I peeled off like a good amount of the thermal pad on one of the memory modules and was paranoid that it won't get good contact, but regardless I tried to heat it up and it came off easy followed with some IPA to clean off residue. The idea of leaving it and have it smush together was what I thought in the first place but I didn't want to risk anything and ruin my gpu. I'm going to apply the new thermal pad and see how it goes with that

So I did something dumb and tried to peel off top layer on the pre applied thermal pads. I have always thought that something will be on it to prevent dust and such to collect on it. According to the tutorials and youtube videos most people just leave it and go straight to mounting the GPU onto the waterblock. Anyone know how to remove the thermal pads on the XG7 GPU waterblock? It isn't like regular thermal pads and its stuck on as if there is glue underneath it. Can I just scrap it or rub it off?
