For a while I wanted to answer the question of are thermal pads better than paste? I pit Innovative Cooling ( IC Graphite) and Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut against some of my favourite thermal pastes. Arctic MX-5, Noctua NT-H2 and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

Ever since i got this 3080ti I wanted to do something about the memory temps. They were too high for my peace of mind. When I looked at buying the needed pads it would have cost me almost $100 CAD for everything I used in this video. I personally wanted to know, "Are New GPU Thermal Pads Worth It" So I held off until GELID contacted me. Thanks for the pads! Are they the best GPU thermal pads?

NVIDIA Broadcast is a neat tool however it seems to be quite a hog when it comes to GPU power consumption. So in the video I look at the effect NVIDIA broadcast has on GPU performance.

There are a few things I probably should have talked about in this video but I wanted to keep it short. A couple examples may be the effect on the extra cooling to cause the stock fans to run slower than they normally would and the relatively slow fan that I used. Short answers to both of those are ease of use and practicality.
