Replacing TIM on Stock 8800 GTX Card

[mykim01]

Hello, I have a question. I'm looking to replace the weird white TIM that the 8800GTX cards come with. Now, would AC5, or MX2 suffice? I'm just worried because the standard white TIM look like they're pads and so they do have a thickness to them and AC5 and MX2 really don't being more liquid than a solid. Am I supposed to replace them with another TIM pad like this one instead?

Or would AC5 or MX2 be fine? The white TIM look like they're starting to "dry out" and looking a little crumbly. Thanks in advance!

if the cards still working leave it be.
