My 6900 XT seems to have quite the delta between the hotspot vs other sensors under load (65-70C vs 95-100C hot spot), so I'm looking at re-pasting and might as well do the thermal pads while I'm there.

Unfortunately it seems like slim pickings on the ground in NZ; anyone know of local suppliers that carry a range of reputable pads? ie. known brands like Thermalright, Gelid, Alphacool

The only places I can find with local stock are ExtremePC with some Thermalright pads, but unfortunately they only have 0.5mm and 1mm thickness pads, and from my research I primarily need 1.5mm and 2mm.

I looked at Element14 and Digikey, but for the prices they want for a single sheet of low performing pad (<5w\mk), I'd be better taking my chances with Aliexpress.

Thermalright brand, extreme odyssey pads, a sheet of 2mm and a sheet of 3mm, both 85x45 mm in size.

if that’s not quite enough I still got a partial sheet in both sizes as well.

I am one of the sellers that sells 3KS thermal pads on trademe, 12.8w/mk. They are actually high quality and effectively the same as Thermalright etc. Having sold several hundred of these and also used them myself in 40+ cards (GPU Miner)

Feel free to flick me a message with what you need and i can sort you a deal. Think i have all sizes bar 2mm at the moment (though have 2.5mm)
