They will have it update soon. EVGA has to have it approved by Nvidia or it won't load properly. It should be out very soon.

Will they not offer a refund? because I bought a 1070FTW a little over a month ago for it's quietness among other things,  this and i do not want to install thermal pads myself, and was told buy a customer service agent I would have to pay for shipping to have it replaced. This is my first EVGA product and it will be my last if I have to pay anything to have it replaced.

What should be the nominal and under high load temperatures for the VRM's on these cards according to factory specifications? Even with a fan curve modification/bios update it still seems to be around 95 degrees Celsius according to Gamer Nexus. That still seems quite high with that being close to the boiling point of water (100C) although it isn't water, but temperatures of 90/95C+ are usually still a reason for alarm. Does any electronics technician have any more information on this?
Also, what will the temperature be after the thermal pads modification?
 
Tweet with temps: 

What you can't forget is that they were pushing the cards to the limit with furmark loops. They'll never reach those temps when gaming.

How do you know? Future games are not here yet.. People are having problems without running Furmark. 
Me included.. And in SLI they get a lot hotter, at least on the GPU.

Shame on EVGA... dont understand why there isnt a free RMA service for every customer...
 
In fact, I understand, money money... like they tried to spare with those thermal pads 

And also, can you erase the subtitle of thie 1000 series forum ?
 
"Gaming Perfected"

What a joke

Right now they are waiting for the story to blow on their faces to act, "Typical", they should not, because it will if they don't react fast enough and make the right move. They're not afraid yet by a 4 pages thread, but mark my words it'll be 20 times more in a few days.
I think my 100K subscribers will love my future IR/thermal video of the card - Handling 3DSmax with GPU rendering.
 
Anyway, wait and see.

after benching using heaven for a good 2 hours this is the hottest the back plate got near the vrm. Maybe I'm just lucky but this is still pretty cool.

My 1070FTW is my first EVGA card and now this... I chose for it because it was supposed to be silent, cool, 2slot, and EVGA was said to be a quality brand. 
 
After the BIOS update it won't be silent anymore and one of my main reasons for this purchase got obsolete. And seriously EVGA, you are expecting me to tear apart a €470 card to fix your mess? You got to be kidding me... I don't buy such an expensive "quality" brand to spend my spare time in fixing issues. This is ridiculous.
 
The least that I would expect is a free RMA or a free extension to 5 year warranty (just to be safe about long term effects of this issue).

The backplate has no contact with the VRM. So it is normal that it doesn't heat up that much.
