So I took apart my 1080 TI FE because I was replacing the stock thermal paste, while I was wiping it off i dropped the card and it fell on my carpet and now the thermal pads have dust and little fibers all over them. they're the little white thermal pads, here's what they look like: https://imgur.com/a/eSZ7U. they're not normal thermal pads, theyre squishy-ish and you can mold them, almost like clay. they sort of look like that plaster that you wet and then mold it around an object. does anybody know where i can buy them?

AFAIK they are called just thermal adhesive pads and you can get them online on ebay or amazon or even newegg. They may look bigger than what you want but the good thing is you can cut them down to size as needed. something like this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186164&cm_re=thermal_pad-_-35-186-164-_-Product

No there not normal Thermal Adhesive Pads. they look a wet bandage if that makes sense.

Its definitely not thermal tape. its sort of like the consistency of in between thermal paste and thermal pads but more like a greasy thermal pad
