Measuring GPU thermal pads for replacement (RTX 3080)

This video is edited in part from the first video in our upcoming Western Digital BLACKOUT modded build series coming later this week. In this video James shows not only how to work out which screws go into which holes on this ASUS RTX3080 graphics card, but he also explains how to work out how to replace thermal pads on a graphics card, in case you lose some of your own.
