Seems the company I bought it from has had several issues and they have promptly refunded me. If they get more complaints they are going to approach EVGA if they havent alrerady on safety and recallof defective items grounds.

Why post such a useless thread? EVGA doesn't need to do a recall they have already offered a solution to the problem at hand and offered to RMA any card that has issues.

Evga should do a recall on the SC/FTW cards with how many issues they are having... It's literally 33% of all SC/FTWs are defective out of the box! These are horrifying statistics!! Never will I ever buy a aftermarket PCB GPU from EVGA, not after reading dozens of accounts of RMAs on those cards, everything from fan issues, to overheating, to not running stable at stock clocks. What the hell, this is not normal of EVGA at all! I think after reading all these complaints I may even look at Asus or MSI for my next GPU, at least their aftermarket PCB's aren't all being sent back!

33%? 1 out of 3 cards? I would have thought the forums would have been a LOT busier with a LOT more negative posts on this site and other sites. Now - I hope that is not like the percentages reported on the News sites about the U.S. election. If I told those guys on those sites once I've told them a ba-ZILLION times - don't exaggerate.

A recall needs to be done. 100% of the cards require the VRM thermal pad modification as well as replacing the VRAM pads.
It really is amazing that EVGA did not do thermal spectrum analysis of any of these cards to diagnosis hot spots. They could have easily caught this disaster.

No - 100% of the cards do not require this. EVGA stated that this is optional...optional does not mean required. I have a 1080 FTW...without any mods...running great since July. So...that's 1 card out...so not 100%

and what exactly are you contributing in this post? hopefully, we are all adults in here. No need to point out grammatical errors as long as one understands what the original poster means. Back to topic: i'm honestly dissapointed at EVGA in regards to this fiasco. The card was not tested properly before retailing. Although i have a great record of customer service from EVGA thus far, this is not a matter of customer service. it's a matter of not enough QA on their behalf and also a design flaw in their ACX 3.0 design. i'm honestly not confortable using my $649 sc gaming 1080 by updating it's bios + thermal pad installation. Why should i even do this when i've already spent over $600? Yes, they do offer replacement by EVGA doing the work for you. But still, there's a sour taste in my mouth currently. How do i even know that after applying both fixes the card will not act up in the long run? i love evga and their products + customer service. however, i do feel like EVGA should do a complete recall in regards to ACX 3.0 cards.

Adequate Airflow also Offset this, Mine has no issue either
The thermals Pads are Free of Charge
They Give you a legit reason to open a card without Voiding the warranty
AND if the card Break in the process, They Still will accept it during an RMA
Whats better than this?
That's like Intel giving you the go to Delid and Remove the IHS to get rid of the stock paste and giving you the Liquid Metal Paste!

I got a refund as well. My Best Buy took my 1070 SC back (was about 35 days past purchase). Very frustrated by EVGA not only did I have multiple card issues - first the Micron memory then the VRM over heating concerns which then led to horrible coil whine thanks to the "bios" update read: fan curve increase - but I also got a dead out of the box EVGA PSU (both power tester dead and actually plugged in to 2 different machines to test dead) week before last as well.
All you long timers who have history and will go down with EVGA until the death and come back to them for their good customer support - more power to you and I get where you are on things. But for me my time is money (time is money friend!) and I am glad I got out of this company's obviously awful QC as of late early on and with not a whole lot of extra time money or stress. They tried to make things right by me when I reached out to them I give them that, but in the end the damage was done. Just wanted to post to share my experience and bid good riddance to EVGA. This good hard earned money to spend unhappy PC enthusiast consumer won't be back.
FWIW I pulled the trigger on a GTX 1080 Nvidia FE reference card. Now this is the "wow blown away" Pascal experience I was looking and hoping for. The GTX1080 is a different beast all together vs the 1070 no matter what version or model or company brand I get that but just sayin'....this GTX 1080. Wow!

That ^^ and EVGA is one of the few companies that allow the Cooler to be removed to put on a Water Block and maintain your Warranty.

Oh the ignorance...What EVGA says is irrelevant. EVGA can not change the laws of physics. VRAM thermal pads are not touching the ram chips - Proven VRM are overheating to due ineffective design - Proven 100% of all cards use this design. - Proven

If you want to let your VRMs run at well over 110c+ and VRAM at 95c+ you are free to do so. Everyone else would like a unit with proper cooling and not have the components running at temperatures over their rated limit.

