I do not accept this kind of repair done in my product, you already burned in the market, my product has no value retail with this kind of repair, if they want me to stay with a defective product with a poor quality sink, error project that the heatsink blocks the flow of air, lack of cooling in PWM unacceptable failure of a major manufacturer like you to release a product of this magnitude without going through proper testing, you have to replace the cooler completely for a new project or return me my money.

What's wrong with that one? Everything makes contact.

was thinking the same, but read some descriptions on it, thermal compound on core itself was little dry. crumbly even. that seems like an old & expired thermal compound stuff.

Heat cycles do that to thermal compound. As long as its transferring the heat its fine.
At this point people are just nitpicking.

yeah.. i don't really care much either. I live in southern california and liquid cooling is almost a must for extreme gamers. i'm going to request everything evga is offering and that's that. if it breaks, i have 3 years to RMA it lol. yeah it's $700 products that gives you issues when it really shouldn't but i can do something else while in the process of RMA. I'm in the process of RMA'ing my PSU from corsair and oh boy... talk about headaches. I'd choose EVGA over other brands because of ease on RMA even if I have to go through multiple RMAs. that being said EVGA is the one who is suffering from all this. of course we are as well, but mostly, EVGA is..

GTX 1080 FTW, where do we get this BIOS?

Read the 6th paragraph in the very 1st post that states they will release the BIOS in a few days.......................

If I do the cross RMA option, will I get a replacement with the thermal pads? Or is getting the BIOS update the only option here?

I keep reading that bios just adjusts the fan curve but in the gamersnexus article I see a fan speed comparison between 1600 RPM and 2200 RPM. Does this mean the new bios update increase the max fan speed from 1600 to 2200?
1600RPM

will this update fix the fan rpm spikes with the ACX cards? 

 
Is it possible to see the fan curve with the all new VBIOS. The one who "fix" the temperatures issues.

AND 

Is it possible to see the fan curve original, the very first one with the 0db mode.

Thanks !

Nah man. That advertised 400% longer life span refers only to the fans.
And yes, it is a big deal if you take into consideration some people have them always running at high speeds.
If you run a fan at full speed, that isn't dual bearing or fluid bearing, it'll last 2 years, 3 at most before it starts showing signs of wear and be less effective.

You realize you're contradicting yourself, right ?
 
You yourself say fans are a big deal to the life span of a GPU, so you are more than admitting that fans play a big role in the life of a GPU. So if your fans have 400% longer life span, then as a result the longevity of your card increases cause the fans last longer. So Evga is literally telling you the cards last longer, because they have better fans that last longer. How can you fail to make that connection ?
 
But at the same time you seem to miss the connection that I'm making by saying BIG DEAL in my post, which is referring to the fact that with a dead vRam that 400% increased life span of the fan is not a big deal. Why? Because your card is dead anyways !
 
On the other hand you ignore every other incorrect fact that Evga's put on that page, and you're held up over this ?!
 
Backplate that helps reduce the temp, while in reality according to Evga themselves it increases the temps. The cards having low noise levels, which will be a thing of the past with the BIOS update. All of this could've been avoided if Evga thoroughly tested their cards, and addressed these issue before releasing their cards.
 
You bunch make excuses that Furmark is this and that, while other brands of the same card are running it just fine.
 
You bunch ignore that article with an owner taking off the backplate and showing the unusual signs of wear and damage with pictures that indicate the problem with these cards go beyond a simple fix. Our cards are damaged as a result of running hot, but it takes time for the damage to manifest itself as the cards completely dying.
 
Evga does not offer refunds, they do not offer an extension of their warranty, they charge you for shipping of the card while the whole situation is 100% their fault, they don't promise you a new card if you RMA, and they act like they're doing us a favor after we paid over 400$.
 
Stop fooling yourself.
 
You guys are beyond help and you deserve what you are getting. I really am shocked that you want to be pissed on and cheated like this.
 
I'm out. No more replies from me. If you ignore solid evidence, then there's no point.

You probably should be "out" if your "rage" over this is so intense that you cant think logically about the issue.
 
First off, since when does it surprise anyone that when you RMA a card you might get a refurb as a replacement. Who DOESNT do that? ASUS does, Gigabyte does, every single tech maker Ive ever ordered from does this. They send you a refurb that is tested to meet standards.

As for Furmark, yeah you damn well SHOULD blame Furmark, when the folks who did this "test" to expose this "overheating issue" were running Furmark at 99% GPU usage for over 2 hours while only running their fans at 30-40%. Thats just idiocy on anyones part.
 
Also what article of someone showing damage? If you are talking about the Vram thermal pads? Mistakes happen. I find defects in almost every manufacturer out there. I once bought a notebook from ASUS that literally didnt have the drive plugged in. I had a Gigabyte board with bad solder joints. Oh fricken well dude.
 
Thats WHY we go with EVGA. Peace of mind warranty. If their product is defective, they stand behind it and will take care of their customers 100%, unlike a lot of other manufacturers I have dealt with.


If your *SO* upset with EVGA, even if you consider this a flaw in their design, find me another card manufacturer you are going to go with, and Ill be happy to dig up horror stories on them for you.

Also I would like to request the thermal pads for my 1070 SC Black Edition.  The link from earlier stated I do not have a qualifying product.  How can I go about getting them?  Thanks again.

Try now.
 
Only update on BIOS is fan profile.

Hey Jacob!
Questions, do you know if I'll be able step up to  a 1080 Ti if it releases within 3 months if I purchase an EVGA GTX 1080 ACX 3.0 from B&H Photo? Also, I'm pretty sure they have the models without the thermal pads so if I ask EVGA for an advanced replacement, will they send me a brand new GTX 1080 or a refurb?

Or just Order through EVG, or order the Thermal Pads for it.  Sounds like if you request a replacement after you get your product registered you will get a previously returned card.
As for the Step-up, best to ask if a different forum.

EVGA does not have them in stock at the moment. I heard they'll be in stock anywhere from 3 week to a month. Plus EVGA's site charges sales tax.
