Ah yes, I can see that in your photo. Definitely no fibres like that on my factory pad, it was quite soft and spongy. The Thermalright pad I replaced it with is quite similar, although rated at 12.8 W/mK. I think the glued on acrylic cover was a significant factor with my motherboard.

This may be slightly controversial, but one thing about this is that it's a bad idea to buy one of Nvidia's own GPUs if slot mounting, better to get a Strix/TUF or any of the partner cards that has a reasonably standard cooler. The Strix & TUF coolers, for example, exhaust some of the GPU cooling air over the chipset when slot-mounted. That air is warm, but still cooler than the PCIe 4 chipsets, and does provide some cooling for them. Nvidia's own cooler design basically just blocks the chipset cooling, essentially a design flaw in their cards when the chipset will be under the GPU on the majority of mainstream boards.
Also, front mounting the GPU does make a big difference. The X570S in my Crosshair VIII Extreme runs about 5 to 10C cooler with the Strix GPU front mounted in the case.

Spent some time to upgrade the CPU from i9-12900 to i9-13900.
Took the opportunity to improve the PCH temperature by doing the following:
Adjust power plan to “Maximum Power Savings�
PCH temperature dropped from 80 degrees Celsius to 57 degrees Celsius
Replace PCH thermal pad and remove plastic decorative piece from the heat sink
The temperature has dropped from 57 degrees Celsius to 46 degrees Celsius.
Note that all the MVME slots are fully installed with SSDs.
