Asus TUF 4070 TI Thermal Pad Thickness?

Planning on repasting my ASUS TUF 4070 TI, but cannot find any information related to the thickness of the thermal pads on the TUF 4070 TI. Does anyone know? Cheers!

Hey! Thanks for thinking of me! Sadly that is the ProART model, which I am not sure if it uses thermal pads with the same thickness as the TUF model

did you ever figure out the sizes? if not im about too try to-do this when the tools and parts come in today ordered a caliper and a bunch of sizes, ill report back. fairly sure i have this card model the non super version.

Not really. If you could tell me I'd appreciate it!

2.0mm on the vram 1.0mm on the vrm 1.5mm on the capacitor looking things. Hope it helps :D

What a champion Thanks!!

No problem, so far so good. stress test tools and benchmarks can still get that darn hotspot slightly past 100 degrees. but good news is in general and so far in games I've noticed a good decrease in hot spot temps after replacing the pads.
Core clock is overall down too, replaced the paste with PTM7950 so hopefully ill never need to repaste this card ever again till it dies or is replaced :D

PTM needs a few thermal cycles before it works at its best! Wait a couple days and your temps might be better

I forgot about that, went and sped up the process a bit and already waaaay down, just RTX Super Resolution used to shoot up to 80c on the hotspot now its keeping steady at 50-55c in use! thx for the reminder. this stuff is magic! only wish my expensive GPU came with it already xD
