This is outrageous! I went with this company because I thought it had high quality products since they offer the longest warranty.    EDIT:  I've always ran my cards with a very aggressive fan profile.
 
I'm so sick of this if I RMA my card again they're just going to send me another one that will break in 4-6 months and then my warranty will have run out.  Damn this company I have had problems with their graphics cards since I built my pc.     

You literally took away words from my mouth. EVGA, never again.
I've had great experience with cards of other companies and am going to switch back.
 

I do not see that you have tested a new SLI Bridge nor Different Slots nor what the BSOD Code is?
Is your Motherboard Bios Current, are the Bios Settings Set to the Default or Optimized Settings with NO OVERCLOCKING?
Is the Integrated Graphics Disabled on your Motherboard? 
I would think that it is your Motherboard that is the real issue and not your Graphics Cards.

OK What was the issue that have had with an EVGA Product and what was the Product and what was it the EVGA Did Not Do For You?
@ sherry What are the Other Companies that you are Speaking of? What was the Product(s) (Model Number(s)) or the Other Card(s)?

For starters I thank you all for your desire to assist me.  I have literally tested so many things I've lost track of all of them no kidding.  Of course I took my working card out an inserted the suspected bad card in its place and I got to the windows splash screen and about 6 lines appear in the middle of my monitor which was when I noticed the original problem.  My cards were also falling out of sli mode frequently and my games would crash and make that horrible repeating noise through my speakers.  It would do this if I for example tried to pause or minimize the game when a lot was going on on screen. It blue screens without the blue screen and continues in that loop.  I have the error message.
Blue screen
OS: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
BCCode 116
BCP1: FFFFFA800BC12010
BCP2: FFFFF88004BDB3C4
BCP3: 16 zeros.  im not typing them out
BCP4: 15 zeros then the number 2
files that describe the problem 
C:\windows\minidump\111415-18049-01.dmp
C:\users\Lyle\Appdata\Local\temp\WER-109075-0.sysdata                  At least I don't feel as stupid for writing all that down now...
 
I've ran the windows memtest about 4 times.  This was when I didn't know my card was bad so it would never reboot successfully and show me the results.  I can do that and get my bios version if that would help.
I have never overclocked anything except my cpu and that was around this time a year ago.  My bios is set to default.  I have the graphic adapter set to PEG in my bios I haven't seen how to disable my integrated graphics for a couple years.  And my pc ran fine on 700 watts with both cards for 2 years whenever the graphics cards weren't going to hell in a hand basket.  I think some of you are overestimating their power requirements my power bill would be sky high if they were anywhere near that.
 
Why does anyone think its my motherboard?  I have had 3 of these cards model number 03G-P4-3663-KR completely quit on me.  I knew because the fans just stopped spinning on all of them.  This is the first time I've had one fail this way.  I have no way to get a new sli bridge other than pay 3 dollars plus s&h for a part that almost has NOTHING that can break on it.  The RMA process isn't bad except I've spent about 40 dollars sending 3 cards in so far.  EVGA RMA dept keeps sending me cards that are inferior and break in less then 6 months.  I don't have that much time left in my warranty so the next time they break after this I will be out 700 dollars I spent on them thinking I might get at least 3 years out of the cards.  I can't just spend that much on gfx cards again and I definitely wont with EVGA whenever I can.
 
My cards never go above 70 degrees celcius and usually are at 65 when I'm running them at 100%.  I have the fans set to run at 80% when they get to 50 degrees celcius and my cpu has a ridiculously huge air cooler it idles at 26* and rarely goes above 45.  
My pc has literally not had SLI running as long as it has.  EVGA has ripped me off bigger than SH)T when I paid 330 or 340 for each of these cards originally I deserved reliable working parts.  The ones they've sent me for my RMA's have always operated at lower clock speeds then my original and now that one has died.  You may say that doesn't indicate the quality but if your'e capable of applying any information that applies to everything if it can't run as fast, as cool, or as long as another instance of the exact same model it's lower quality.  
 
I hope that tides you all over for a while I don't know if I'll make another post today.  I'll see if I can run a memtest successfully and get my bios version on a restart.  I hope you all aren't so infatuated with EVGA your'e just telling me everything else is wrong with my pc to throw me off.  I am PISSED I'm not going to have any working graphics cards when they both break after March of next year.

