Asus Rog Strix 3080 Thermal Pads and Fan Replacement

Hi Everyone!!

This is a tutorial on how to Replace a Fan, Thermal Pad and Thermal Paste on your ASUS ROG Strix 3080, can also be used for 3080TI or 3090.

I had one of the fans wobbling and very high Junction Temperatures so my Vrams were asking for a replacement 😁.

I have found throughout doing this procedure several times that the best option is to change Vrams thermal pads and install them also on gpu's backplate. The one that gave me the best results is Thermalright Extreme Odyssey and Noctua Thermal Paste.

You could also change the smaller pads, but they are usually in great shape and don't get hot enough so no need to change them.

Keep in mind if you want to change all of them you are going to need several sizes. 1mm 1.5mm etc.

As you can see at the end of the Video I was able to lower the Junction Temperatures from 100 degrees celsius from its OEM pads to 76 degrees celsius, so that's quite the improvement.

This is everything you need for this process:
