Would it be possible to put up the original firmware for people using the thermal pads? I also did not know i could backup the firmware using GPU-Z so already to late for me. I got the 1080 FTW gaming AC3.0
It seems from what i read that the card will run much cooler with the pads and the extra fan speed will not really be necessary. What do you think?

Use Afterburner or Precision to make your own custom fan curve. Don't need to revert the BIOS really.

 
Sure, i will be using Precision on the side with the original FW. I like to have it lower to start with and modify it upwards then the other way around.

Hi.
Sorry this may have already been answered elsewhere, but could you tell me when the thermal pads will be sent to the uk as it says I am still awaiting shipping?
 

Hello, how long does it take to get the pads to NY ?? please

Many people, myself included, do not want to run any additional software on their computer so they cannot use a custom fan curve.  The new fan curve is far too aggressive and has turned my card into a small Hoover.  Even the second iteration that they just released is still too loud.  If we have the thermal pads in place we shouldn't need this new noisy fan curve if I am understanding the issues correctly.  Having said that, I would like to be able to use an Official EVGA update program to restore my original fan curve when my new card with proper thermal pads arrives.

They released a modified version?

Do I need to install the primary and secondary bios? Sorry if its a dumb question.

If you use both yes, if you only use one, you only need to up-date this one.

Ok so if only 1 vid card installed only need the one then. Gotcha Thanks for the info

Question on the 06G-P4-6163-KR - EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC. For this model there is no Thermal Pad Kit available, only a BIOS Update Primary BIOS (86.06.39.00.62).
 
What are the changes in the fan control? Is that Bios with the 0db Feature at IDLE mode?

No, it depends if you have a card with 2 BIOS versions (FTW + Classi). Those have  switch with which you can switch between primary and secondary BIOS. It has nothing to do with the number of cards installed.

A BIOS update will only update the BIOS that's currently being used on the card. So, if you want to update both BIOSes, then you have to run the BIOS update once, then shut-down the PC, switch the dual-BIOS to the other BIOS, then boot up the PC and run the BIOS update again, so that the second BIOS also gets updated.
 
If you only update one of the BIOSes for a dual-BIOS card, the other BIOS will remain untouched.
