Always. The same as every other GPUs. I don't see anything wrong with using the existing pads if they are intact.

When I replaced the thermal compound all pads looked great and didn't come off in any way when I removed card A or B. I therefor reused them and the temperatures are totally fine...

The part numbers are in the technician guide. You need 2 sets of 4.

and yes I have seen that part in the technician guide...
