Everything I have seen written about these cards is that a repaste accomplishes nothing significant.
People say that the paste EVGA used is really thick and dry, they assume it is bad/cheap/whatever, they repaste, and the end result is pretty much the same.
So, this means that the paste EVGA used is thick and dry on purpose (to reduce pump-out-effect and increase thermal stability over the life of the product), but still performs good.
So, unless you hear otherwise, I wouldn't recommend changing the thermal paste. The danger is: if you change it, you are going to use some thinner stuff which won't last as long (pump-out-effect), and so you will just be increasing the amount of future maintenance that you will need to do.
