Does the VBIOS for the fan speed, also address the Micron Memory Artifacts if you have updated to this BIOS, from your original factory?
 
I have Micron Memory on my card, and get the checkerboard artifact, and then system reboot (W10 Pro).  I just installed this .72 VBIOS, and hope this also addresses the Micron Memory artifact glitch, within this one update.  Can anyone confirm this?
 
 

These BIOSes do include Micron fixes.

OK....thank you...I misread your post, thinking you said that they do NOT include. So..therefore...I am good to go.  Thanks again for the response.

chizowI could have returned my 1070 SC to Best Buy or Advanced RMA'd it for a new unit, but I'll go ahead and do the thermal pad and BIOS mod myself to help them cut their losses.

Lol. First, you buy a product from Best Buy. Why, to make sure one of the worst retailers in terms of pricing doesn't lose business? And now you are willing to fix the mistake of a manufacturer by performing a mod and flashing BIOS yourself so "they can cut their losses"???
 
Amazing.

I have a question, I updated the VBIOS and installed the pads on my SC Black Edition. Everything seams fine, but it looks like If I don't open EVGA Precesion software, the fan cure is still like it was before the update 0% when Idle. Is this normal ?
 
I prefer this fan curve as it makes the card dead silent. With the thermal pads installed is a fan curve with 0% fan speed when temps are lower than 50C is good enough ?.

I'm still on "Awaiting Shipment"................

I don't think the Best Buy 6173-KB are affected. First bios update fixed Micron/Elpida VRAM overclocking issues.

Anybody from Brazil got the pads yet? Two weeks after shippment and nothing.

They sent mine 11/11... still a few days for 2 weeks.

I just received my replacement card today. It came in a sealed retail box and inside you can even see the security tape to prevent tampering. So does this mean I received a brand new card instead of a refurb?

I'm no Electrickery EngineEar But I can see what looks like a missing component in both shown and linked image. 
Labeled "R3110" Bottom middle of second image.
Seems rather coincidental that both those components blew right next to a empty pad, maybe the wave soldering of this board dislodged this component, and it was responsible for regulation of the ones that blew?
