I just hope the basic ACX3.0 versions will get less fan speed increase.

I have the 08G-P4-6286-KR 1080 FTW, downloaded and ran the update and it says it is incompatible.

Do you have an AMD chipset mobo? If so, see:

Q. I have an AMD chipset motherboard, and the flash is not completing. What do I do?
A. Please contact (check original post can't get it to link here), this will require a special update.

Greetings, jacobs, I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW ACX 3.0, 08G-P4-6276-KR .I'm from Ecuador and request the pads is not available for my country, this is trizte xq in my country temperatures are higher, and have always been faithful to EVGA GPU, please help.

After the bios update on my GTX 1080 SC EVGA Precision can't detect my GPU anymore. Can anyone help?
 
EDIT: Clean install, registry clean and a restart solved this problem for me.

Awesome, thanks for this. While like you said many factors skew accuracy here, this is still very helpful. Im assuming you didn't happen to notice if your RPM's matched at a given percentage between the two given "And if the overall RPM was also increased with the BIOS these percentages won't be apples to apples.". Though I wouldn't assume they would have changed the max given there is still so much room in the original profile and even this slightly more aggressive one. Either way, thanks again.

It didnt occur to me to check RPMs until after the fact, sorry! I can tell you that right now Afterburner reads the RPM at 3600~ish when at 100% fan. I don't know what it was before.

No problem, the 3600 readout at 100% alleviates the need for it anyways id imagine. Id cross check with mine at 100% (as I haven't updated VBIOS) but fiancee is asleep behind me, don't think shed appreciate the late night fan harmony right now XD Off to sleep myself. 

Quick question, my FTW has Micron VRAM. Safer than the Samsung ones from overheating?
 
I'm considering just keeping my card with the bios updated but no optional thermal pads
 
Thanks

I updated my GTX 1080 FTW's vBIOS (the default one) yesterday and so far it seems to be working fine and I'm not noticing much, if any, additional fan noise. However, temperatures do seem to be a bit lower, for example in Skyrim Remastered on Ultra 4K settings they are around 60-65 C now rather than 65-68 C with the original fan profile. The fan does appear to remain off on the desktop though as it is currently 0% with a GPU temperature of 28 C according to MSI Afterburner.
 
So what are the differences between the two fan profiles? Does anyone know? Is it just a case of the fans spinning when the GPU gets above a lower temperature, e.g. 50 C instead of 65 C?

I was under the assumption to begin with that this was only effecting the ftw cards so I had put a support ticket in on my 1080 classified, support is telling me it's my psu causing the issue and I should buy a new one.. When clearly the thread shows that the 1080 serial code is effected with this issue. Felt like they were trying to force down my throat a new psu instead of trying to help. Instead of giving some advise or referencing this thread.
