Need help finding thermal pads for the 880m (U.K)

Hi guys,

I just Prichard IC Diamond as Mr. Fox seems to be getting some nice temps with it. I'll need to replace my thermal pads on the 880m. What thickness is needed? I've taken a look on overclocker, eBay and all the rest, but I'm unable to find pads for the 880m in the U.K. Any help is appreciated.

 

1mm ones from here:
1.0mm Thickness Pads (Thin) |Specialtech UK Water Cooling Shop

You can cut them to size.

 

Thank you. Would you recommend this - Pulse thermal pad

 

Those look good as well. @Widezu, can you share some numbers to try to look around and compare?

 

I recommend the Phobya grey ones:
Phobya 100 x 100 x 1mm Self Adhesive Thermal Pad |Specialtech UK Water Cooling Shop
They have good performance and are also soft. Don't get the white ones, they are rock hard. Heatsinks need a bit of compression to be able to rest on all components comfortably.

 

I went with the below in the end. Thanks for you input

Thank you for getting back to me. I went with your suggestion in the end.

 

Did u put 1 mm or 0, 5mm?

 

Doubled up 0.5mm phobya 7mk pads on the VRAM ext..

 

Overclockers.co.uk have a decent selection too.

 

Be careful with the 7w/mk ones. They were a bit harder than i would like and may actually lift the contact between the heatsink and the die affecting performance.

 

There not all that bad right now. The highest temps I've seen with +120/+800/+0.50mv is 86c. I know 86c leaves a less than desirable temp. But 86c is not bad considering the OC I was running.

I'm actually planning on repairing with Liquid Ultra on my AW 17, and also purchasing 1mm soft pads. What do think?

 

Remember the pads performance is not the important part. It's doing a good enough job and letting the heatsink sit as close as possible.
