Red Devil rx580 thermal pads

[Evadae]

About to receive a used rx580 8gb Red Devil card and planning to replace the thermal paste & pads when cleaning it but I can't find what pads thickness I'll need for the vrm/ram.

Anyone knows anything about that?

Not really something that often gets noted even if a site takes the card apart. Just measure them yourself when you get it. Though you'd be just as well leaving the current ones in place really. The soft ones that almost all graphics cards use aren't something that wear out. It's only those annoying hard, clay-like ones that are found on cards like the reference Vega 56/64 that are a pain in the bum, since they tend to break up when you remove the cooler. Or the fabric ones that Nvidia stick on their reference cards for the same reason.

Just learned that through reddit, I thought they worked kinda like paste and needed to be changed regularly.

The card is well maintained and not running to hot so I'll wait and redo the paste a bit later. Thanks for the info tho!

Christ who replaces paste regularly?

I change paste once every 10 years or so

I only ever changed it when I changed the cooler, but maybe I've been lucky with cards.
