Just curious if I should even be alarmed in any way, I have the 1070 FTW with a super flow of air. 3 Fans are actually blowing onto the gpu directly and plus the 2 fans from the acx of course. Idles 23c and caps out at 60c.

The gpu temp is not an issue.  It is the VRM that is and the lack of cooling there.  So Precision and most software will not show this temp.  I would still recommend the thermal mod and bios.

Previously when I put pads on my 480 GTX cards when I attached water blocks and a water block on my old x58 EVGA mobo on the VRAM chips I cut the blocks. But when I reseated the VRAM & mobo block I used a strip cut long & wide enough to cover them my temps dropped a little. I made sure the strip was wide, long, & plenty thick to allow plenty of compression. I don't know if the strip that exists on the block between the VRAM chips allowed for that 1/2 degree extra heat dissipation but in my little brain it did! :-)

I'm thinking it would have made a difference, even it was slight. I'm trying to make a lot of small differences here really, and the total
combined effort in as many areas as possible should add up to a substantial reduction in over-all temps, making it more robust.

Try not to take my attitude towards this too seriously, i did say i was on a mission from god lol.

 
@dakon the bios only corrected the stock fan profile, mines already aggressive.
@NucleusX Haha I understand, I just figure due to my high flow of cooling. One would think everything on the card is within reason.
 
But no worries, I already requested the free pads from EVGA. I was just curious as I haven't been keeping up on all these threads haha.

The reality is is that it varies. You can't monitor the temperature of the VRAM or VRM's, and you can't use the GPU die temp
as an indicator for anything else but the GPU itself. Its atleast advised to visually inspect the VRAM and VRMs. Some reports
where made that gaps existed between VRAM chips and the base-plate, which is down to factory error. Luck of the draw really.

I remember when we had to contend with just the silicon lottery, now it seems there is a thermal pad lottery too. Just wish I could win the lottery
