The adventure never ends.... 
 
I'm curious if any other 1080 FTW owners have run into this with recently bought EK full cover waterblocks for the 1080 FTW:
My pair of EK waterblocks came in today, all the way from Slovenia.  The instructions packed with them match what is available on their website and state and show that there are *3* thermal pads included.  One 0.5mm "E" pad - already perf'd/cut into 8 little memory chip sized padlets, One 0.5mm "F" pad that is supposed to go over the VRM's, and a 1.0mm "G" pad that is supposed to go over the MOSFET's.
 
However both of my blocks, direct from EKWB, only came with the "E" pad and the "G" pad in the ziplock bag with the thermal pads in them,  and there is no long, skinny 0.5mm F pad anywhere else in either kit.
 
Have they revised the pads and just not updated their instructions?  I haven't taken my 1080's air coolers off yet.  With the size of pads they say F and G are, I am having  a little trouble understanding how the area they show in the drawing that F and G pads are supposed to cover are going to be covered by the G pad in the kit - especially since F is 0.5mm and G is 1mm....
 
I did notice that under the Step 3 "Cutting Thermal Pads" section of their installation manual, in one place ("the bottom") they actually call both pads Thermal pad F - but up above that in the same section under Replacement thermal pads: they name them  F and G (and have different EAN part numbers for them).
 
I have seen one youtube vid of someone installing an EKWB  on their 1080 FTW and they definitely had 3 pads on theirs.
 
Bottom line:  Is this a case of Bad (old) instructions or missing parts? 
 
Sorry, I'm new to 1080 FTW's.  I know there has been lots of lively debate and drama about the thickness of the thermal pads with the stock aircooling but I was hoping to avoid all that putting EK's on top of them.  If EK changed up on their pads they ought to have some updated instructions on their site.
 
I'm just curious if anyone else ran into this, and what was the outcome?
 
If EK shorted me on thermal pads they might just be getting their kits back.
 
Thanks

My two kits did come with 3 pads, 1 precut for the memory and the other two I had to cut to fit.

He gives info on what different pads to use if you choose to use something different thend what they gave you.. hopefully you can find into on ekwb as to what the dimentions of the pads they gave you.

I confirm both my gtx 1080 came with 3 pads, the precut for ram, two longer one, a 1mm and .5mm.

Glad you found a way to get your missing Pad Faster
 
Unless your into fast disconnects; I agree it seems like a strange - lot of work for you - answer from EK
 
I had bought mine from Performance and 1 of 3 had a missing pad - I feel your pain
 
EK needs to step-up their Production system & QC
