If there is a lot of cards who burns, there's gonna be a massive recall at one moment ?

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.

the middle one seems to be problematic.

Reading all the issues reports the main problem is at FTW cards and not SC ones right? 

for the cooling plate and the stock vram pads i guess both are the same in all acx 3.0 cards
you can first check yours by a spot light.

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.

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  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  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 have 1080 SC
I tried .05mm pad as its what i had lying around.. didnt make contact on both sides so at least thats rules out.
 
Can a EVGA staff member please clarify the size and thickness?

If you watch their tutorial they measure the thermal pads that eVGA sent them.
 
 

First post updated with BIOS's for several 1080 and 1070 cards. More coming soon.
 
Please post any feedback in this thread, we are still fine tuning and updating as more BIOS's are available.

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.

Jacob, im sorry brotha but I have to tell the owners the truth about the situation...... we all know Joe broke it and I think they should know too.    
Edit: I just thought of something after I posted this..... this could be Agent Tiny related. This is exactly the type of thing that would backfire on him all the time when overclocking, lol.

I know, it wasn't tall enough, temporary fix though.

Can we finally see the fan curve on the new bios ?

Please !!! 

Ok, I guess in this world today absolutely nothing is quality... I love the looks and love the performance but this VRM overheating and shortening the lifespan of this gorgeous GPU... hell no! come on EVGA! 

Thanks Jacob!

Another day another burned card:

Few weeks ago I had the same 'black screen' issue. I think I should check mine does it look the same as this one.
 
 
ps. It would be nice if we could have some updates regarding the whole issue. Still not a single word regarding pads' delivery. 

They will continue to pop, one after another, until something really serious happen, damaging other parts in the PC, Fire...and then EVGA is done.
