temperature measured at 102C with the cooler properly installed. They mention the backplate reaching 90C but that's measured at the back of the GPU rather than the RAM.
This means with no back plate at all the surface temperature is still 2C cooler than the measured junction temperature with the back plate, it is logical to think with the backplate that the surface temperature of the chips would be significantly lower and all they need is to reduce the temperature by 5C to stay in spec.
Even at 102C this is still under the 110c spec we see bandied about.
To be honest I dont see what all the fuss is about. There is a well known solution you can use. You dont have to do anything at all. Plus it has no short term affects because if it did we would see a 2080ti scale of issues being reported.
Long term who knows but its still 3 years (I think) warranty anyway depending on GPU. In this day and age how many people keep a GPU for that long ? I cant remember last time I had a GPU when the warranty ran out.
If anything it either shows up poor cooling in the case or people with high temps are playing demanding games.

90 is still too hot for me. I am a cooling nutcase.

Playing BF5 last night on full ultra, mine were sitting at 102°c according to GPU-Z

Thanks. I'm on v7.00-.. but it's not there for me.
It’s got to be there in amongst the GPU readings somewhere. It may not cite VRAM but it definitely says Memory Junction Temp.

Maybe I'm being blind. Here's what I'm looking at:
Nope, you’re right. I’d try uninstalling it and installing the latest beta instead.

Did as you suggested and I can see it now plus a whole host of other GPU related temps that were previously absent. I do a little bit of mining on my card when I'm not gaming but have been very worried about doing any harm. I have the card downclocked so it runs at 51 and 59 degrees hotspot but was concerned about VRAM temps. I don't run the VRAM overclocked for mining even though I could get a better hash rate if I did. With my settings the VRAM junction temp is at 76 degrees to that's ok I guess.
Thanks for your help.
