Stacking Thermal Pads

[gamecat]

Hi all,

Quick question. I now have a 30C delta on my 4080 super so I'm looking to repaste. I found a video demonstrating it for my exact card (4080 super asus TUF) but the guy in the video used 2mm and 2.5mm thermal pads and I can't find a reputable brand that sells 2.5mm. I'd like to know what the hive minds thoughts are about stacking a 2mm with a 0.5mm thermal pad to achieve the same depth. Or does anyone have a link to 2.5mm pads from a reputable supplier.

You should be able to re-use the pads so long as you're careful when taking the heatsink off, just leave them on the ram or heatsink whichever they stick too.

Gelid GP-Extreme do 2.5 pads.

Another option is thermal putty, should be good for up to 3mm. Thermal grizzly or Upsiren make decent putty.
