Just got my thermal pads. I was surprised to see they're also including thicker ones for the ram chips since that guy posted the stock ones not really making contact with the heatsink. Just fyi.

its been 3 weeks and my evga pads is still awaiting shipment?

Yup, makes one wonder if doing a normal, not advanced rma would be faster.

So, for the moment, can we say there isnt a single case of overheating ?
All the issues are for the 3/4% defecive components ?

Received my pads yesterday, but since they said updated bios is enough,  i will not install the pads for now.
I'm not gifted anyway. IF something happens (but i'm not worried) ->RMA

We can say there is a 100% chance of shoddy cooling design and lack of meaningful QA.

Got my pads yesterday and installed them.

I got the vram, baseplate and backplate thermal pads for my 1070 SC yesterday.  Installation process was easy thanks to decent instructions. Although I wasn't too concerned having an SC and not a FTW version, I just want to play games without thoughts of my card dying and was annoyed that I had to go through this on an expensive (to me) graphics card to gain some peace of mind. But, I think EVGA responded in a reasonable manner to a bad situation and I thank them for their support and solution.

Indeed there is a lack of proper QA section on this, or even make some useful edits to the initial post in this thread to avoid the "why do I have to use so much time reading all the crap in this thread": it's embarrassing. That goes as well for the updates/info on thermal pads status. How hard can it be to come with qualified estimates on these things, rather than the standard "in a couple of weeks"?
 

I have the 06G-P4-6163-KR - EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC. Is my card affected by these issues? I updated the bios but I notice some people RMAing cards and such.
