so the issue is that not all of the memory pads on the memory chips and vrm are touching the support plate? here's a pic from thg review with stock pads, which one is EVGA sending? i'm using dual GTX 1070 FTW in sli, my top card usually hovers around 83C and bottom around 74C with no issues, no OC, but i ran both with 2025/8600 for some time as well with same temps and no issues





 
The pads they're sending go on the back plate, not the top plate.

 have applied additional thermal pads between the backplate and the PCB and between the baseplate and the heatsink fins, with the results shown below. We will offer these optional thermal pads free of charge to EVGA owners who want to have a lower temperature.

Does this affect the 1070 ftw? I dont have money to buy thermal paste right now because broke q_q


So you bought a $400 card and don't have $5 for thermal paste? This thread keeps delivering.



My cards were bought for me. I didn't buy them, don't make assumptions. I just don't have money in my online account to buy paste and wont for 2 weeks lol. I guess i'm just waiting.




It's still ridiculous.  Maybe you should have asked for money instead to put in the bank so you can afford a meal or... a $5 tube of paste.

Wow the guy put A LOT of work into this. I think this pic shows the issue quite nicely.

Or you know, these enthusiast grade cards shouldn't have these issues in the first place, they shouldn't be catching on fire.

Thanks EVGA_JacobF and eVGA. Request filed.

EVGA needs to release FTW hydro copper (blocks only) to customers soon. I know it won't solve everyone's problem but certainly will solve mine. I just can't wait to loop this thing. hopefully backplate will stay attached.

iirc when you have more phases and so more vrms those should be cooler than having less power phases like the reference pcb
so i don't understand why the ftw cards are so hot... maybe it is really because they don't have enough cooling on those parts


It does have more phases, but it is not a 180W card like the reference.


Zotac has TDP of 300W msi next 300w which justifies the FTW have 215W?

TDP is not power consumption. TDP is the amount of thermal energy the cooling solution is designed to dissipate.
