I am selling this card and getting MSI, the cooler in this card is really bad and noisy it is a shame it has great price and cute shape !!

I don't think this is a *sound* reason to switch to any one vendor IMO. The card is operating fine, you just need to move things around in your case.

If any reference GPU is trapped and blocked by another card or has bad 'airflow' in the case for other reasons your *temp* results would generally fair the same; a Super-Hotttttt card under full-load.

Also, you will be missing the awesome EVGA forum folks who tend to be ultra friendly and knowledgeable on said subject matters. {No rage threads included.}

This is cliche, but its really true from my own experience [and surely many others'] evga's warranty and customer-care is truly the best there is.

Goodluck with MSI however...

Is there a way to install additional fan to cool this card more ?

I moved my sound card to another slot and temp now is 78c in mafia 3, mafia 3 is the only game that has low fps !!

Mafia III was originally capped to 30fps. They patched it, but since the game was never meant to run past 30, it does so sub-optimally. On high settings/DX11/1080p, Mafia averages 42FPS on a 1060, 56 on a 1080 according to Guru3D.

So wait...it wasn't EVGA's fault that the card was getting hot...it was how you built your system??
 
Are you still selling the card?

Well he isn't incorrect though, I just got my MSI 1080 Gaming Z replacement and it's running 55-58 degrees compared to EVGA's 73 stable even though it's at 1999,5 (this number) boost with EVGA at 1962 boost. And the fans are actually running slower than on the FTW as well as no noise at all + no coil whine.
 
I don't know what to say at this point except wishing I hadn't ever bought that 1080 FTW... The rest of my computer is the exact same and it's a pretty huge difference with this MSI card.
 
Let's hope this card doesn't start crashing at week 2, wish all of you EVGA customers the best possible results with your cards because mine were quite unsatisfactory.

Your card is running into its throttle point. That chart with max temperatures is all fun and good, but if Nvidia cards (ever from Kepler onwards, so since 2012) run past 80 C they will start running at considerably lower clocks unless you've done some specific core overclocking, and they will try hard to keep their temperature below 80 C.

True thermal throttling doesn't start until 94c is reached. Dynamic frequency control is what you're talking about, dynamic frequency control isn't true thermal throttling.
