I wonder if this is why my GPU was having thermal issues...

Was having some overheating issues on my Asus ROG Strix OC RX 580 and finally decided to crack it open to put some new thermal compound on it and found this example of fine Asus Quality Control inside. 

 

Not sure if this would actually affect the thermals much, but it's rather funny IMO.

Was the paste on the film? Nice.

Yes indeed. It's hard to see, but there were actually two pieces of film, one underneath the paste and one around it, clearly saying "Remove before use".

Did you contact asus? That qualifies for a replacement. That is a defective product.

probably the workers in the factory did not check the heatsink properly before installing it onto the card ..
