For those users who want additional cooling beyond the VBIOS update, EVGA has optional thermal pads available.  This update is not required, however; EVGA will make it available free of charge to any customer who is interested. To request the thermal pad kit, please visit www.evga.com/thermalmod 

I'm really worried and nervous about these issues. I have updated the BIOS, but I want the Thermal Pads too, so I can install them and have some peace of mind. My problem is that I'm a EVGA customer from Uruguay (South America), and I already had to pay U$S 250 extra for shipping and taxes to get my card here, so I need to know how much will the thermal pad kit cost me if I request it now. I would heartily appreciate any information or advice that EVGA and the community may give me.

Unless they changed something, and your card is registered, it's free. "EVGA will make it available free of charge to any customer who is interested. To request the thermal pad kit, please visit www.evga.com/thermalmod "

Hi HeavyHemi, thank you for your reply. My video card is registered. I know the thermal pad kit is free, but how about shipping it to my country (Uruguay, South America), will it be free too or will I have to end up paying a high price?

I've been through a good amount of pages and haven't seen it clearly answered.

Does the over heating issues effect a 1070 sc? I keep my fans around 80% and keep the card 60c or cooler, will this ever be a problem for me?

A good couple of pages. Except page 1 and the first post. Nice.
Keeping your fans that high does not look like a good solution. I suggest getting the new bios instead.

You do realize that the purpose of the new bios is to increase the native fan speed of the card at certain temperatures? So if he is keeping his fans at 80% with a program like Afterburner or PrecisionX, that is the exact same result as flashing the new bios. I am not worried about rushing to get the new bios because I always make my own fan curve to keep my card cool anyways.

This is not entirely true. First id wager constant 80% as needless excessive fan wear. The irony being that one does so out of fear of flashing the BIOS (while raising the potential of another entirely different problem)  Secondly, the max RPM's were changed. I.E. the percentages pertaining to previous BIOS' do not match those of the current. 

Nowhere is Evga's post about the bios change did it say that they increased the max rpm's of the fans. The only thing I have been able to find on the subject is that the stock fan curve has been made more aggressive. Please link the page if you can show where they said the max rpm's of the acx cooler's fans has been increased with the new bios.
Also, running your fans at 80% all the time (not something I do purely for sound level reasons), is what the cooler was made to do, actually 100%, if they die prematurely, that's what warranty is for.

I can tell you. Im on the new VBIOS. The RPM is higher. But if you don't want to believe me so be it.

Please tell me what your max card rpm is now with the new bios then? my max rpm on the old bios is roughly 3026 rpm. Thanks

Max RPM has not increased. Only the curve is slightly more aggressive at 70C+

About 3600 RPM

Then whats the max RPM? Im showing 3600 on MSI Afterburner?

No need for name calling. Keep it clean guys.
