No problem here... But, I stopped buying EVGA custom cards. I have the FE and it works great.

Are we going crazy? This post is totally irrelevant, a correct operation is what is expected of a high-end product that costs about 500-700 €. It is not news that a graphic card works the way it is expected

It's news because the forum is filled with threads that may give people the false impression that all 10 series EVGA cards are exploding or just waiting to do so.

A thread like this illustrates that the sky isn't actually falling for all EVGA card owners.

Exactly, all the forum talks everytime about 5 or 6 graphic cards...

There is several thousand of cards without problem (at the moment :o ) this thread is here to prove that's not the end of the world..

I only Counted 4 have been reported here on the Forum.
The problem is not going away and our Forum will not go back to being a Great Forum for a Very Long Time.
It seems to be only a Complaining and Bashing Forum from the Few and are Fueling an out of control Fire
The few Need to Stop Dumping Gasoline on Fire and even so the Forum Still may or may not return to a normal state.

After RMA #1 (artifacts/memory issues), and then RMA #2 for ("a TIM problem"), my third 1080 FTW seems to be very good.  In fact it's freaking me out how much cooler it seems to be running.  I'm not having any problems at all with this card, and it has the updated vBIOS and all thermal pads installed.  It is boosting to 2012MHz and VRAM staying at 5005MHz. I have stressed this card a lot to make sure it was solid, and after about a week of non stop stressing/gaming, it has proven to be a keeper (getting ready to start OC'ing to see what it will really do, just haven't had the time yet -I've only experimented a little w/OC'ing but it's looking pretty good).  Although I do get how frustrating this whole scenario has been - because I was on the receiving end of it, twice!  But EVGA was more than accommodating toward me and my concerns, and I now have a perfect card, which is showing no signs of any probs.  To sit around and worry that its going to fail at any moment or catch fire is ridiculous.  I could also be hit by a bus while crossing the street today.  I'm satisfied now, and my card is doing great.  
 
 

1070 FTW here.
Latest Bios + Custom Fan Curve ( without pads)
Running at 2100/4500 since i have the card and so far no problems. No Black screens, no sudden 100% Fans or something else.
I know it doesn't mean much ( because the important temps are not shown.... ) but Temps are most times between 51-56.
 
Hope this remains so.

1080sc. cool and quiet. 375.70 driver

this is my third EVGA video card but my last. I have optd out of the RMA process and decided to get a full refund from the retail seller since the card was less then 30 days old (only lasted 2-1/2 weeks). Thank god I had this option a never ending RMA process would be very disappointing. I went back to my poor running 970 card that was also disappointing.

I got my 1080 FTW RMA and the card is running ALOT cooler then the one I got on preorder.
 
 I was getting temps of 82c when playing BF1 but with the new card with thermal pads it does not go over 62c

My Two GTX 1080 Cards have been running 7x24 @2012MHz+ going on 5 Weeks now Hitting Temperatures as High as 84C.
I have them Set with Fans @ 98% and GPU Clock @ +190 and +200 Set 120% and Temp to 86C Priority Set to Temperature.
They Are Great Cards

 
  Thermal pads will make them run 20c cooler.

If it's possible to precise if you have pads or not pads...

Of course, it's more relevant to post here if you dont have pads on your card I think...

I want also prove here that not having pads is not the end of the world and thats there is a lot of cards without pads who works like a charm :)

Like mine...
 
I'm gonna create the "no pads club"
