Did anyone noticed that there are 2 different thermal pad application guide? 
When you click on the link provided in the 2nd message from your cell, the guide is quite different than what we see in evga's statement. The one on the phone is more extensive with 5 more steps and it has 3 more thermal pads called VRM pads. 
 
I think it asks you to replace VRM pads which are already in place as far as I understand from steps.
 
EVGA,
what are you trying to do??

I think you're actually misreading VRAM as VRM, as in replacing the thermal pads over the memory, which is something we've been including in our Thermal Mod kits that we ship to customers.  Only the first shipment, generally, went out before we began including the VRAM pads with all Thermal Mod kits.

We actually have several versions of the Thermal Mod guide, largely depending on when we completed the guide and which cards the guide is created for.  If you've been following this process from the beginning, then you'll know that we originally only offered thermal pads and thermal paste to customers that requested the kits.  Soon after, we began adding the VRAM pads to the kits, which required a new guide.  There is also a guide for GTX 1060s, which is different than the one you posted, due to a slightly different type of installation.  
 
However, I'll follow up with our web team during this week to update the site to include current versions of the guides for each set of cards, but it will be a short week for us here in Brea, due to the upcoming holiday.
