Description

**If you want to replace thermal pads for a different 3070 Ti/3080/3080 Ti or 3090 model we can offer to take mail-in cards so that we can take measurements and install pads for free. Please contact us if you're interested**
Custom cut set of thermal pads for
MSI RTX 3070 Ti Gaming X
graphics card models.
DOES NOT FIT ANY OTHER MODEL except those listed below.
If you are unsure of the model you have, please message us and we'll help check.

Note that stock pads do not come with 'G' but we've included as several other models have a pad on here and the heatsink even has a marking for a pad to be placed there
4x Nylon Washers will be included to place under the screws on the backplate that secure the heatsink to the core die. Without these washers you will get high core temperatures as our pads are a little harder than stock pads (higher thermal conductivity usually requires pads to be harder)
The last picture shows where these washers need to be installed
Thermal Conductivity - 20 W/mK
Color - Grey
Note the blue color is vinyl we cut to label each pad. Color in listing is red but may vary
Testing/Validation
All of our pad sets are tested and personally installed in our test machine to run for 24 hours in order to validate performance.
The pads dropped the memory temps for our 3070 Ti Gaming X by about 20-22C.
Picture of this comparison is shown in the last photo of the listing. Please note that our GPU was a previously used one and just barely overheating (no signs of oil leaking from stock pads). We did notice the stock backplate pads did
NOT
have the plastic material removed from the factory which likely hampered stock performance significantly.
Description
These are high quality premium thermal pads that have thermal conductivity of 17W/mK or higher. Pad thickness has been measured to match stock pads and professionally and cut out to fit.
The pads are labeled to let you know which pad is which. Pictures in the listing indicate where each pad goes. Please see 4th picture for where pad J goes.
Please note that the thermal paste on the GPU die needs to be replaced if you replace the thermal pads. Thermal paste is not included in this listing and should be purchased separetely. If your core temps are high after servicing, most likely your spring tension screws need replacing or nylon washers should be used to increase mounting pressure.
