4070 Ventus 3X Gen 1 (non-E edition)

[observantone1158b02e2]

I'm noticing that my temps are 80-90C, and my hotspot is 100C+. 114-125 isn't unheard of.
After reading up on this product, it would seem that there were no thermal pads on the VRMs, and finding any information on the specifications for replacement pads is.....more than a task lol.

Does anyone have the specs for this card?
I can see the E version, and I'm not sure if they changed anything.
I'm really trying to get these temps under control

Thank you for your time!

Hi
You can get thermal pads dimensions here:

Non E version seems to be a bit lighter (~ 23 grams). I'll see if I can find out whats the difference.

Also bear in mind that disassembling the card MAY void your warranty.

From a friend I was told the "E" version is slightly improved in terms of structural integrity and thermals.

Cooling isn't an issue - Thermaltake The Tower 900, dual exhaust on top, two out back, radiators intake from the right side.
This case is massive, and it has never been a factor in overheating (previously from a 1950x threadripper (now a 5900x))

I've noticed that the card just gets hot. Nothing I do can fix it. I've used thermal pads on the VRMs to cool them (stacked to touch the fins), AND I've repasted (I'm no noob lol).

This card just runs hot. Running Overwatch 2 it just runs hot.
Playing PUBG it doesn't run as hot, but it's still hot.
