To make sure the card handles everything. It's a common stress tool to test thermal performance of graphic cards. For the same reason you test the system stability with OCCT or Prime 95.

Is there any temp sensor on the VRMs on the 1080?
My 1080SC is running cool as ever with my own fan profiles.

I've been warning people LONG AGO that the stock EVGA fan profiles were broken and not utilizing the fans of the ACX properly, shame that this issue got addressed so late.

You haven't been warning anything. The profiles are fine.
On lesser cards with the same cooling they al run fine.
Stop fear mongering.

I have the GTX 1080 FTW. I have already flashed both primary and secondary bios. The thermal pads arrived for me yesterday and I installed them. I used my own Tuniq TX-4 thermal paste instead of what came in the kit. I tested the card after putting it all back together. I'm seeing a 10-11 degree DROP in temps while playing Battlefield 1 for about 45 minutes. Ambient temp was 73 degrees F.

Could this be attributed more to the TX-4 paste or the thermal pads? Just curious. Install was simple.. just tedious.

GPU temp BEFORE mod during BF1 - Ambient temp 73F --- 58C
GPU temp AFTER mod during BF1 - Ambient temp 73F --- 47C

Same here, saw a decrease in temps. I use the Gelid Extreme thermal paste and with the thermal pad mod on both the VRM and VRAM I saw a temp decrease of 4 degrees.

1060 FTW+ DT owner still waiting for the VBIOS update. Fans don't spin at all on my machine when in BIOS/UEFI.

Techpowerup is mistakenly reporting that all the VBIOSes have been rolled out, but 1060 FTW+ owners are currently SOL.

So I'm a little confused, I'm having a 1060 FTW+, which has the affected 06G-P4-6368, but I can't find a BIOS update for it.
My current VBIOS option is 86.06.27.00.06, am I facing overheating? What are my options?

It looks like you are part of the thermal mod updates...not the bios update.

I used the thermal paste that came with the thermal pads and also saw about 10c drop in temperatures and saw my overclock come back to what I had it when new as I have needed to drop them before installing the thermal pads as temps were getting too high
