i've been watching the videos on how to remove and install em. The Aquapc video show's him putting Thermal Grease on the GPU and rams, then he used the thermal pad on the VRM's only. Is this what you did? I was just gonna thermal pad the whole thing.

I'm going to go as far as to suspect that he doesn't have a misses and neither do you. You may be happy to live off 2 minutes noodles for a week but I think you would be very hard pressed to find any woman alive who would be happy to live off 2 minute noodles for a week so you can have some water cooling parts for your PC.
