I live in Brazil, so I bought a GTX 1070 FTW (which is a very expensive card here, about 2400 reais) because it should have one of the best air cooling performance, since my room temperature is about 30 degree Celsius.
The pads will be sent to Brazil too? We will have to pay for the shipment? Brazil is still in crisis, so the shipment should be disproportionately expensive because the price of the dollar is too high in our currency. Hope EVGA will do something for me.
Sorry for my bad english 

Just a thought,
 
Maybe as a good will gesture, EVGA could offer registered 1070/1080 owners one of the Hybrid AIO kits at a much reduced price?....

Wow, looking through build pictures, found "blueing"


 

Am i right in assuming that the dark area on that heatsink is located above the VRM's ?
Strange that there's no flat surfaces on the heatsink area for the VRM's to flush up
against like you typically see. Bit worrying if that's the case. Doesn't appear to be a 
very efficient method of extracting heat away from them. And who would know any
better really, we can't monitor VRM temperatures for accurate observations there.

I have to say, I find it bonkers that people are so ''happy'' about free thermal pads. 
 
Great so you've messed up, and now expect me to take apart an incredibly delicate, expensive GPU and perform risky maintenance on it. Hell no am I doing that. 
 
EVGA are being very careful in their statements so not to trigger a wave of RMA's, but there is 100% a fundamental issue here. Way too much smoke. My 1070SC has this BS+fan problem, so it's likely affecting their entire ACX range. 
 
I have no choice but to RMA, so now i'm going to have that hassle and downtime with no GPU. So thanks alot EVGA. The fact this situation even exists is incredibly poor form. Who's doing QA? Not good enough.

Hello,
First read the ram issue with Micron, now Overheating Issues, what is next coming..?
I give 600euro to my country for the 1070FTW and such a company Evga is, from the beginning they can't put the pads
for a cost 1-2 euro that costs for Evga and prefer to have a negative picture for the company? It's shame.
If someone can't put the pads or afraid to cause a damage to the card what happen then?
The easy solution for evga to provide us the pads and we take the responsible to damage or not, it's annoying me who paid 600euro.
EVGA if respect their customers, must recall and replace the cards with cards as it should be from the beginning (include the thermald pads).
If they can't, then give us the money back.

Would the GTX 1080 Classified have this problem ? Seeing as it is a bigger card.

Yes, all cards based on ACX3.0 cooler are affected

As they told me that ''much of the information you are indicating is not correct'' then why so "noise" around the thermal issues and a free
offering of thermal pads.
At the end "These pads however are entirely not necessary for the cards ran as intended" I leave the card as it is
and if burnt then evga would replace it..!!???
So is it there a problem/issue or not?

How many people have had VRMs explode - a handful against 1,000s sold. That means it's not a problem. If something happens in the warranty period it will get fixed. After that you're on your own as always.

If you think Asus or any of the other manufacturers would give a crap ( or even offer an option) in this same situation you're deluding yourselves.

With the same logic
Evga doesn't have 1$ to put from the beginning the thermal pads and then provide s the cards?

If his issue was (like most people) - I can't figure out how to / don't want to install additional thermal pads, that's fair. But his issue is he bought a $400 card and now claims he doesn't have another $5. That made me chuckle - one of the more ridiculous things I've heard this week but in all fairness it's not nearly as entertaining as all the meltdowns that have been occurring.

The point he was trying to make was, if "another $5" seems to be all about nothing, then why skimp on installing these
in the first place at the factory. Besides that, if you payed any attention to this forum, you'd realize that there has been
many many posts in regards to the 1060, 1070, and 1080 with temperature issues. So this isn't an isolated issue lol.
