Hi. 
First off, I'm new to this whole situation, and this is my first post - so be gentle.
 
I have the 1080 '08G-P4-6284-KR' card with dual Bios. But I can't find out how I 'set the card to correct bios' before applying donloaded bios(es). I don't see any setting for this in the nVidia program, and (I've searched) no clear info on this in this forum either.
 
Yesterday I downloaded both versions, but when applied in noticed the latter 'speeding' through the process, which made me think it might have applied itself to the first bios also.
 
Any help is much appreciated.

if you look on the card itself, you'll see a tiny switch by the power connector - this toggles between primary/secondary bios. Flash the bios you currently have it on (left on the primary normally) then power down, flip the switch, reboot and flash the other one

Oh, thanks. But this worries me a bit then. As I've now obviously upgraded my first Bios with the version meant for the second one... Will I be able to patch it back? Won't trying to patch Bios one just throw an error since I'm already on the latest version (albeit for the wrong bios)?

Can we please talk here about this and calm down the situation with the free pads who really is an optional solution !

so hopefully you downloaded:
 
08G-P4-6284-KR - EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW DT ACX 3.0 - Primary BIOS (86.04.3b.00.74) | Secondary BIOS (86.04.3b.01.84)
 
use gpu-z - https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
 
to see what bios you have flashed at the moment, hopefully the 00.74 if you switch is still left in the primary position. I think (haven't done it) that you can reflash if you've put the wrong one on, but you should be ok, unless you flashed the primary, then the secondary without flipping the switch

Well, starting to become worried about my situation. I have a GTX 1060 FTW+ (06G-P4-6368-KR) recently bought here in Brazil. in the first alert about the issue on the EVGA's page, this model was listed as affected by it. I've ordered the thermal pads, received a confirmation e-mail in Nov 14, saying that it will be shipped soon, and status in the thermalmod page was "Awaiting shipment".

In the meantime:
- No BIOS update was released for this model, albeit being the top of the line in the EVGA's 1060 lineup;
- The model was unlisted from the affected models, even having an ACX 3.0 cooler (and the informations on the page are VERY inconsistent - there is now a unlisted model (06G-P4-6163-KR) with an available BIOS update;
- The thermalmod page now says that I don't have an eligible model (what happened with my CONFIRMED thermalpad request?)

And my video card, even using stock configuration and with a Cougar 140mm and two 120mm fans at full speed blowing air over it, have a 70-74 degrees celsius when gaming (don't even dare to try to run Fumark). Setting the card's fans to 100% don't help too much, temperatures stays around 70C. And an RMA is the last option, since here in Brazil an RMA means 1-2 months until the new card arrives.

Would like an update about this situation. Each time that I look the thermalmod page, the infos are changed.
