Hello! I got 1 gpu from friend of mine but he told me to repaste it and see if it works. This is the first gpu with thermal pads i have and i don`t know if they are bad or not.
This is photo of the thermal pads: http://

I do not think you need to change them unless you opened GPU And the Pads Got Ripped Off But here is some some information from google about what they do

In computing and electronics, thermal pads are a pre-formed square or rectangle of solid material commonly found on the underside of heatsinks to aid the conduction of heat away from the component being cooled and into the heatsink
