You use Thermal Pads not Thermal paste. There is a reason for it mate.

But viscous thermal paste desinged for thermal pad replacement. Why is this a bad idea to use it for VRM's and mem chips?

Because if it's conductive then will short out stuff. So that's why it's important to use thermal pads. Removing certain thermal pads even if they are replacements, can cause overheating issues.

I asked for one technician about K5 PRO.. " K5 PRO can repalce all kinds of thermal pads up to 3.5mm thick. It is not electrically conductve so it doesn't cause any problems and can be cleaned easily with dry paper. " I thinking about that paste, because i don't know GTX 280 the thickness of the thermal pads :/
