Need to repaste and replace pads on my 3090 (appears to be overheating) and dreading the process, especially the pads.

>[After] Max CPU temperature: 96°C

What? Is that normal for macs?

Vaguely unrelated I'm only buying thermal grizzly paste in future...that factory tour they did was super impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsIk_mMrt2w

GPUs are quite easy to repaste. Just order the correct replacement thermal pads in advance and the whole thing is easy.

Yeah I'm optimistic. Just anxious cause paying for a new 24gb nvidia card is something I could do without in this GPU market

Found a yt that for my precise card being repadded though so should be ok
