After updating the BIOS from the default my card shipped with, to the latest version, my idle temps have jumped by about 5 degrees.
I have a 1070 FWT DT.
Unfortunately I did not backup the previous version.
My idle temps went up from 47 to 52 degrees.
 
Anyone else notice something similar ?

You have a cooling problem.....I have a FTW 1070 with updated primary Bios. My idle temp is 35-38 (after upate). Be sure to have good cooling and airflow in your case. 

Thanks, I'll try and see if I can replace the fans with better one's.
I have two 12CM intake fans and 1 12cm outlet. Plus a 200 CM top fan extracting.

at this forum, sorry i dont have time to find out all these for you. flashing bios in my opinion is very simple, even flashing most of the other aib's bios are fine and safe, with the bypassed nvflash. 

When they fail at flashing they ask for tips. Later when they find out it worked, or they did it in safe mode and it worked, they usually do not reply again saying it worked.
It looks worse than it is with the flashing.

Hi i'm sorry but i didn't understand the dual bios updates....i have the above card, should i run both primary and secondary bios updates?

Thanks

Removed If you had anything. you would post it. You are hillarious. Why on earth would you think you could take this issue to court?  You got nothing.... "truth and facts".... you haven't posted any of it. Just told me to look certain words up in google. You are the most hillarious person I've ever met. You think you know something and when it comes to put facts on the table.....you got NOTHING!

Take a deep breath and start reading the thread starting by the page 1.
My card is gone, in transit to EVGA facilities since 2:15PM today, i'm now waiting EVGA to process as asked, and accepted, the full refund and will surely not fall for your trap now. Beside my number of post please me well (101), so i'll end it here: Good luck everyone.
Please avoid words with "stars" in it, as a moderator pointed it earlier to a customer, they are against the TOS.

Cant wait to see the next episode GFAFS 

Yeah, the forums have turned into a soap opera.

Has anyone been seeing a degradation of overclocks on your cards? I have a very aggressive fan curve setup where the fans are 100% at 70C and when I first got the cards I was able to get ram 4750mhz and core to 2138mhz running any game and or benchmark never surpassing 72C. Yet after hearing about this problem I went back to run some benchmarks to see if anything has changed and noticed that I am now seeing artifacting on 3dmark and heaven benchmark with 4750mhz on ram, so I had to drop ram overclock to 4500 mhz to keep card from artifacting. Also I was not able to get through a single benchmark when overclocked to my original 2138mhz on the core and ended up having to settle at an overclock of 2063mhz which yes is not that much and is still a very decent overclock. However I got the FTW card specifically for overclocking potential and was very happy with the results at first and now am a little upset to see them drop so much after just three months of use and not very hard use as I dont game as often as I would like. So please let me know if anyone else has seen any of these problems. I am still waiting on my thermal pads and maybe that will help cool the components better to get me back to my original overclocks. As of now I wonder if it would have been better to just do a cross ship with evga for a new card

Hi,
 
how can I rollback the BIOS for my 1060 SC (06G-P4-6163-KR) ? Can I just install the old bios (the one that introduced 0db-fan) over this one?
 
 
Thanks.

Yes I've noticed mine has also changed.
 
When I first got the card straight out of the box without changing any settings it was boosting to 2000mhz in 3DMark. Same settings, nothing changed and can't only get in the mid to low 1900mhz (can't remember exact numbers).

if the temps as posted on toms hardware are to be believed, then it would suggest that under heavy load, (and/or additional voltage also causing excess heat) the memory has been running out of spec, above the thermal specification.
 
I don't want to start causing panic, or suggesting damage has been caused, though from those figures, a stock card was running VRM/VRAM ~14°C hotter than core, I have no idea how much extra heat is generated from overclocking both from the VRM efficiency tailing off and/or VRAM modules seated on the thermal pads
