Hi everyone,
Just checking if I should add thermal pads to my new GTX980M (Alienware 18). I haven’t used them for a few weeks and want to make sure they’re safe. Please let me know. Thanks!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
I was wondering if you should add thermal pads to your new GTX980M.
You should definitely use them where the cooling assembly isn't fully seated on the heat sink. This might be due to a degraded GPU lifespan or ongoing thermal throttling.

Also, is there any way to monitor all the GPU chips temperature? (I only know how to see the main processor of the GPU temp through task manager)
