Just acquired the card in the title. Since I already have a full custom loop, I want to add it in and was curious if anyone had any info on what thickness pads to go with.

It depends on the block you putting on it. Check the manual of the blocks you are interested. Typically the pads you will need come with the block.
 
Found a pcb pic of the 3060 ti ftw but didn't have time this morning to try to find a 3060 ti XC pcb

what i was saying about comparing the 3060(top) vs 3060ti for the bykski block, seems they are very close, pcb is even the same just those couple different chocks(?) **inductors on the right*. it might work...
*and the extra cap and vrm bits on the left. if the block isnt milled funny and clears those it should work.

i also just realized we kinda tread jacked, sorry op!
**edit, remembered what they were

After looking at the block. Also saying the design is still the same. You will see the 3060 block will need machined to fit the extra cap on the left. Arrow in the picture. If I had one of them I would look into machining it.

As mentioned. OP sorry to threadjack.

yeah thats the bit i was wondering about. was hoping it was milled further up.
 
It's not. I have access to a cnc mill if I had a block. Aliexpress has them.
as long as there isnt a water channel under it, it should be doable then...
might want to shoot them an inquiry email too. see if one is coming.
 
Back to the thread jacking........

After looking at pics of the other side the water passage looks a bit close to the outlet/inlet. I will try to get a block ordered and sent. Then get it clearanced for the cap. Will update on the results. Worse case is I will break through. For my use I will epoxy the hole. If I can get it to fit I will Def get with them on it and see if they will make a change.
