I will keep this short and simple.
I bought 6 Nvidia Branded GTX 1080's--- Keep in mind cards are not used for mining at all.
I was not to happy with my thermal's in multiple builds so I went online to see what people were saying about result of re-pasting these cards. Sadly the results most show was only a 1-2c difference at best or a decrease in performance.
Usually Nvidia seems to use way to much paste on these reference cards but to my surprise not this time. All 6 cards TIM was very dry and patchy. Some parts of the die and heat-sink were not even covered at all. To be honest this dumbfounded me since we are talking about 6 different card with 4 different lot numbers.
I replaced the paste on every card with some Thermaltake TG-07--- it's all I had. on all 6 cards I have dropped 6-12c in all benchmarks. Same core clocks etc for before and after tests.
To say the least I was disappointed with the thermal-paste that was pre-installed on the cards. I have never seen this bad of job done on a flagship part.
I would advise if you have these cards to replace the TIM, I hope this helps.
