Just a little note, I decided to take my card apart today and found possibly the worst TIM job I've ever seen, it was dried out as well. Same went for the thermal pad on the VRM, it crumbled to dust when I touched it. Note the extra thermal pad on the left of the cooler by the ports, it looks like there could be another VRM there but nothing on the PCB.
This is how I re-applied it, not sure if it was right but it worked fine:
