I feel like a complete idiot. I have no clue what the other op was referencing in there post then. I'm going to order these up and give it a try. Thank you so much for the clarification. I'll report back after I fit them to it. Which would you recommend for the application? I'd like to defer to you guys who are the pros. Thanks again.

Just got the same advice from another post. I'll day the same thing, I feel like a complete idiot for not realizing that. I have no clue what that other op was referencing in their post over on the evga forums. When you say that permanent isn't the case for vram are you just saying that the adhesive will outlast the components it's attached to? I'm going to be ordering everything in the next day or so. If you were me what would you do?

Hey Guys, I posted earlier about this but I think I put it in the wrong section. In short I’m having trouble with thermal pads and heatsinks on a 1080ti Armor OC with a kraken g12 and Corsair H55 watercoolong setup. The heatsinks are falling off of the thermal pads and I wanted to see if it was something I was doing or if it was a bad batch of thermal pads. Right now it’s crashing benchmarks and I’m suspecting that the VRMs are overheating. Thoughts?

Yes, when I did the heat sinks wouldn’t stick. Did I get a bad batch or something? Are they supposed to be gummy or what should the consistency be?

Hello Folks, First post here. I've got a MSI 1080Ti Amor with a G12 and H55 (Corsair) on it. Only problem is that it's crashing the benchmarks and I'm thinking that the VRMs are getting too hot. I originally decided to take the back plate off as I was having a hard time getting the cooling bracket on it with said plate. It's odd because I've seen the Gamer Nexus review and they somehow figured out a way to leave it on or perhaps they dremmeled it. I used Arctic thermal pads on it (https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-4237-Efficient-Conductivity-Handling/dp/B00UYTTLI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530258354&sr=8-1&keywords=arctic+thermal+pad) but it's horrible and the heat sinks (https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Copper-Cooling-Heatsinks-cooler/dp/B00637X42A/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1530258369&sr=8-6&keywords=heatsinks) AND (https://www.amazon.com/XJS-Aluminum-Heatsink-Diffuse-Cooling/dp/B07DHQ6XFH/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1530258783&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=heatsinks+20&psc=1are) falling off. I basically followed this post -> https://forums.evga.com/Kraken-G12-Install-on-1080-Ti-Fe-with-pictures-m2658723.aspx The card won't make it through 3DMark or Superposition without crashing the benchmark. I'm thinking the VRMs are overheating. The core isn't getting over 40-47 degrees. Got any suggestions on thermal pad etc? These ones by Arctic aren't cutting it. Otherwise I can see the potential in the kit. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
