I'm looking for the right size thermal pads for my Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super OC 6GB. I've come across a lot of conflicting information online and I want to make sure I get the correct sizes for repadding the GPU. Any advice would be appreciated!

Why not just buy a new GPU instead? Might save you a lot of hassle!
I definitely recommend opening it up to measure if you can. Just keep in mind that if you don't want to risk being GPU-less while you figure it out, you might want to consider using thermal putty instead. It can be a simpler alternative!
I measured best I could, but I still think I might have messed up. I'll think about the thermal putty option too.
The best approach is to open up your GPU and measure the pads directly. You're going to have to disassemble it for the replacement anyway, so it's the most reliable way to get the exact sizes you need. Just make sure to be careful when taking it apart!
Yeah, I usually just cut the thermal pads to fit, it can work pretty well.
I did that too, but now I’m worried my temps are higher than they should be. Not sure if I measured right.
I would if the prices weren’t through the roof right now!
