I read the article on wccf.com in regards to the ACX 3.0 1070/1080's and the situation with the VRAM/VRM overheating and potentially burning down and I wanted to see if EVGA knows yet if this will also affect the ACX 3.0 1060's, and if so, what will come about of this.

The answer is no. The 1070/1080's don't have problems. Tomshardware testing methods were flawed.

You seriously need to stop saying this. There is obviously a problem. All these issues being reported, myself included are not a coincidence. Get a grip and quit speaking for the company. EVGA just needs to step up and take responsibility for this flaw and move on. You telling people there are no problems is not helping anything.

Just cause EVGA "said it" doesn't mean its a fact yet. No-one really knows till Tomshardware follows up with new tests.

This is incorrect. They use the same basic board, with the same chips that are used across gpus. Yes they could. Time will tell.

You're incorrect. The 1060 does not use the same pcb as the 1070/1080.

Aren't they re-doing the tests with the pads? Wouldn't that be indicative of needing the pads? I mean why re-do the test at all with the pads if there is no problem? Why not just re-do the tests without the pads if the "methods were flawed"?

Its concerning that even the administrators are either in denial or playing it down (maybe by request to counter bad publicity).
I don't see the pads being optional. If cards are failing at a disturbing rate due to heat, then the pads start to seem mandatory.

Yes I missed that as my 1070 SC BURNED OUT before I found out about these problems. Don't try your BS crap on me Sajin. And of course they are "optional" people have the option to either get them or not. But not getting the mod is pretty much pulling the pin on a grenade. I suggest you quit giving out false and misleading information to people until this most obvious of problems comes to center stage and you and the rest of the moderators quit trying to cover up this problem that isn't even your responsibility to do so.

Agreed. I feel like I am stuck in some kind of Twilight zone here. Maybe all these people that are covering up this issue will pay for everyone to get a new card when they burn out? Nope probably not, bunch of punk keyboard warriors covering up something they have no business butting into.

Can't wait till all this is over with. I can't see clearly defined criteria's and options for RMA's let alone game with it as is. The little they have said is "Its totally fine to risk your card in your machine, we'll replace it anyways." lol no thanks. Your twilight zone analogy is fitting being stuck in this in-between state. I just wanna get on with it and play games.

I never knew EVGA reps were 'keyboard warriors'. And seems to me they have just as much right to comment as you or anyone else. If I may, folks seem to be conflating two issues, the VRM and memory area which runs hotter than other models under extreme stress conditions and the few scattered failures of SMD components on the back of the GPU. One is not likely related to the other. I looked on quite a few sites on the net and all I'm seeing are very few actual failures. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong on noting there are only a couple actual hardware failures.

SaJin you are a helpful member to me before but you can't say Toms methods are flawed without backing it up.
Us owners of 1060 SC have a legit reason to be afraid.
All i I can say is that if EVGA is found out to be downplaying and suppressing this issue, it could end very badly for them. I still need EVGA around in case I have a warranty that needs exercising.

Doesn't really matter if they are "flawed." What matters is that the VRMs on EVGA cards do run quite a lot hotter than the ones on other vendor cards, using the same testing method. And the 1060s run even hotter than the 1070/1080s.  http://www.tomshardware.de/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-pascal-gp106-grafikkarten-roundup,testberichte-242152-2.html#3 We'll just have to wait and see what these higher temps will mean in the future.

Given you're a moderator and all, perhaps you should read the TOS a bit better yourself, it states if you create a thread, you are not allowed to bump it. I did not create this thread, nor am I annoyingly even just "bumping" it without any further cause. -removes word "bump", and now everything OK- I don't like your responses regarding this VRM issue, you were flat out denying there was any problem yet now it's full blown known there was in fact a problem. I already forwarded this information to Steve at GamerNexus, expecting a real answer that won't fall on deaf ears--if I can add thermal pads and not have to blast my fans at 100% for better cooling, then so be it, I want to know that information.
