My 9070XT Taichi was having very high Vram temps (98-100). So I decided to open it up and replace the pads along with the paste.
TLDR : 2mm thick pads for the Vram, there are already pads for the PCB backside and backplate stock.
I used Honeywell TGP8000PT (I prefer pads instead of putty, but of course putty probably will work even better)
Core was repasted with PTM7958SP, stock TIM is indeed also PTM.
I saw a ~10 degrees drop on the Vram temperatures and practically identical temperature on the core.

Good job but, if it is new, why bother, just use warranty. I did repaste my rx 6000 series last month but a 9070xt is still coveredd.
Good boy! Treat her right and she’ll serve you long.
