I just got back from a long, hard, and stressful day of work, so I am really not in the mood to go over all the post to figure out what's going on.
 
I am really confused after reading the last few posts.
 
I have a 1070 SC 6173 model with a single bios, and I'm not sure if the memory is micron or Samsung or whatever ...
 
Do I just download what's already there or the bios for Samsung and Micron will be different ?
 
Also it seems like people are having issues with flashing the bios. Can someone please explain to me what should I do before flashing the bios ?
 
Thank you guys.
 
Also on a separate note I am really pissed off at Evga for all the bull including the memory and now heating issue that was a clear oversight and shameless corner cutting, but I want to thank the moderators for being here and taking time out of their personal lives to help us and deal with these issues. Thank you to all the moderators.

?^^ Sorry but my english is not perfect. I just have one vbios on NVIDIA settings. ?

1070 FTW here
Just flashed the update and restarted, and everythings fine.
 
(best practice behaviour: close every firefox/chrome window, steam, origin, afterburner, precision x...everything that interacts with your graphics card, before you flash any bios)
 
Zero Fan Mode is still available, but now only up to 55°C. Any higher and the fans start to spin with ~300rpm, then 600rpm @ 60°C and ~1000rpm @ 64°C. No problem for me, looks like a good solution (combined with the thermal pads).
 
(Undervolted my card to 0.975v, core temp never went above 70°C...love this very card )

If you have more than one card, do you need to make sure only one GPU is installed at a time when flashing the bios? I'm guessing that's best even if it might not be required per say, but I'd like to know.

It will flash both.

BIOS update went fine for me. But i'm selling my FTW and going back to MSI or Asus, screw this. I understand EVGA are probably overwhelmed with emails right now but i've been ignored since before all this thermal stuff came to light and this has just made it even worse for me. 85c on the core when i'm gaming is a lot higher than what everyone else seeing. Even after changing TIM twice with different brands

Will you release different BIOSes for Micron and Samsung or do they use the same BIOS ?

So JacobF ? I downald 1 or 2 bios ?

Hi Jacob thank you for addressing these issues. I am trying to remain as patient as possible for the last week or so, any idea as when the secondary bios will be available as this is the one i mainly use? also I've ordered the thermal pads to install myself,  but it has came to my attention that the VRAM does not get new pads, and the ones there do not make contact with anything. Should I be concerned about the VRAM sitting in an air gap with no contact to cooling? Thank you for your efforts, I'm trying to remain optimistic about the whole situation

The micron fix is included in this new bios it's the same. You only need to get this one, and run the updater.exe.

You can just download and install the 1 available now.
 
Check back later for the other one.

I see people do not update bios files (motherboard), drivers(Geforce) and firmwares(Phones, modems) alot. These always contain previous fixes.
