I been a long time evga customer. I'm far from a lapdog/cheerleader for them. I currently own a GTX 1080 FTW purchased in July, I've had zero problems with the card. If by chance something happens, i know evga will take care of it. I did purchase an extended warranty for my GTX1080 FTW.
 
Like i said in another topic, quickest way evga could put customers minds at ease, is to extend the warranty on select 1070/1080 cards.  EVGA has done that in the past on select GPU's and power supplies.
 
If the customer has a 3 year warranty, bump up to 5 years.
If the customer has a 5 year extended warranty already, bump it up to 10 year.

Know what they say, one aw ****, wipes out all your attaboys. This will be my last EVGA Product. I have used Asus and their RMA in the past and it was just as easy and seamless as EVGA. I agree, an extended warranty would be a good show in faith, but guess they don't care.

What I'm really asking, what's going on if the graphic card makes damage on other parts of the computer ?

The motherboard for example ? evga will pay for that ?

That's not normal...
 
And can we know for those who had a burning cars, what was the temperature of the gpu ?

Yeh i don't think its that simple, there's a couple indirect observations to make. The main one being VRM's overheating VRAM thus blackscreens.
The VRAM themselves have also been independently reported to have a gap and not making physical contact. Components on the back of the 
PCB close to the VRM section have burnt out, no idea if the 2 is related, but yeh, few things at play here, and some of them "may" be related.
The temps themselves are difficult to record without a FLIR camera or direct VRM monitoring sensors. Specs are for 125/150c.

@op I'd be interested in pics of the burned out PCB (you can dismantle it and still claim a refund as EVGA warranty covers cooler disassembly from card) and if there are any other affected parts of your rig.

Yes but those who had the issue, even if it's not the same temperature, it would be a good information to know if the gpu was at 50 degres celsius in load or 75...

Mine is max at 50 degres celsius... I think its more safe like that no ?

You're referring to "core" temp, which is the temperature of the GPU itself, and nothing else. VRMs and memory cannot be monitored.
