Guys how are you?
 
I Have 2 1080 SC ACX 3.0
 
I always use the fans at 100% because of my SLI and because i live in aa hot place (Brazil)
 
The bios update will make some diference? I mean, i always use manual speed, 100%, the new bios will improve the rpm even at 100% fan?
 
Thanks

EVGA may make the 100% mark a little bit higher. Some of my old cards had fans rated to 4400 rpm, but the fan was set to max at 3500. They may make the fan run a little higher. Unfortunately, we will have to wait and see to get an official answer.

You are going off into left field. You really need to read exactly what I typed.

He posted his friend has a 1070 SC.

I said, you need to post the part number (models can be easily mistaken... part numbers can not be...)

I said, off of what he posted, that I assume it is is part number 6173... Which is the 1070 SC.

After that, I said, his friend should not contact support, he should go to and request the thermal pads.

You posting a list of the exaggerated part numbers has ko relevance to my post. If he has part number 6173, the he can request the pads exactly where I linked. But since he did not post the part number, we would need to verify it so we guide him to do the correct thing.

He posted i quote:

A friend of mine with a 1070 SC asked the support for his pads, the support answered to him that his product was not affected to this issue, so, no pads for him...

 
You posted as an answer:

You need to post the part number.

I am assuming the card is P/N: 08G-P4-6173-KR?

Sorry but that really sound like to me, you tried to justified the answer of the support saying that his product was not affected.
 
But ok if it wasn't your intention, i stand corrected for this one. At the end of the day the support did wrong, since his 1070 sc IS on the list (most of them are).

Thanks for the quick answer
 
About the pads, i saw that SC ACX 3.0 cards are elegible, but am i wrong or almost the 100% of the problems came from FTW cards?
 
Tks again

Knowing the thickness of the thermal tape EVGA is planning to ship would be awesome. Some of us wouldn't sourcing the materials ourselves as we understand it may take EVGA a long time to ship them. 

This is my ghetto thermal pad mod. It's in no way pretty, but it will do until eVGA send out their official pads. I used Fujipoly Ultra Extreme 17W/mK pads and TG Kryonaut 12.5W/mK TIM.

I checked for VRAM contact as well, it was fine. Thanks Scarlet-Tech for the original mod guide.

Which means you should know that all ready.  Should they tell you how to use a screwdriver too?

Not everyone knows it, and EVGA should assume that and specify it, this is basic common sens for a company, since they are asking total strangers to open the cards, some are under age, some are blinds, some have no hands...should i continue?.


 

The Thermal pads are not a required fix, they can do the bios or just return the card.  They are not asking anyone to open the cards, people can request the parts if they are comfortable with it.  If they are not comfortable, as you are not or not able, then don't request it.

Knowing the thickness of the thermal tape EVGA is planning to ship would be awesome. Some of us wouldn't sourcing the materials ourselves as we understand it may take EVGA a long time to ship them. 

The kit includes:

• "Narrow" thermal pad for inductors: ~1.8mm x ~27mm x ~109mm
  
• "Wide" thermal pad for rear-side of PCB: ~2mm x ~56mm x ~109mm
  
• Thermal compound. Ours was 5W/mK, but the kits will vary based on supply.

I wrote this before and it's not difficult from EVGA to told us exactly the thickness of thermal pads!

- As I read  a previous post (don't remember the page) about the thickness from a mod of forum told is 1mm.
- On gamernexus.net write that the kit include:

• "Narrow" thermal pad for inductors: ~1.8mm x ~27mm x ~109mm
• "Wide" thermal pad for rear-side of PCB: ~2mm x ~56mm x ~109mm
• Thermal compound. Ours was 5W/mK, but the kits will vary based on supply.

το another point of the page write:
-That kit is provided free to affected EVGA customers, but you could also buy your own thermal pads (~$7) of comparable size if EVGA cannot fulfill a request. When open the link the pads thinkness is 1.5mm
So do we know the exactly thickness of the pads, is 1mm or 1.5mm or 2mm?

I don't think you can readily purchase 1.8mm thermal pads so it's most likely 1.5mm for the inductors/chokes and 2mm for the backplate.
