This is not the most professional guide to replace the thermal pads on an RTX 2080 Super Founder’s Edition. All the content in this video and steps taken to replace the thermal pads are my own method. Kindly do your own research before you try it out. I would like to make it clear that even if you follow my steps, many things can go wrong; hence, I do not hold responsibility for any damage incurred during any such procedures performed by anyone. Kindly view this video as a guide but not as a definitive procedure on how to replace a thermal pad.
