Can EVGA give us a tracking number? I live in South America so i have no idea of how international shipping works and if it can be tracked at all but the thermal pad page haven't been updated anymore (last update: Request Shipped 11/09/2016 (Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery). There is no tracking number, at least for me.

Dae, vc é do Brasil?
 
Você fez o update da bios?
 
Eu pedi os pads e tá na mesma situação que o seu Request Shipped 11/09/2016 (Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery)
 
Ainda não fiz o bios update

It's against the forum rules to speak in others languages outside the warranty sub-forum but yes, i updated the BIOS.

Sorry,
What about the noise level, is it loud? And the temperature, is it cooler? Do you recommend the update? Thanks

It depends on your case, i have a Corsair 780T running at full speed so even with the new BIOS update i can hardly hear the GPU fans spinning, i even increased the fan curve even more since i like lower temps more than a quiet PC.
 
You can test it yourself without installing the BIOS, just increase the fan speed to like 1900~2100 rpm with EVGA Precision, that's the speed you will probably be getting with the new BIOS while playing games (at idle it will still be at 0% fan speed like before).
 
As for temps it decreased around 5c compared to the older BIOS.

Cool

I ll test with evga precision

Thanks for the tip !

Hey guys, I got my thermal mod kit and installed it, but was wondering if this is a big deal or not:
 

 
Should I take it apart and adjust the position of the pad?

If you placed the pads where EVGA said to place them, I think you will be just fine.

Beautiful bios update now my 1080 classy fans don't spin while idle

I received my 1080 FTW RMA replacement and the new card is alot cooler then the old one.
 
 My first 1080 was seeing temps of 82c when playing battlefield 1 and it was making Alot of heat in my PC case.
 The RMA 1080 is not going over 62c in BF1 and my PC case is alot cooler.   Its no longer acting like a space heater in my room.

Hey saw this driver thanks to driver booster warning (can driverbooster install this update without any problem ?)
I did not update my GTX 1060 SC gaming with using
forums.evga.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1060-BIOS-Update-Single-Fan-Models-Only-m2520978.aspx (looks like i can't post links)
So can I use the latest update in this thread now ? or I need to use the one in the link first ?
Btw I get 70 80 temp in Ark Survival with %60-70 fanspeed according to MSI Afterburner. What if I just use it to have more fanspeed ? What is the steady fan useage with this update ?

EVGA Germany has afaik shipped the pads to all FTW customers that requested them, the other follow this week.

EVGA Europe didn't ship to me. I have two GTX 1070 FTW and it is still awaiting shipment

Got mine here in the UK through Royal Mail and it was sent from the UK as far as I can tell - so what country are you in?
 
It looks like they might be shipping on a per-country basis, since the EU warehouse is closed, meaning that UK and DE offices are  on the ball, other might not be...
