I read the article on wccf.com in regards to the ACX 3.0 1070/1080's and the situation with the VRAM/VRM overheating and potentially burning down and I wanted to see if EVGA knows yet if this will also affect the ACX 3.0 1060's, and if so, what will come about of this.
 

The answer is no. The 1070/1080's don't have problems. Tomshardware testing methods were flawed.

You seriously need to stop saying this.  There is obviously a problem.  All these issues being reported, myself included are not a coincidence.  Get a grip and quit speaking for the company.  EVGA just needs to step up and take responsibility for this flaw and move on.  You telling people there are no problems is not helping anything.

Just cause EVGA "said it" doesn't mean its a fact yet. No-one really knows till Tomshardware follows up with new tests.

This is incorrect.
 
They use the same basic board, with the same chips that are used across gpus.  Yes they could. Time will tell.

The pads are optional.

You're incorrect. The 1060 does not use the same pcb as the 1070/1080.

Aren't they re-doing the tests with the pads? Wouldn't that be indicative of needing the pads? I mean why re-do the test at all with the pads if there is no problem? Why not just re-do the tests without the pads if the "methods were flawed"?

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact evga tech support @ 1-888-881-3842.

Its concerning that even the administrators are either in denial or playing it down (maybe by request to counter bad publicity).
I don't see the pads being optional. If cards are failing at a disturbing rate due to heat, then the pads start to seem mandatory.

Yes I missed that as my 1070 SC BURNED OUT before I found out about these problems.  Don't try your BS crap on me Sajin.  And of course they are "optional"  people have the option to either get them or not.  But not getting the mod is pretty much pulling the pin on a grenade.  I suggest you quit giving out false and misleading information to people until this most obvious of problems comes to center stage and you and the rest of the moderators quit trying to cover up this problem that isn't even your responsibility to do so.
