Thermal pad thickness recommendation for GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G?
Thermal pad thickness recommendation for GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G?
I would simply purchase a variety pack of thermal pads and adjust the thickness according to the specific area you disassemble. There are probably various sizes available for different parts of the cooler. For example, buy a pack that contains 1mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm sections and then cut them to fit.
Hello everyone.
I realize it's been a while since my last post, but back then I received a solid offer for a new video card. Instead of just swapping out the pads of the old one, I ended up buying a new one. Now I'm thinking about giving my old card to a child and would appreciate some advice.
The main question is: should I restore the components (as shown in the photo) to their original condition?
The old pads are quite soft and oily, which you can see in the pictures. It seems the original size was around 2.0 mm—likely between 1.5 mm and 1.8 mm on the flat side, and maybe 1.2–1.3 mm on the thinner side.
I have a Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8 with 1.5 mm pads (the pink ones in the photos), and they look denser and harder than the originals.
Can I use them or stack them up to 2.0 mm, or should I get a new 2.0 mm Grizzly or another softer brand?
Edit: I really hope someone can help me because the child is due in ten days.
Thanks.
