The memory chip pads dont get stuck to the heatsink or anything do they? Would it be easy to take it back off once it's been seated and screwed down?

I did not use AC5 on the GPU memory chips. There are thermal pads for memory chips on heatsink and I left them there. The thermal pads are thicker and I suspect that the chips do not contact the heatsink directly. Typically thermal pads retain their shape as long as they are cool. I would never attempt to work with a cooler that utilizes thermal pads until everything has cooled off completely. There are places to buy thermal pads as well is needed.
I do wish there was a better option for cooling the memory chips but without knowing how big the space is between heat sink and chips it would be pretty hard to figure out.
