    hi i was wondering if it was okay to remove the thermal pads for the graphics memory and apply ceramique instead.

    i really don't recommend to do this, the original thermal pads for memory from manufacturer is tested. If you use your own "creamique" to make a defective issue on the memory chip, the warranty will be void.
    Cheers

    Yes do remove them and replace with as5 or ceramq if you want to fry your vga card. Its funny because i ve seen the same with other models. A word of caution. If you do that not only are you ensuring the demise of your motherboard but you instantly void your warranty
