Thought I'd post my experience on using Ali Express PTM7950 and Upsiren 1mm 21W Thermal Pads on Vram. Before PTM7950 with stock paste the gpu would be at 2814MHZ GPU and 2514MHZ Memory and Hotspot would max out at about 90-93C running Time Spy Default.

After at 2914MHZ GPU and 2700MHZ Memory with 24C Ambient at 3 Days i get 78.7C Hotspot running default Time Spy. Since then its dropped a little bit more with a screw tightening. I bought the 80x80 as it took a couple tries to get it right but think it would be easier next time. Definately put in fridge for an hour 1st as its like peeling off one of those kids tatoo transfers very thin.

So the memory had thermal pads and not putty? I'm worried about opening up my 7900xt if it's a mess in there.

I have previously repasted a 6700xt and new thermal pads, even doing the big one on back of GPU core to touch backplate. Previous cards it was just thermal paste everything.

If your memory temps are fine you don't have to install new thermal pads. Unless they will tear while unmounting, but usually they are reusable.
