If that link gets filtered out, look up aerosimgaming on twitch. Basically it's him filming himself playing and you see the screen black out, then the card flash and blow up. It looks like it took some stuff with it or at least burned the inside of the desktop.

What do you think is more likely, that this guy would stage his video card exploding, or that the video card, having a known issue, would actually go up? There's other videos online showing the same thing. The simpler explanation is usually the correct one.
For example, how difficult would it be to set this up in the first place? Blowing up another card, or editing the video?
What does this person have to gain by lying?
If this was staged, how come there's evidence of this happening in other videos, photos and personal accounts by people?

Do we know if the card that exploded was without the new BIOS, and thermal pads? or was from the 1st batch with 3-4% defective VRMS?

Do I film myself play game? You mean, Do I film myself playing games? No. I don't use twitch, or record myself playing games.

There is quite a few of these incidents popping up. 8 I think, last I checked in reddit. Some of them occurring post Thermal Mod / Updates. I am considering canelling my RMA just to get a refund and get a different card. Not sure what to do.

Think I'd prefer your Occam's Razor stance. These kind of streaming vids while gaming are pretty common these days.

On the Nvidia reddit there's maybe 4 visible threads about it if you sort by new. 2 videos so far that I know of. Hey, I only care because I don't want my rig blowing up because I decided to go with EVGA for their customer service...but hey call me paranoid.

Yes I see, I was only looking for Cards that have blown up and really only found 3 One MSI and Two EVGA. But not 8 Cards. No need to be paranoid thing are working fine now. No real need to keep Beating a Dead Horse is all.

More importantly, I'd like to know how many had issues after thermal mods/BIOS update applied and or are brand new cards with the mods already applied.
Cause if cards are blowing up bacause of known issues then that's one thing; if its still blowing up after the mods/updates that's another. No one's provided satisfactory answers on that so far.
The few I've seen pop up on reddit appear to be pre-mod models based on the pictures provided. Many more don't mention what version of the card they have. Like that twtich one, we only now its a 1070.

here's another video.
youtube.com/watch?v=RdeMsVEZmU0
I agree we don't know if it's post pads or bios. But to have members here insinuate it's being done for publicity... that seems silly. The resale value of these cards are affected, and public trust is lost. I've been buying evga since my 8800gtx...

If you think about this it is almost like a Ploy that AMD would do, do you remember the video of the guy going nuts on the ground smashing a NVIDIA Graphics Card with a Sludge Hammer. I am NOT saying that AMD or any other Graphics Card Company is posting or that they are behind any of the issues we are seeing. That is Not What I am Saying at all. Any Type of Electronic Device can Fail that is just the way it is. So far I have not see any Posting or Photos or Videos of a Computer That has Actually Blown Up, Graphics Cards Short Circuiting Yes. Some People just want there 15 Minutes of Fame. Put in some C4 then you will really see something Blowing Up. Myself I would go with 3 wraps of Det Cord (Detonating cord) and have at it.

I'm not aware of any other video card sparking out and making the magic smoke come out, while being filmed on camera multiple times by different people no less in the last 15 years. Except the EVGA 10 series.

This is from a week or so ago. The same exact video, on the actual hosts account. If you look in this forum, you can find the actual person in the video posting about this. forums.evga.com/1080-FTW-exploded-now-dead-and-took-other-parts-with-it-m2583259.aspx

I'm sure a lot of evga owners will film his computer only to be sure it's caught on camera if it's happens...
