Is SC affected? And if not - why?

I think it is related to the FTW more than the SC
It looks the FTW VRAM design is very close to the hotspot, the hotspot is still there on the SC but it is not very close to the VRAM like the FTW so EVGA just offering the thermal pad for all the ACX series as it will still lower the temps on the SC but it looks the FTW is much more affected by this issue.

Disappointing EVGA didn't decide to install these from the beginning, seems like an obvious and affordable move to increase the thermal overhead and keep the customers happy. 
 
 

I bought my FTW card from Amazon with international shipping to Egypt, what can EVGA do for me in that case if I want to send back the card? sending the card back to Amazon is going to cost me $150 shipping cost and I have to order a new card and pay again international shipping and import fess which is total $200, so total loss for me is $350.

Must read!!
EVGA promising to replace cards.

Wow. My 1080 had to be replaced twice due to black screen and fan issue. I've order the thermal pads, but it just feels like I'm QCing the cards for them at this point. I'm concern what new issue is going to pop up next week or next month.

Anyone else with a 1070 FTW getting frequent crashes in games, with the screen stuck as it was and sound looping on your speakers?  My card worked fine for a couple months, but now consistently crashes, with graphically demanding games crashing the quickest.

I cant find the information if GTX 1070 SC Gaming is also affected with this issue?
 
If yes, I will send card back (got it from Amazon, so I have 30 days time to send back)
I just want to avoid to get problems in few months, because then I have to send the card for RMA and that will take time. For sure 3 weeks. I want live without PC so long

I've not seen a report of the SC having this issue, but EVGA is offering pads for free for that card as well. I've already put my request in for my 1070 SC(can't hurt right?), I've never had a reason to take a GPU apart, so I'm actually kind excited to do it.

Yeah voopvoop. My 1070 SC has frequent crashes and black screens with sounds continuing.

Bad luck, but in how bad you are the change, Amazon always gives the face, in my country the pccomponentes store does not return me the money or I change it on the other end you will have to face EVGA since I bought warranty for 5 years, at that time if your problem explodes, I have not been to blame for his wrong doing.

My crashes don't go to black screen - rather, the monitor keeps showing the last image of the game at the time of crash.  Very weird.