Thanks that sounds like good advice I didn't consider that may help in the long run.  It sounds a lot better than what EVGA offered me a prepaid shipping label and "hand testing" my replacement as if they'd notice a problem that isn't even going to occur for 3-6 months.  I guess they're trying to be nice I just don't think they understand my problem or they don't care since my warranty is running out.  Thank you for the better solution.

Now for people not paying attention or bothering to quote accurate information:
 
I saw a post of 450 watts per card, not even close.
 
Thermal and Power Specs:
Maximum GPU Tempurature (in C) 97 C
Maximum Graphics Card Power 150 W

Minimum System Power Requirement 450 W

Supplementary Power Connectors Two 6-pin


Those specs are per NVidia. 
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-660ti/specifications

His 850W PSU is more than sufficient to run those cards wide open in SLI.

As far as slots, his board based on what he posted only has 2 x16 slots onboard.

this were I got the info from evga site it a evga card sometimes a little extra psu doesn't hurts he didn't list how many drives he had

When you run SLI...
ALWAYS RMA all the cards.
I run 660TI's from the RMA Dept, while I have a rouge one at the moment they do get them replaced.
That being said, if you RMA something more than X times in a year they will Advanced RMA them at no cost to you.

Okay thanks I appreciate you corroborating what I thought and other people here told me but I still don't understand why a working card in SLI should be RMA'd with the bad one.  As useful as that may be to do I don't understand why that's important.  Unless they get used to working in tandem or something.   Also yes I thought the 450w was for your whole system and mine is pretty simple I just have a regular 1 tb hard drive and a cd-rom drive with a bunch of lights of course.  And I know my pci slots only operate at x16 or idk even x8 when they're both being used I didn't think there was a way around that when I built my pc.

Cards are funny sometimes, Sometimes card A will not work in Slot 1, but will work in Slot 2.
Sometimes Card A will work in Slot 1, Card B in slot 2, but not in SLI. 
SLI is temperamental at best, I've owned EVGA NVidia cards dating back 10 years and have always had SLI, Tri-SLI or Quad-SLI.
I've seen them do stupid things, this is why EVGA policy is if you send in a card, and even though the card tested "Good" they replace it anyway. There are too many hardware configurations to possibly test every single one. This is the same reason that games actually written for PC still have issues on release, they cannot even with open beta test everything.
 
As for hard drives, even if he had all 6 slots filled with mechanical drives it's only a mere 60 watts.
That being said I run 660TI's in SLI and I own every current game and still do not max the cards at 100%
I do however use a 1300W PSU, I just buy the biggest and let it run at lower loads.

I use a 40" Aquos for a monitor so I just run 1900x1080 res, I also use my 660SC for PhysX.
My second monitor is like 1400x900 and only runs ELeet and Precision. I am running BO3 and Fallout 4 on all High settings and I have no framerate issues.

I have a GTX 660 Ti, but mine has dual fans and its cool as the proverbial cucumber and it has never been a problem. Can't say the same for dodgy drivers from NVIDA.
 
I use a Corsair 850W PSU and my card hardly uses 75W most of the time, so my PSU like the OP's is plenty

I just speaking from experience sent in two 560 ti 448 classys for rma and got back two 660 cards so if wish to send one in and get a different card don't complain cause you were told to let them know about the sli config setup too many have posted on the forums about not getting a matching card back for sli not everything is guaranteed  to be same that why they have that option when you file for rma the ask if running in sli
 
example if I rma one titan x I will do all three due to sli config

DON'T get uppity with me I've told them every time I have a SLI set up and they've sent me back an identical card EVERY TIME.  I've never posted on here before and I didn't think the model of the card was the problem, or my left over good card may not work with another good card.  After 3 RMAs I'll use any solution that may help.  I'M NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT GETTING A DIFFERENT CARD JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD HELP.  Work on your reading comprehension.  And their RMA process only looks at cards individually so it may get messed up if you send both of them in at the same time since they have to exchange serial/model numbers on two cards at once separately so they may loose track of which was the original.  I can read a blurb next to a check box gawd this is why I don't post on forums.
