Asus responded...

I'm lazy with 8 hours of sleep in total over the last 3 and a half days... so I used a cheatcode and used Google translate, is some grammar is weird, that's why.

Here is the response.

Dear Mr. van Os,

Thank you for contacting Asus technical support.
My name is Pierre and I will help you with your question.

See More

From your email I understand that you are looking for technical documentation of this card.

I understand that you want to renew the cooling paste and such on your card. Unfortunately, Asus does not offer any further support in this. The documentation in question also contains sensitive information that we cannot share.

We can therefore unfortunately not provide you with this requested information and can only request that you seek information from hardware forums and third parties.

The white version of the Strix is ​​the same as the regular version, so I expect that the following website can help you further.

thermalpad.eu/thermal-pad-sizes/asus-rog-strix-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-oc/?srsltid=AfmBOoq6IoeoqqoJ_fT8sM102RDl2TGFC2F4wbpQTPJ5PPxHvf0om4SJ

If your question has not been answered to your satisfaction, please respond to this email.
We are always at your disposal. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,
Pierre

Funny, they won't give the specs because of "sensitive" information, seriously.. it's a GPU based on old architecture which is not anywhere near what the current gen is, whatever "secret"they have it's most likely out there on the world wide web lol.
Also funny they put the link the thermalpad dot EU as reference so I guess that's not a secret haha.

Not the first time I have heard them citing "sensitive information" or similar.
Gamers Nexus I think it was brought up the same in one of their videos.

Let's test the quality of service @ Asus.
My 3080 is almost 3 years old (bought April 22nd 2022).
I want to repaste it but I just know a lot of thermal pads will not like it and will most likely rip. So I asked ASUS if they can help me with a schematic with pad thickness. I want to order new pads but yea I'm not going in deep by ordering every size lol.

I'm seriously doubting they will sent me a supportive answer lol, but hey, cant hurt to ask lol.

I should repaste mine again soon. It does have thermal pads of various thickness. I was just careful not to damage them, let them be whatever side they decided to stay on, heatsink, or RAM/VRM. No need to mess with them if just repasting the GPU. It's a good idea to clean it as best you can of any dust before you start dissassembly, because it will get on the pads and make them less effective.

I have a Gigabyte GPU I need to do the same with it, a 2070 Super.
Someone found an online guide for me, but I suppose I will also ask Gigabyte to see how they respond to the request.

Mine I bought second-hand, it was already in need of it then.
So should give me a nice improvement to noise and thermals.

Not sure how close these are? From what I'm seeing the white edition had much better thermals but doesn't seem to be listed. Yeah what's the worse they say no? Lol thermalpad.eu/thermal-pad-sizes/asus-r…

Mom's back at the rehabilitation center after being released from the hospital, continueing her physical therapy asap, which means 2 times physical therapy (mobilization), 2 times physical therapy for strength, mental counsiling 2 times per week, and guidance from a pastor which does his rounds to those who need it in that building.

Basicly mom's days are pretty full and she's legit tired at the end of the week, when weekend comes she thinks.. finally a weekend of not doing much. She needs those 2… See More

Hmm, the RTX 5070Ti's been dropping in price over here, at least.. some models. There's even one for under a 1000 Euro's. STill a huge amount of money but they're not that outlandishly priced compared to the RX 9070XT's.

AMD is really around NVidia's neck like a boa constrictor, sales litterally have gone down to almost 0 because pretty much all models were for sale and never out of stock.. and since NVidia made what.. 5 units per brand lol..
The price was around 1300 and up Euro's before which is… See More

insane, now for 969 you can buy one but most are around the 1100 Euro mark now which is still a significant pricedrop.

I hope AMD and NVidia will battle eachother hard and make prices reach more towards MSRP which is more fiction then reality over here.

I got mine through a trusted seller. Pretty much the only way to stay within MSRP for everything else. They have a set reserve of parts towards prebuilts that will always stay at MSRP. I only got lucky because mine arrived an hour before we got there so most of the team at the store didn't even know it had come in. Solid upgrade at MSRP lolol. Shelf price there wasn't as bad as sellers like BestBuy but I would not have gotten it otherwise. $800 USD for the 70ti which is pretty damn close. I bet a… See More

lot of the recent press is what's going on with sales. Now that people are seeing what AMD put out and it's such a minor difference currently in output that it only makes sense to get whichever is being sold at MSRP but I think upscaling and all that nvidia tech is only going to be more prevalent in games going forward. Love seeing AMD catch up so quick with RT and FSR seems to be getting quite close to DLSS in some games as well. What a battle! What's good for us is nVidia needs a slap once in awhile to show them its a competitive market not the nVidia show. Actually getting them to apologize is hilarious haha.

Well, with a x070, Ti or not at more than 700, they can rot on the shelves.

My mom had emergency surgery yesterday she's doing okay... there was a loose piece of bone in her wound, but her new flesh was covering it for 95%..

there was a significant chance on infections so they had to put her in the emergency surgical rotation so she had only a few days wait instead of a cpl of months .
