Thanks for the info, nothing I can test sadly.

you can try Battlefield 1 if you have it. recently they had issues with single player BS'ing after about 1:30 hours of playing.
luckily, I'm okay playing longer than 2 hours on BF1 SP. but to most of people with Black screen, this seems like a threshold.

Afraid not. I'll try looping Firestrike, alternatively I can try either Doom or wait a bit and try my luck with Dishonored 2 since I'm buying it anyway.
But because I'm the odd man out for whom the issue hasn't manifested I can probably just get away with applying for the thermal pads (or buying them myself) and installing them, at least for some peace of mind.
Funny how my last three cards all had some issues - my EVGA 760 SC didn't OC at all, Gigabyte 970 G1 had god-awful coil whine and now this.

am i the only one with the classified who got this issue?
the weird thing is that the chip itself is only getting 60 Degrees hot (shown in afterburner). so i am not sure if the vram is getting too hot.
but what else would force a 100% fan-curve? this sounds like a emergency-system that bumps up the fans when a part of the card is getting too hot

Monitoring software such as MSI Afterburner and EVGA PrecisionX OC only show the temperatures of the GPU core and not that of the VRAM or VRMs. In my opinion and based on my own experiences, the black screen issue does seem to be a result of VRMs and/or VRAM getting too hot causing the card to shutdown and ramp the fans to 100% to protect itself. I never saw the GPU go above 82 C in summer (when it was ironically stable and black screen-free) but they would happen when the core was between 30 and 75 C. In fact, in a few games the issue happened during pre-rendered cutscenes when the GPU was running at low-power 2D clock speeds (in Mafia 3 and Gears of War 4). If the core wasn't overheating when the black screen issues happened then it stands to reason that it much be something else such as the VRAM or VRMs, especially as I was running with a +250 MHz offset on the memory.

I still maintain my position that the BS100% issue is not caused (solely) by hot temps because I experienced the issue on my 1st FTW Hybrid card, which also cools the VRM. I suggest you all just email EVGA tech support. So much FUD here. VRM is not the same as VRAM...

Do you have BF1? Got this issue since i play it :/ and i use a custom fan profile to stay below 65 C

Contact support and get an Advance RMA to replace your defective card. 

Recently, there are many customers wanting to know more details about the EVGA GeForce 1080 FTW “Black Screen” issue and we believe we need to make a clear statement to clear all kinds of speculation.
 
The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW “Black Screen” issue was fixed as of the first week of September and this has been confirmed by all users who have received the replacement units with the issue resolved. Also, all new production has been confirmed to not have this issue after the first week of September.
 
This previous black screen issue was caused by On Semiconductor (VRM IC Manufacturer) VRM IC’s being out of spec, triggering the OCP (Over Current Protection) and will not cause any damage to your system. The percentage of the IC’s that were out of spec has been confirmed by On Semiconductor and is approximately 3% to 4%. Since then, EVGA and On Semiconductor have worked out the solution and RMA replacement action a couple months ago as we stated above.  At this moment, all of the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW’s have been corrected and all products in the field are working properly.

How does this explain some people that received RMAs as recent as two weeks ago and still experience the issue?
Not to be tough on you at all, but there are several long time loyal EVGA customers that are now facing frustrating situations.

Dear ElBartoME,
 
I can confirm that all cards shipping today are 100% updated.  Unfortunately we have had one or two cards ship from our Europe office recently that did not have this update and one of them was your product.  I am very sorry for any inconvenience that this did cause and thank you for allowing us to work with you to have your product exchanges once more.

Not true. My RMA card blackscreened and it was shipped two weeks ago.
