Well since i posted this thread amonth back it seems that the problem was related to the vrm overheating issue afterall ...
I got my replacement card from EVGA europe super fast ... big thnx to the team there but now im worried that this card will go bad as well ... anyone knows if they addressed this problem with the replacement cards ??? I oredered the pads from evga and still waiting on them ...
Furthermore, now i have another 1080 ftw hybrid ..running in sli with the replacement card .. waiting as well on the 1080 ftw hybrid to hit amazon as evga does not accept international cc's ..
Should o worry about the hybrid as well .. does it have the same problem ? Anyone ?
Glad you finally found out the truth. One of these days all these people denying it here will too and we can all move on and figure how to cure this rather than avoiding. As far as I know at this point, it is any EVGA 1070/1080 Pascal card that has a back plate. I see some mixed things about those manufactured after 8/30 being ok. My 1070 SC burned out last week after 4 months use, so it was before the 8/30 date. Good luck to you :)
Cool story bro! Did you notice that the PCIe power was not even plugged into the GPU? So, what does that video have to do with anything?
First of all, I didn't even reference the video. Second of all, some power is provided through the board slots. The pin connections are simply for more power to the PCB (which is even more concerning it happened with low wattage applied). Third of all was this spontaneous combustion? An illusion like your mental capacity? Please quit hijacking peoples threads with your nonsense. You should have better things to do like inhaling your hemi fumes.
Interesting. So we really don't know what happened here, but you decided to make up a story and then direct further insults my direction. That doesn't seem to say much about your credibility.
"Well since i posted this thread a month back it seems that the problem was related to the vrm overheating issue afterall ... " That is from the OP. Good lord dude get a grip. All I was saying was I was happy he found his issue. I really don't care whatsoever what credibility you give me. I am just a paying customer of EVGA who had problems. Period.
No, you're actually the one screaming for folks to NOT BUY EVGA based on your opinion that 'every 1080 and 1070 with a backplate' is defective. Such an alarming claim needs credible evidence. So far, besides a couple of reports of failing SMD devices, there is none. This is separate from the VRM/Memory area running hotter than other models. If you had stuck with reporting your issue and trying to get a resolution, I wouldn't be saying a thing. But no, you decided to advocate a complete boycott and post several insults to those pointing out the evidence, doesn't align with your histrionics. That isn't acceptable in my opinion. The offer for you to provide evidence that every 1070 and 1080 with a back plate is defective is still open.
