Next  week.

Tks Jacob.

Thanks for confirming that you're not ever planning on growing up.  We can all comfortably ignore you now.

Good thing is "Not growing up" is in the core of the EVGA buisiness, Like, Grown up peoples buying cards for playing games.
Please be my guest.

Starting to wonder if this guy works for the enemy (i.e. another board partner) or just lives at home with parents and has nothing better to do?

I totally agree, bios update is fine but for such a premium card i should not have to take it appart and do what they ask us to do even if they claim its optional.
All the videos i seen shows that the thermal pads make a huge difference keeping the heat down and without the fan going extremly loud. The whole point when i selected this card was the quiet fans. Now with this bios it can go up to 2200rpm which is crazy. Normally i goes to 1600RPM and with the pads it will be around 86 degree which is totally fine.
Hopefully my RMA will also be approved so i can swap this for a new card with the thermal pads. Otherwise its going back to the shop.

You do realize there won't be thermal pads, right?  All they'll do is flash the BIOS (30 seconds of effort) and send you back a refurb.  But if that's what you want, go for it.

Is this true?

so i received my thermal pad kit in the mail yesterday. this was after requesting the fix on Oct. 26. considering that these needed to be ordered and cut to size, not a bad turnaround.
 
i installed the pad mod last night. took 30 minutes, and part of that was me looking around for coffee filters to clean off the old TIM. if you build machines, the install is easy as pie. the most difficult part was getting the hard to reach fan and LCD header plugs off. you just have to be patient with these.
 
i actually was happy for the excuse to redo the TIM on the GPU. VRAM pads appear to be in full contact with the midplate btw.
 
i'm posting this in part because i'm tired of all the FUD getting slung around here. the fix is simple; if you don't want to do it, request an RMA exchange.

No, other brands don't need to do anything right now, EVGA is doing pretty well shooting his own foot.

I'll quote myself from the other thread:
 
EVGA has not made any final statement about new shipping cards - the earlier statement was preliminary and subsequent to that statement, the "fix" changed - fan speeds were significantly throttled down from the preliminary fix and still bring VRMs well into the acceptable range.  Unless EVGA explicitly now (after the vbios release) announce that thermal pads are included in all shipping cards from here on out, my understanding is that they will not be included.
 
For example, if they include the pads, then the thermal mod is no longer "optional" and it's silly to call it that.  If new shipping models include the thermal mod, then all current owners should be able to swap out for units with the thermal mod if they don't want to do it themselves.  It would not be the smartest business move - if I was EVGA, I would walk back quickly from any statement that thermal pads will be included or their claimed "fix" of only vbios is disingenuous.

Agreed, and thanks for your feedback. 

I also did the mod yesterday. Had some 1mm/1.5mm spare pads around the house. I didn't have coffee filters either. Had to go to store to get shop towels and 91% alcohol. The mod took less than 20 minutes. The fan and led headers are a PITA though. Had to ask the wife to undo them, smaller hands.
