3090 FE Thermal Pad Mod (-20°C) | Improve your mining hashrate!

In this video, I'll show you step by step how to replace the thermal pad of the 3090 FE, including a complete teardown and the dimensions of each pad to cut. You'll see the drop in temperature and increase in Ethereum hashrate after the mod at the end of the video.
Go check my other video focused on how to unplug the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5a8EbhVYSI

N.B: I'm aware that I did touch the pads with my fingers in the video which you should generally avoid doing but what you don't see is that I actually clean my fingers between each shots.
Also, you should also change the thermal paste on the GPU. I didn't receive mine in time to make the video.
