    The thermal compound on my GTX 1080 was dry and chalky when I removed the cooler to put on a Kryographics GPU block. Cleaned it up nice and applied MX-5. I'm not a fan of shinetsu because of its viscosity. If you test fit a heatsink and upon removal it should have full coverage and be spread so thin you should see the heatsink's metal through the thin layer.

    It always is, has always been. They use a ton of it too to the point that its all squashed out and oozing all over. Most of us will tear the gpu down, lap, clean up, and reapply TIM  as soon as we get the cards cause they perform much better that way. If you test fit a heatsink with TIM on it and then pull the heatsink off, don't reapply the heatsink with the same TIM cause you will have air bubbles galore and it will ruin your temps. You have to put new TIM on again. Heres some important info on application techniques and how they perform and how many air bubbles you get with each, in picts too.
