man that sucks im glad nothing else fried in your system. im sure evga will take care of you though

 
Hmm.. that's the second 1080 card I've heard of doing that. :(
 

I am confused.  In your rig description, you list a 1070 FTW...did the 1070 explode?  Or did you upgrade to 1080?
 
Just for info sake...what is your PSU?  I only had one GPU ever do that to me some years ago...it was an ATI Radeon 9800 AIW...but it did it because my Thermaltake Toughpower PSU spiked and fried it.

Couple of things...just be thankful that it didn't damage your motherboard or anything else when it went.  Second...be glad you are with EVGA...they will take care of you.

Come on now, just because these cards get hot doesnt mean you can use it to make "pop" corn..lol.

pics or it didnt happen let me see the fail to win from Nvidia, please

Just out of curiosity, what PSU were you using when it exploded?

"I come to this forum because it's so exciting with all the amazing problems"..

"I'm just finally now enjoying my Msi GTX 1080 and having it overclock and running smoothly at 10-15 Celsius cooler than my EVGA FTW did. Now that I can smile about"

Your words I've quoted Lander...so basically your gloating? Or trolling? What help/ advice is there in your words?
There have been issues regarding the memory in some of the Msi cards..jump over to OCUK forum it's on there..while your there have a look regarding the EVGA FTW models..no mention of any black screens,or fans spinning but yes the issues do exist with a small number of both Msi and EVGA cards. And like I said if I had to RMA either a EVGA or a Msi card I know which company would be more hassle free. One thing I do think...I think EVGA should do the RMAing for any faulty cards free of charge..it should not cost a customer a single penny when the fault is with the company.

who downloads a OC program and doesn't attempt an OC... it's my first build and the fan curve was also my concern but nah, I'm not buying you didn't mess with the other sliders. Especially when your cpu is OC to 4.4 @ 1.315 and your gpu says 2100... I have a 6700k and I don't need 1.315 @ 4.5, does it take more voltage for an i5? and why is your gpu listed at such a high clock if you did not mess with other sliders?

Me, for one.

What? wait? you mean EVGA makes and distribute program that makes EVGA gpu cards explode if you touch sliders? What is this sorcery, why would company make program that kills its own gpu cards and then replaces them under warranty. Makes no sense.

Same thing happened to me!
 
I had to reply to this. Happened to me with the system in my Specs with a EVGA FTW 1080 GTX. Never had a problem like that before with my AMD cards.

I woke up one morning and found my PC turned off while it was supposed to be running. It was impossible to turn it on and the power supply was refusing to provide power to the case at all. Like everyone I was expecting my Power Supply to be dead, however it is a Fractal Design Newton R3 1000W Platinum and barely 3 years old. I was really skeptical it was the power supply.

Anyway, I had my new ITX PC that I was planning to use for LAN party and traveling with. I told myself I was having this system at least in the meantime. So I transferred my EVGA 1080 GTX FTW in it, turn it on... and BANG! GPU explode...

I am pissed off, I lost a new EVGA B750 Supernova power supply, a new ASROCK ITX mobo and a 1 month old 900$ video card. The new system was working until the damn thing entered into the case.

Next day, I test my Fractal Design power supply in my main tower with the IGP. The damn thing work perfectly.

Conclusion, if the computer don't power up with your Video Card in, your Video Card is either dead and your power supply is trying to prevent the damage.
 
EVGA paid the shipping for the GPU and the PS, however I had to RMA my mobo because of them. I love their customer support, but the Quality Assurance is not good. I will not buy an EVGA product anymore, and yes I should had wait a month for price to stabilize and buy an MSI.

Just a note, I had this happen with an AMD 9800pro a million years ago.

All it takes is a tiny tiny void in any voltage carrying PCB run.

I was surfing the net using a windowed case to my right, got to actually see it happen.

It looked a microscopic man was welding for a second, then nothing.

The card was two years old but thankfully at the time Circuit City was still around for a self RMA, buy new card, put old card in box, abuse returns policy.

Haha nice one! Those were the good one days.. or everything is matching serial numbers.

I've got EVGA's SuperNOVA NEX750B PSU. Been handling things smoothly so far. Sorry - thanks for reminding me to update that lol. And EVGA is great; did a A-RMA and got a new card in under 2 days.

Sorry for the confusion - I started out with a 1070FTW and did some moderate OC, just never got around to updating my rig info when I got the 1080. It was completely stock and I had reinstalled Precision X so there was no way it could have carried over. I'm *just* barely stable on 4.4 @ 1.315; anything lower and I get a BSOD everytime I stress test. 1.315V is the lowest possible value I can set it to keep it stable at that speed.

FYI uninstalling Precision XOC sometimes leaves 'stuff' lying around. I had to manually delete registry settings before I could a fresh install to actually run 'fresh'.
