Crap!  I never noticed that GPU-Z would allow me to do that or I would have...  Too late now, I'll work with EVGA to correct.

The status of thermal pads change, now says "pending shipment" but whats means? 1. The ship its coming 2. The ship is taking more time.

Well I am not holding my breath. I ordered on Oct 25, and last time I checked it said, "awaiting shipment." Or very similar. I ended up finding the measurements of all pads inc. thickness of course and have bought my own.
I think EVGA have received a deluge of requests, so I guess that statement means, "Not shipped yet, and no idea when we will." Could be waiting aloooooonnngggg time.
Good luck getting them this month for what it's worth. 

Could you please post the measurements of all the pads?

Yeah. For the original 2 places, (Back plate, and above VRMs The back plate one is 2mm, the thin one above the VRMs in 1mm. But this is for the FTW which I have. The thickness is a bit different for non FTW. But, I know this thread is long, but the thickness of for all cards pads, of the first two fixes are posted several times in this thread. I recommend you check for yourself for piece of mind, and if your card is not FTW you will need to because I can't remember that. (doesn't apply to me.)
 
About the recent additional pads, the ones which are stuck or put onto the VRAMS themselves this is pretty new. I haven't seen definitive measurements from EVGA (I may have missed it, but I think not.)
Several people have measured and the consensus for the vrams is 1.5mm to be safe. 1 mm would probably be fine and each card will have tiny differences so I have ordered 1.5mm for the VRAMS. If it's tight, I don't see it as a problem. They will be compressed and at max they would only be a fraction of a mm to thick. Best thing is to read through here and decide about VRAM pads yourself, I am only expressing an opinion.
But, the measurements for the other two are clear and easy to find in this massive thread.
Just for the heck of it I list what I am doing. (FTW only). Large one backplate 2mm. Thin one above VRMS/mosfets 1mm. The VRAMS themselves are below that and it's a new finding so I am going with 1.5mm for them. I have spare 1mm in case it is too thick, but several people have already done the new VRAM mod and they all used 1.5mm from reading most of the posts on this massive thread.
Don't take my word for it though. I know I am right about the first two (one thick pad and one thin one) Not 100% about the new issue of VRAMS, and I am only referring to the FTW. Obvious but worth saying - the original thermal pad kit contained pads for two places. The new ones (starting a day or two ago?) are for another place. So, doing everything will require a BIOS update, and application of thermal pads on three seperate places, not the original two. Does that help?

GREAT! Buit what is the size of each pad...like 25x43. The actual size of each pad?  

If you need it for the standard 1080 ACX, sent me a PM and I mail it to you. For the SC and FTW techpowerup has those in their BIOS database.

Thank you, I will check.
For the thickness of the pads, the official statement from EVGA, is 1 mm for all their cards. So I don't know where you got 1.5 mm and 2 mm from.

New guide up that includes memory thermal pad install

 

Are the thermal pads that are being sent out going to include the VRAM pads in addition to the baseplate and backplate pads?

yes.

I think its better buy the pads because is taking so a long time to ship this, i really sorry for EVGA because the next time i buy some graphic card the last option will be EVGA. 

 
Agreed. That's what I'm doing. Just waiting on 1.5mm set!

About thickness. If you checkout the whole thread you will see these 2mm all over the place. 1.5mm is not as certain.
As for the origin of this info, good point. I think it was issued by Jacob or other EVGA rep? Oh, and on the Hexus video, they measured, live, the set from Evga. The biggest backplate one was exactly 2mm.
That's certain.
EDIT: the post you linked, I guess was before this whole issue arose. It may even be the reason in some cases for the new VRAM pads? But, absoutely 2mm is correct. Please check Nexus who used a kit provided by evga. Cheers.

Yes, I don't know, couldn't find that info, only thickness info. Thing is that's easy to determine with a ruler and following the video guide, so it's not really needed. I am surprised that this hasn't been published though. But, I didn't really look for that as I was planning on doing my own measurments anyway, may have missed it. Once the thinkness is clear, the dimensions will be easy to do.

No no this information from EVGA is related to this issue, so I will stick with the recommended 1 mm from EVGA.  Regarding to the link to Techpowerup about  the size of the pads. There is no info about size of the pads, so why do you link to something not available?  Even more strange....why do you want pm about size of the pads for the standard card? Is it secret?
Yes i know there is a lot of misleading posts about the thickness. It's very annoying people post wrong numbers. They think they know somethng, and pretending to be "specialists".
