That seems very strange for a card like this to just die! Well evga has you covered. this card is a beast. I love it to death. Hands down the best 980ti out there period. How are you getting on with the other two cards?

Well 90 is way too hot for this card. Did you crank the fans to max? Airflow is crucial. But didn't you say you didn't even overclock it? I have never seen mine go over 70 I ran Heaven at 1520 MHz and my temps were in the 55 range! The card is very sufficient. What case are you using?

If it's within a certain time frame (think a week or two) EVGA will cover the shipping costs in case of an RMA. Sorry to hear your KPE died :(. I'm still debating if I should put the EK universal block on mine, or just run it with the stock cooler.

I asked this question a few times earlier in this thread and I am also waiting to hear back from EVGA (called them 8/31/15) in regard's to what would cause this.

Anyone know what the red light on the right side of the card in between the kingpin logo on the back plate and the voltage switches indicates ? It only comes on at random times (some times after a driver crash) and needs a complete shut down to get it to turn off.
Both of my cards have had this light come on, regardless of which PCE slot they are in.

I never noticed the light before on my 980 kpe, but with the Ti's it has happened since day one. Earlier today when the red light came on with the top card it also changed all of the led's to the default white, then started to blink off and on.

I have tried four different driver's, PX installed and uninstalled with no change. I am not sure if this is an issue or not, just want to know what this light is for. Also does not seem to be linked with the LED flicker that happens every so often, my none Ti kpe did this as well.
 
When running in SLI the light will come on when the top card hit's 80C no matter what, which is hard to make happen lol. But when running each card single they will both do it regardless of temps, max is about 67C.
 
EDIT: 980TiKP_XOC.rom bios did not fix the led flickering or the mystery red light.  Also the driver will crash once the red light comes on and I exit the software.
Thanks

The red light your talking about is an indicator that is related to PCB temperature monitoring. Just ignore it. Its essentially monitoring pcb temps and when the heater is enabled, there are handshakes between the two. The LED reset that happens on your card is related to this and can happen if the card exceeds 70C.
The LED reset that happens randomly on some cards like u are describing is a minor FW issue with some of the first cards that were released. Tin will post a ez DIY fix for this at KPC sometime next week FYI    
On a side note, the PCB heater function ABSOLUTELY CANNOT power on without removing the cooler and making the proper hard mods to the 980ti kp pcb. We did this for a specific reason, as to make it impossible for the heater to turn on unintentionally.

Anybody knows why the card does this? I think it has with temps to do but I'm not sure. It looks like it's glitching but it still works fine.

That is craziness.  I would think it could be a BIOS issue, so contact tech support, send them the link, and ask them if you can get the stock bios (it comes in a .exe, so it is a simple click and it installs).  If not, it could be a PCB issue, but that right there would bother me. 
 
Also, one other question.. are you using Precision X16 in any way?  If it is on, can you disable it completely?

That is what my 2 do as well.

Don't want to change the BIOS to be honest. I mean it's a 1000 euro card :P
Yeah using Precision but only to monitor and ramp up the fans

Okay! Only read about the red light. Didn't know it would be glitching like that with the leds. I mean the card is fine but I only notice it if the card gets to about 80. 
Ramping up the fans to 100% and keeping the card under 70 solves the problem so I guess it must be that. 

You bought a card meant for flashing bios, and you don't even want EVGA to send you the stock bios so you can make sure it is flashed properly? That is waste of money.

Usually I am sympathetic to users, but that is absolutely ridiculous to waste money like that. Glad you had deep pockets.

Not sure why you're upset at me? You really think it's too much of me for asking that the card will come properly flashed? Why is it a waste of money if it makes me happy? 
You guys fail to see that I love hardware just as much as you guys. This makes me happy and I like spending money on it. 
I buy what give me joy in life, some people do drugs I play games. 
 
Now with all that said maybe you think it's wasteful that such a good card goes to somebody you look down on. Maybe that's the case but it's still very unfair towards me. I earned my money just as you did and instead of making this some kind of closed privileged circle you guys should be happy that more and more people are looking at the enthusiast market. This will in the end just mean better cards for us all. 
 
Also I notice this is a recurrent theme and it really saddens me. It's not just you that complains. I get to hear it all the time. 
I just got a received three of the new Acer X34 Predators and I am all excited and happy and would love to share this with the community but instead of people being happy for me and my experiences they start complaining how stupid I am. Same when people see the specs for my computer. If I only got a nickle everytime people called me stupid for getting the 5960x only for gaming I'd be wealthy. 
It's not about bragging or anything I used to spend my days looking at other peoples builds and getting happy and I wanted to give back but this comunity is so hateful when someone does something they consider stupid.
 
Lastly I would like to assure everybody that I will be overclocking this cards and using whatever bios necessary once I get the waterblocks for it. Not even my CPU is overclocked yet. I could go on about this more but I feel that this is already way off topic but it really makes me sad when the people I used to look up to are so defensive about new people

i recently sent a support ticket in asking for the easy load bios (.exe) files.
i was told they are not available yet
