I updated the VBIOS but while playing BF1 my temps are still at 82c? Is that a normal temp?

Is that a FTW card, and are you running a custom fan curve? That seems high. My 1070 SC on the stock fan profile reached a maximum of 72C. But I'm running a custom fan profile so that the fan is at 50% at 60C, and that keeps my GPU temperature at a maximum of 60C.

Yes FTW edition. I use to have it on a custom curve. I just turned it to aggressive after writing that message and now running battlefield at 1440 and 130fps I am around 68~72c and idling around 30 as of now.

Then I would say it is almost guaranteed that the higher temperatures you are seeing when your GPU is under load are due the thermal pads on your FTW not touching the VRM modules.

My card is a 1070 SC, and so it shouldn't be affected by this particular issue. And I would guess that's why my stock fan-profile SC 1070 reached a max temperature of 72C, while your FTW reached 82C.

Please help, I tried installing the new BIOS update for my 1070 FTW but it doesn't install, just shows the black command screen with no text even after hitting "y" and enter. Also tried running as admin but same thing, what am I doing wrong?!?

So I went and did the bios update for the secondary bios on my 1080 FTW, 08G-P4-6286-KR. And what has really struck me as odd is that the quiet and the aggressive fan profiles are exactly the same from the old to the new bios.
 
Can Jacob or someone confirm this is correct? Cause if this is correct, why the need for the BIOS? At least for the secondary bios.

The Galaxy Note 7 product withdrawal was a joke. They took back the "defective" phones, then sent them back with another seal over the old one (2 stickers). It was all about the money, until some poor person was on a plane when their damn phone spontaneously burst into flames.

what a farce.
 
dangerous hot cards,  being hotfixed.
 
when someones home burns down, maybe someone will take note.
 
EVGA overheating and these  issues are all over the internet at the moment

i spoke on phone to a nice support man who didnt suggest a vbios update until i mentioned it and then he told me to email in for it, and didnt just send me it to see if we could get this  fixed.
was on phone 50 mins.
am on old vbios.

Noticed a Classified I didn't even know existed in the bios list, What's with the 1080 CLASSIFIED DT ? What's the point in it's existence ?
 
Isn't the whole point of the Classified line to have high clocks and not be shipped with "Founders Edition" type clocks ?

Perhaps they ran out of the standard ACX coolers   

i have watercoolers, good airflow, and my card was nearly 100 degrees cel with no fan movement.
told evga tech on phone, didnt appear concerned.

I got one issue here:
I have GTX 1080 SLIx2 (one monitor connects to it, via DVI) and a GTX 645 (two monitors connect to it, via HDMI and DVI). MB is ASUS X99-E WS USB3.1, it has PLX chip, so video cards connect to PLX, not directly connect to CPU or PCH... then, I run bios updater, cmd window showed up with logging like "detecting adopters, balabala, found PLX, balabala ", then one monitor @ 1080 and one monitor @ 645 went black. I waited for minutes, and I had to reboot the machine...
I guess VGA driver caused it?

normally what should happen is you take your card to the store and the store gives you a new card. that is what the company should offer. you shouldn't need a receipt as it is obvious what brand and card you have.  this would be truly standing behind the products and respecting the customers. RMA with a credit card really is not the best way to deal with this. neither is repairing your own card. +1

You do realise that's something only the store can do right? EVGA can't go in contact with every store, since they don't even know who they are. They don't ship to stores, they ship to warehouses.
EVGA offers you to bypass the store. Since the store will just tell you to shoo, since the card is not broken. Don't forget, unless you ordered via EVGA, you did not pay your money to EVGA. You paid to the store. EVGA only gets their cut.

 
I agree with Aristoc69.
Evga can give a statement and instruct/oder to warehouses and stores, that coustomers could go to store and demand a replace card, then when the 
replacement card is at store the customer could go and give the "defect" card and take the new card with pads-bios etc. as it should be from the beginning.

where are the bios updates for the 1060 cards?

BIOS updates on 1060 ACX3  cards will not be necessary, we will have the optional thermal pads for some SKU's so please stay tuned.

They aren't optional if you're installing them on the cards going forward.  Let's stop pretending.  +1

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.

"EVGA has updated its manufacturing line for all these cards to add the thermal pads as standard."
Can't post links, but it's on pcmag site.

Again, until EVGA actually says this post vbios release I'll remain skeptical (not saying it's not true) and like I said, it wouldn't be the smartest move unless they want to swap thousands of cards. 

Would it help if I say it semi-post-VBIOS release?  All cards on the Thermal Mod list are being produced with the extra thermal pads and VBIOS flash, with certain exceptions (such as no VBIOS for GTX 1060s, as Jacob noted, or backplate pads for the 1070 Black Editions [no backplate]), and all graphics cards on the list will be updated for both VBIOS and thermal pads before being shipped out again retail or for RMA's.  Since there is a small downtime for accomplishing all of this, future cards purchased or replaced will have a pretty clear shipping date of when they were updated.
 

 
From the aboves, the future cards produced from the factory with pads-bios (not optianal).
So either Evga recall and replace the cards (with new, not refurbs) through stores or direct from evga, either the customers we have to add
the pads EVGA (and worked the cards so long without the pads) must extend the warranty to 5 years.
