Anyone has a video tutorial? it would be nice if EVGA itself published it for affected models.
btw, i have bought a 5 years extended warranty, if the card breaks (let's say after two years) and it gets replaced, do i get one with the same model number? would the new card benefit from the 3 years of warranty left?

EVGA has not sent out the thermal pads. There will be instructions before the pads arrive.

Yes the replacement card carries the same warranty as the original card. The new card does not receive a new warranty date. If you RMA your card with 1 week left on the warranty, the new card will have 1 week left.

EVGA's RMA Department does reserve stock of different models of our product lineups both old and new and we strive to replace your product with the same model you sent in for warranty.
 
If we are running low on the model you sent in for warranty rather than having you wait, our policy is designed to offer you the next model that we do have available in stock based on equal or greater performance. EVGA will not downgrade your product's performance.
