Good thing you have EVGA for support, have you submitted your Support Ticket for an RAM yet!
Did you install a Water Block on this Card?

Hello, I have made a submission for trouble shooting so I can open a RAM, and no I did not install a water block on the card, I was using the default ACX 2.0 cooler at the time it blew.

Hello Elune2222 and welcome to the forums! 
 
I am sorry to hear that you experienced this issue with your card. Unfortunately these components do fail some times. I was able to look up your account and you are indeed under warranty. I have responded to your ticket with further instructions. If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free respond here, through the ticket or send me a PM!

I would like to add, that I too have had the exact same failure this past week (same r33 VRM) on my 980ti ACX2 sc+ model, I have a support ticket open but am awaiting an official response

That because I fully removed the plating in an attempt to find out what the problem was at the time, thankfully I got in contact with EVGA support and they approved my RMA I just have to shop my faulty card of to their dept and they will send a replacement, 10/10 service so far :)

Sweet!

I guess beggars can't be choosers .   but for the cost of that king pin and all it was hyped up to be   evga came out on top    .   you got a 1070 sc  not that thats bad , but   you had a 850$ ''custom / hand picked parts '' card  and exchanged it for a  now a 400$  card  common everyday lower end run of the mill ''SC''  and not even a 1080 too boot ? .  I could understand better if you got a 1080  ftw or classy   that would be closer to equal value  .  if a GM car,  you traded  a corvette  for a caprice ,.  true they both can do 65mph  I guess .  still I guess getting something instead of hoop jumping and RMA tag  just to find in the end they flat turned you down and get nothing   is still better then nothing  .   I could see if you had a 980ti ssc / ftw  and getting a 1070 sc  ,but ???? [opinion]

true  , another saying is don't look a gift horse in the mouth   and a little something is better then a whole lot of nothing  .   like said above evga does serve better then the rest , and why regardless  when I go NVidia I go EVGA  .   something like that would erk me like I said above but in the end just shrug my  shoulders and move on .   what I say  better to take a average priced card   like a sc / ftw  so when you do this  and get a replacement card  your still in that ball park  and feeling not so hurt   [opinion]   that's what I was looking at you paid for a 850$  kingpin but got a 450$ [??] replacement.   not to say performance maybe on par [??]  
 
enjoy your new card

Just be thankful that EVGA PROVIDE A class service, most other brands will instant void your warrenty for dismantling a card and blame your tampering for the damage, a upgrade is a upgrade and for EVGA to replace a card for another that provides a slight boost in performance is a good deed imo.

My kingpin was faster than a 1070 in all the games I play. At least from looking at what benchmarks show for the card. I don't need to be thankful for anything, my money did that part for me...

If that's the case (which is debatable from all of the reviews that I've seen because stock for stock is what EVGA bases their replacements on should they not have your model) then you can call them up/email them and complain that your stock to stock performance is lower with the 1070.

Yeah I have charts I will comparing when the time comes.
