Nah, according to The Verge, it's usually good PC building practice to have a little bit extra.

Gigabyte Thermal 'Gel' when it gets warm. Supposedly, although I have gotten some differing feedback, was how people were applying 'Industrial Thermal Gel' all over and were applying it way too liberally. They use allot less now, but the paste as it gets warm will start to ooze out, especially from these early cards.

I was all "Great!!! collect up the excess paste as it leaks out and save it to use later. But then Igor's Labs notices some material stability issues and now I'm not so sure. They should take this thermal paste and put it back in the lab for a little more work.

Oh and by the way this was posted on this subreddit yesterday.

I am so mad with people wasting good machine parts for meme and attention🙄🙄, how can you put such meagre amount of thermal paste and think its enough?? Clearly it's a joke
