where are the bios updates for the 1060 cards?
 

Waiting on nVidia, I'd assume. Hopefully, by next week?

LOL.  Pretty much what I was picturing :D

I liked that evga or someone explains to me

I had to test the bios slave in 1080FTW.
The original bios Slave, had the fans at 20%, now the new bios has the fans to 15% .. ****?
I made a small test 3dmark with the original ran the test stock with 54 ° C temperature, fan climbed the 34/35% - 1050rpm + -
After I updated the bios, and was again run 3dmark, ran with higher temperatures, I got 61ºC, with fans coming to 31%.

That is worse than the original bios, not to mention that in idle is is warmer because the fans go to 15% and not 20%.

if the curve is the most aggressive when temperatures are higher ?! , Can not methyl Furmark yet, but at least in games it seems to me that will leave the hottest graphical (since not enough to rise much of 61ºC the fan does not fire for RPM values ​​higher in consequence the VRM will floor warmer.

It seems that the new bios, only works on stress tests / Furmark
But as soon as possible, do more tests
sorry my english

1070 FTW here.
I can confirm this new bios put idle fan speed on slave bios to 15%. It was 20%.
WTH EVGA ??

Im not entirely sure but this could be related to them increasing the overall max RPM which from what ive gathered they have done. What im saying is that if the maximum RPM is increased 15% may be the same or higher than 20% in the former VBIOS depending on the change.

Hi all,
tested the new Master BIOS for the 1080 Classified. I did a simple comparison with the original one. Hope it helps you to decide...

Original BIOS Master (86.04.17.00.80)
GPU °C / Fan% / Fan_RPM
62 / 0 / 0
63 / Fan start to spin
68 / 18 / 500
69 / 19 / 525
70 / 20 / 565
71 / 22 / 600
73 / 26 / 700
74°C is max temp

New BIOS Master (86.04.3B.00.82)
GPU °C / Fan% / Fan_RPM
52 / 0 / 0
53 / Fan start to spin
60 / 22 / 600
61 / 29 / 960
63 / 33 / 1100
64 / 35 / 1180
64°C is max temp
 
Important:
As I am using an Prolimatech MK26 cooler the temps compared to the original ACX3 cooler are different! The good thing is that the fans begin to spin already at 53°C instead of 63°C. The bad thing is, the curve is too aggressive / loud for my purpose... I am waiting for the thermal pads and after applying them I will go back to the original master BIOS which is more silent...

Will I get an email when my thermal pads ship? It says "awaiting shipment" and Im tired of refreshing the screen.

1070 FTW here (July build). Didn't have any problems. Flashed both bioses tonight for the sake of it. Easy. Gpu temp down from 74 to 65. Max RPM circa 1200. Dont honestly notice any significant difference in noise. Don't have any problems after flashing now either. Happy.

Will do the thermal mod as well because I like tinkering :).

Having read this entire thread I'm just astounded at some people's lack of perspective.

Thank you EVGA. You have always done right by my book.

That's sounds right.
