States that product should not be used with aluminum. Just noticed in your picture your heat sink is infact aluminum. That would explain it.

Also like I said, GPU fans will pull air in too, I'd take one of those front fans and have them push air out in the back or top.

Just got off a live chat with EVGA they said they don't recommend liquid metal paste's and the Heat sink is a nickel plated/aluminium alloy material, I told them my story they could not really explain it either except something about the voltages ramping up when under load when I started to game. I have two EK Vardar EVO 140ER Black's just sitting around, I may use them but the fans I am using now are on a fan controller as my motherboard does not have PWM just 3 pin connectors.

Just used the thermo gun on the backplate there and Max i've seen it is 57.5C when the GPU was at 65C

That's in the range of normal, leave it be & roll with it, glad to hear things are under control again.
