Jesus, people are being ridiculous about this. Raise your damn fan speeds, wait for the bios update and be done with it. If you card fails anyway for whatever weird reason within your 3 year warranty, EVGA will cover it, its a non-issue really.
 
That hardware review site did something stupid with the cards, running them with modified drivers and using a software that even Nvidia themselves said can cause damage to your GPU. This isnt an issue with the cards, its an issue with people doing stupid unrealistic things to the card.

This is about as bad as taking your car out joyriding in a cornfield smashing through things, and then complaining when you break it.

Having to flash the bios is not my issue, the resulting fan noise is. My box my card came in will essentially have false advertising on it.

The card can still have 0% fan speed. The resulting noise is actually not as loud as many are assuming. I run my fans between 50 and 60% on an open bench, and the stock Intel cpu cooler is louder than the GPU.

However the test said 2200 rpm fan speed, which I tried on my 1080 and I find it unacceptable compared to the 1400 rpm I have seen so far. If the card hits 2200rpm under gaming it is of no use to me.
Maybe some more information about the fan speed (I hope it is not the same for every card from ACX3.0 to Classified) and the need to install the new BIOS would help. I have no problems installing the pads, but the very silent coolers was a big point for my decision to go EVGA.

I need these pads!!!
 
My EVGA GTX 1080 SC is running at 91C with 90% fan speed when i play BF1 on ultra at 1440p.
 
I live in South Africa these pads will be a few month if at all... cant EVGA also provide us with the size and thickness of the pads?
For people who have access to thermal pads, cant we make our own?

I don't think the pads will solve your issue, it seems to be unrelated. Seems like to be a faulty card or an airflow issue. What's your case?

80% fan speed not 90 sorry
 
Corsair 460X with 3 intake at the front, 2 outtake at the top and 1 outtake at the back.
case fans running at 1800rpm with fan on card at 100 will get the gpu to 85ish

Am i the only one with 91C when gaming with a 80% fan speed?
 

It's impossible to tell if your issue is your GPU, or poor case air flow with high ambient temps.  In other words, more information is needed. Your GPU temp isn't strictly related to this issue. You might have better luck starting your own thread with more information.
 
Edit...missed your post with the case. While that case looks nice, the front fans being more or less completely blocked by a panel doesn't seem to be ideal for getting air flow through the case. Are their any exhaust fans? What are you using to cool your CPU?

Have submitted a ticket already.
 
But lots of airflow,
Ambient temp is 22C
 
when GPU is on idel with 40% fan speed it hovers around 45C
Playing BF1 maxes at 91C

It shouldn't be that high with 40% fan speed, i also use that much and stays at 27c idle and around 60c while gaming (70% fan speed), my case is a Corsair 780T but yours seems to be pretty good.
 
But like HeavyHemi said you better off creating your own thread or waiting for a reply for your ticket because the pads are for the VRM temps and not for your core temps, your issue seems to be totally unrelated.

Um, no offense but with the front fans being partially blocked by the front panel and apparently no exhaust fans, I'm not sure how good your air flow is.

Any comments on this?

This is unreal. EVGA really needs to fix this for us. Create a new hardware revision with some actual, consistent QC and let all us registered owners exchange for it. This is embarrassing.

read/look again (all fans running at constant 1100RPM at the moment)
3x HD120s in the front as intake, (2cm gap from fans to the front glass panel open on both sides of that 2cm gap
2x HD120s on top as exhaust
1x HD120 at back as exhaust
