Thermal pad specs for a 2070

[mclste]

Hi there I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm hoping someone has the answer to this:
so my fans have decided to dry out and cause a grinding noise, i'm going to take a stab at re-lubing them (i've bought a spare set just in case i'm too heavy handed)
so while I am at that I may as well re-do the pads and paste, does anyone know the thickness of the pads so I can avoid stacking thinner ones together? I have a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Windforce X2 and although I have raised a ticket with Gigabyte to ask this, they are taking their time to respond.

thanks for any info,

mclste

If no one can help you, I would suggest searching for teardown or repair videos. You can sometimes get lucky.

I've found tear downs with explanations of the triple fan version but sadly not for my version or if I have it's one of those silent tear downs where there is no explanation. I will keep looking to see and hopefully Gigabyte reply.

Please post any reply you get in here for posterity!

Still No reply from Gigabyte, (although I've heard that's pretty normal.) have bought just about every thickness of thermal pad so I'll just wing it and see and post what I used once I get round to it.

When in doubt, buy them all!