I'm hoping that based on a few of those laws of thermodynamics, the ACX 3.0 cooler on my 1080 FTW, and the pretty-warm air flowing out the 1080 card exhaust that I can keep those temps manageable. I WILL say I hope that someday either nVidia or EVGA will see the benefit of incorporating thermal monitoring on things like VRM chips on the video cards. I remember my EVGA X58-SLI mobo had it and those chips would be on "fy-ah"!

Who's to say your card isn't more prone to failure like the others without the modification?
Seems odd evga coins the term "optional", yet they have deemed the thermal pads important enough to install on every 1080 ftw card they manufacture from this point on.
I just bought a 1080ftw and I think I will be returning it for a 1080 hybrid, which at least seems to have proper vrm cooling.

They put the pads on there for newer cards as an improvement in the design. This doesn't mean that the current design is going to fail. Who says my card is more prone to failure...this is my whole frustration with the hype over this...you can't prove a negative. My GPU has never topped 65 C for temperature...GPU frequency is 2100 MHz...running full load 24/7 folding @ home...I'm confident that my VRMs are fine. (Instead of returning the FTW, you can purchase the hybrid kit and install it...will take you about an hour)

Don't fix what ain't broken.. Why would I modify a card that's two days old? Seems stupid. You can't really prove your card isn't more prone to failure, either, so I'm not sure why you're so frustrated? The fact that evga is adding this optional improvement on the design into their manufacturing process, in my opinion, is as good as admitting guilt. Seems to me you have a soft spot for evga. Either way, you seem confident in your opinion whether it is based on reality or not. I wish you all the best with your folding.

LOL - you are killing me here.
So - If a car manufacturer makes a modification 3 months after a new model is launched...then this proves that there is a problem with the cars produced before then????
If so - you had better stop buying new cars...or pretty much ANYTHING that is produced by ANY COMPANY.
/rant on
WOW. Please - get a clue, and stop with attacking me personally because I don't agree with you.
Again - as I said above - it's not in EVGAs (or any companies) best interest to try to "pull the wool" over the collective communities eyes, sit in a box, and ignore a problem. (You've already proven you are too smart for that!!! heh heh - yes you are!!!) The engineers say "things are within spec, but you can add these pads for extra comfort, but they are not required"...and this gets distorted into "the sky is falling and nothing works as all and EVGA design is faulty."
A bit about my background. I have a masters degree in electrical engineering, and an MBA. I am the COO of my company (which makes...gasp...electronics). I have 20 patents, and have designed more things that have improved your life, that you use every day (directly or indirectly) than you could possibly imagine. I have designed thousands of circuits, hundreds of products, written over 10 million lines of code, and shipped hundreds of millions of dollars based off my personal designs.
So - please - don't go telling me that my opinion is not based on reality (or whatever BS you are spewing) unless you can compete with that.
Do you even have a technical background or a engineering degree not from a Cracker Jack Box? Or are you just vomiting out the same line that's been puked all over the internet.
Please.

LOL - you are killing me here.
So - If a car manufacturer makes a modification 3 months after a new model is launched...then this proves that there is a problem with the cars produced before then????
If so - you had better stop buying new cars...or pretty much ANYTHING that is produced by ANY COMPANY.

WOW. Please - get a clue, and stop with attacking me personally because I don't agree with you.
Again - as I said above - it's not in EVGAs (or any companies) best interest to try to "pull the wool" over the collective communities eyes, sit in a box, and ignore a problem.

I give you a virtual case of beer Sir!!!! I commend you!!!!! Oh ... not YOU again! I knew you were cyber-stalking me! Anywho, yes, I most certainly have an engineering degree (BSES CS University of South Florida 1987) and a technical background and you'll notice I still vomit out the same line that's been puked all over the internet. Not only did I invent the series of tubes call the internets but I also invented the question mark (in before Apple claims THAT patent!). ah-HA again. I know you didn't aim that post at me but I don't care.

Evga should do a recall on the SC/FTW cards with how many issues they are having...
It's literally 33% of all SC/FTWs are defective out of the box! These are horrifying statistics!! Never will I ever buy a aftermarket PCB GPU from EVGA, not after reading dozens of accounts of RMAs on those cards, everything from fan issues, to overheating, to not running stable at stock clocks. What the hell, this is not normal of EVGA at all! I think after reading all these complaints I may even look at Asus or MSI for my next GPU, at least their aftermarket PCB's aren't all being sent back!
So how about you show me where evga has said a third of all ACX style cards have died from overheating. That sounds like a load of crap that was made up. Have fun having no warranty because both of them will make you RMA 5-20 times to get a working product if it breaks.
