I have a 1070 SC ACX 3.0, and holy crap, it's ice cold. The hottest I've seen the temperature was 67 degrees, with default fan curve during heavy benchmarking. After adjusting the fan curve to my liking (not even audible until it gets to 60%, so I'll never hear it because at 60 degrees the fan is at 40%) it hovers at 65 or so, never higher (not even if I tried). Folding temps are a constant 60-61.
 
I'm very happy with my purchase. So I'm asking those of you with 10 series cards as well, what are your average and max temps?

    Comparing current gen with the previous one, it has some improvements. First of all, the fan speed. Fans could get around 5k RPM (or more, I can't actually remember exactly) at full speed on my 970FTW. I guess I'd have to be deaf  to let it run with fans set like this :D Max I could stand was about 50% which I paired up with max temp through fan curve setting. Was reaching up to 80*C without getting the 1500MHz overclock many people bragged about on the internet. Right now on the 1070FTW? I've set the curve to keep fans at 20% speed (can't go lower on slave bios - and it's really quiet anyways so I don't mind) up to 50*C, then max 60% speed at 70*C (moderate volume) up to 100% at 100*C. Power target is set to 122%, added 143MHz manual overclock to the core, voltage is unlocked. Results? Max temp I observed so far was 71*C. Without a jet-like fans noise (I am pretty allergic to any noise comming from my PC, seriously - especially it sits on my desk, like 70cm away from my ears). I just love how ACX behaves.

    My old 970 FTW 2.0+'s ran at almost 64C under full load. The 1070 runs at 42C under full load.

    I'm hoping they will release the ACX 3 for purchase but I don't expect it to happen.

    Yep the ACX 3 on these cards works very well, I am certainly pleased with my 1080 FTW, runs cooler than my previous 970 FTW.

    My 1080 ACX 3.0 @2202MHz runs at 39C full load. 2164MHz (2202 sometimes fails with certain WUs) and 37C right now folding away!

    I can't get my card to go above 54c degrees full-load in games or full-synthetic benchmarks [time-spy, firestrike] GPU clock would be steady at 1936-1992mhz [no manual OC, just factory OC]...

    Yea, the 1070 SC efficiency is bonkers... My fan curve uses evga 'aggressive' preset on precision [a first for me,] so at about 50c, the fans spin up to 60+ percent, but never go full-load either.

    Complete night and day between my overly HOTT 780ti's... Kepler would just burn-away 64-72c+ full-load with benchmarks and games.

    I hope that you're not surprised that a 250W (stock) card is hotter than a 180W (stock) card. 
     
    EDIT: Or a 150W (stock) card if you sidegraded to the 1070.

    Still using the stock ACX 1.0 fan that came with my GTX 780 that I got on day 1 of release. 
     
    Still whisper quiet, card runs cool... On max load I can start to hear the fan, but it's very manageable and if i put my cans on, even with no sound ingame the noise is pretty much gone.
     
    ACX starting even at the first one seemed to have been a win for EVGA. It excites me for when I do choose to upgrade from this 780, knowing that I'll still have the option of quiet gameplay. Looking forward to the possibility of a GTX 1080 Ti... if it ever manages to launch. ;)

    Air cooled? Or do you have some sort of waterblock? I can't imagine any air cooled card being any lower than 60c or so at full load (without jacking the fan speed up)

    He says right in the quoted section stock cooler... lol
     
    That said, my GTX 780 runs about 75C full load and it's years old on the stock thermal still...

    ...that really doesn't count as ACX 3.0 if you swapped on a water cooler.

    It isn't really a Kepler or ACX vs ACX 3.0 issue. It just isn't a fair comparison. The 780 Ti is a 250W GPU vs the GTX 1070 at 150W. Of course the 1070 is going to stay ice cold compared to a 780 Ti. Fit an ACX 3.0 on a Titan XP somehow and see what happens.

    Same as above. You can't make claims of cooler efficacy based on comparisons between 250W cards and 150W cards.

    My 1080 ACX 3.0 @2202MHz runs at 39C full load. 2164MHz (2202 sometimes fails with certain WUs) and 37C right now folding away!
     
    Of course, that's using an AIO water cooler   



    Yea, I have not been able to hit 40c yet with Valley running on extreme HD






    You are running custom water. My GTX 1070 FTW runs 60 to 61 c on the default curve and and peak clock is anywhere between 1999 and 2012 MHz out of the box. For comparison, my GTX 960 SSC made it into the 70+ c on default curve and peaked at 1445 MHz.

    ACX 3 SC GTX 1070.  SWTOR 3 hours Maxed graphics settings, the card stayed at 39c - 40c.  Running 2000 GPU Clock Speed with a custom fan curve that is mild up to 50c then jumps up to 60%, maxes out 90% at 65c.  I couldn't be more impressed with my choice.

    Hmm hard to say, my 1080 FTWs (one DT) seem to run a bit cooler than my GTX 980s did, but the 980s had smaller fans that the FTWs do, and I've also swapped some case fans since then too, so not a really fair compare, but at least the wattage is about the same 175w for the 980s and 180w for the 1080s (I know the ftw version has a bit higher max, but not sure if that has much effect on if it reaches that.)
     
    SO I guess what I'm saying is... I don't really have a good measurement of it either.
     
    my temps are at 53c for bottom card, 68c for top card, with the default "custom" fan curve that is done by Precision X OC (which is more aggressive than the default curve by a fair bit.)

    Just put my 1070ftw in yesterday, haven't tested high temps but loving the idle at 23c and of course the fans aren't even on yet. 
    Same temps as my 780Ti on water temps right now.

    My reference design 1080GTX Founder Edition doesn't break 64C with radial fan cooler. These cards are cool runners, but so were Maxwell, if I remember correctly. The ACX cooler design should shave a few more Celsius off the radial designs, although, I haven't really seen proof of this. My curve is set up like this 50C=60% 55C=70% 60C=80% 65C=100%

    As I said, my temps peak at 62C with ACX 3.0. My fan curve is also slightly more... conservative with 30C= 40%, 50C=50%, 60C=60%, 65C=100%.

    Slap a hybrid kit on there. My Founders Edition never goes above 45C. 2025mhz boost constantly.

    I'm hoping they will release the ACX 3 for purchase but I don't expect it to happen.




    I bought one off ebay for £25 the other day.

    My 1080 classified runs around 60-62C benching at 2202MHz and +600MHz memory in Heaven. This is with fans at 80% and case fans at 60%. Super satisfied! =)
