mytwocents: i think evga should reveal the reasons of the caught fire cases in order to show ftw card can run in spec without additional pads.
They did a test and it performed within spec, articles on mobipicker.com and techpowerup.com are the first Google results, it won't let me post a link.
I don't think it's entirely possible for EVGA to verify the cause of each and every claim, there are too many variables with each setup, and as demonstrated by some of the posts on this forum, it becomes hearsay pretty quickly. Someone could say they were running on a particular setting, but really they were doing something else entirely, etc. etc.
