Just to add: i bought 2 pieces of 85mm x 45mm x 2.0mm thermal pad and used about 1 and a half of it. I only replaced the existing pads on the VRAM(gpucooler side) and added pads to the backplate (no existing pads). Avg Mem Junc temp: 90c (this is with an old 1080 in the second pcie slot. Without the 1080, it was about 80c. Before adding/replacing pads, it was 108c.
