One thing you can also do is to message EVGA support and they will send you the correct thickness pads as well!

@@JohnLCharette as of 2023 October they still do. I had to repaste my card due to ungodly temps and one of my thermal pads stretched during disassembly and the thickness was messed up. At the very least their support will give you the correct dimensions for the thermal pads of each model

Might be a tad bit late, but each version of a same card can have different pad thicknesses depending on how asus, evga etc did their radiator@@fpshooterful best way is either you measure it as precise as possible when opening it, or scour the internet for info
