WATCH THIS! Before Changing RTX 3080 and 3090 Thermal Pads. (Especially Palit Owners)

While you can definitely get great results from changing out thermal pads in your RTX 3080 and 3090, every card is built different. In this video, I talk about the difficulty of changing the thermal pads in the Palit RTX 3080 Gaming Pro and how after changing the pads, there was negligible difference (but at least it wasn't worse).

If you have any questions about changing thermal pads, please leave a comment and I'll try and help you out if I can.

The pads used were Thermalright Odyssey Pads - Here's a non affiliated Amazon link -
