I heard this temperature problems, and I checked my EVGA card.
(EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0)
And I found some gap between the Memory and the thermal pad.
 
Well this is disappointing.

My first 1070 FTW when suffering from heat realized that a screw was not totally screwed, i had to change the position of screws to screw it completely, check it.

I checked the screws. Looks good location, and tight.
 
Normally I can change the thermal pads to bigger.
But first wait the answer from support. They repair it, or I need to repair.
If I repair is more faster, but maybe lose the warranty.
 
For thermal pad and thermal paste replacement. I plan to use Thermal Grizzly product.
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut
Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8

 
The thing is that I don't want to mess with it. It's EVGA's responsibility to give consumers a reliable card and please give EVGA owners a statement about what the real issue is if there is one.

so it seems that only a certain batch of 1080 FTWs shipped out with the faulty TIM/Thermal Pads on the memory chips? i recently picked up one; any way to tell if my card is in the faulty batch?
 
also, if we get the thermal pad mod kit and install it ourselves, does this invalidate our warranty on the card? i haven't seen an official response on that.

So, I checked my 1070 FTW, all pads are touching memories and VRM.
 
My card uses samsung memories, so its early in production line.
Even so, I'll put those pads when (if) they arrive, Better safe than sorry.
 

I do not trust more in EVGA after this kind of problem, as suspected if such cooler was efficient now i have not, to start the GPU heatsink blocks the direct airflow in VRAM sink now see problems with thermal pads that have not contact, ultra low TDP, a lot of energy phase for anything.

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

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

Has anyone tested 1070 FTW temps via infrared?

There was 7 takes the last one being Battlefield 1 at 99% gpu usage and 42% fan speed the GPU core and VRM were 72.0 C and 86.3 C, respectively. (+14.3 C) and that is fine i am going to run a custom fan profile on my card when it gets here as 42% at max load kinda low To be honest. Also would not use furmark on these cards EVER!

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

Adding more phases does not reduce heat.
