My last wish is to repaste/repad my GPU...
... then when i want i can do it with my 4070-ti with ease (once trained all always becomes easier).

It lost 4<7°c when i applied MX4 to the chip, but this time i'll use MX5 and change the therm pads too.

VRAMs can be cut out: 80x40x2mm scissor
Set of three VRAMs #1: 40x15x2mm
Set of three VRAMs #2: 40x15x2mm
Set of two VRAMs: 25x15x2mm


The EVGA 3060 XC has two sets of three modules, each roughly is 40x15x2mm and has an additional set of two modules with size of 25x15x2mm.

For 3060XC :

2x2cm (1mm ?) backplate
