Does anyone know thickness size of thermal pads on RX580 8 Armor OC?

Basically what’s in the title, I saw a post here with detailed manuals and sizes of thermal pads for other gpu’s, but I didn’t find anything about Rx580

Sorry forgot to put the word “thermal pads” I’m looking for the size of thermal pads, thanks for the reply though.

0.5mm
Why do you ask?

Mine is almost 6 years old, I’m planning on building new pc and doing maintenance for my rx580, because I’m not changing it, since it’s a great gpu. I want to be precise and follow manufacturers guidelines.

Anything of good quality in the 0.50 - 0.75mm range will work just fine.
good luck

Hi there, since it says to create new topic requesting details and I’ve already created this one, can I just post the photo of my gpu here or screenshot from the page of registered products?

My recommendation did not change: anything of good quality in the 0.50 - 0.75mm range will work just fine.
In other words: 0.50-0.75mm with a bit more pressure gives better results than 1.5mm with lower pressure.
Especially when you're dealing with older components.
As general rule: the thermal pad should always be as thin as possible.

Do you know if it’s a good idea to use phase changing pads like PTM7950 instead of the regular ones?

They provide better results and reliability in the 45-150˚C temp range.
But PTM7950 thickness is only 0.2mm, so you need even higher pressure.

I thought about stacking them

If you like experimenting, 2-3 should do the trick.
Again, they are very reliable.

Thank you guys for the help, I didn’t expect fast answers
