I was able to order my thermal pad. I ordered two because I have two GTX 1080s registered (I returned one to Memory Express because of coil whine and the new one does the same but I'll swap it out in December if it still makes noise). If you are concerned about your card you can have the extra thermal pad that should be coming to me. If you don't want it then someone else is more than welcome to it.
