Hey there, I noticed your GPU is heating up a bit more than usual, especially around the memory modules. MSI seems to have trimmed back the thermal pads quite a bit—only about 35% coverage on this model. I’m having trouble finding the right pads online; some sites mention 2mm thickness while others say 1.5mm. If it’s 2mm, I don’t see any suitable options. There are also cheaper Chinese versions available, but I’m not sure if they’re worth the risk. Anyone have suggestions or recommendations? Since you’re in Spain, buying from the US isn’t an option for me. Thanks in advance!
