Alrighty, well, we are officially in the middle of the week... I was told that early this week, these mods would start shipping out, but mine is still on "Awaiting Shipment." Can we have an update on this please?

Mine still says "Awaiting Shipment." after nearly 2 weeks,, I want to get this done and start using the 1070 properly..

Same. But i will use the card as normal (aggressive fan curve, but i always use that, noise don't bother me.) If anything happens while i wait for the termal pads, i'm just going to rma.

Same here.

That was before they had a come to Jesus moment about the ram pads as well - expect that the delay is them having to cut all those new pads and add them to the shipments.

Because some people discovered another possible issue, a gap between ths vram abd and the already installed thermal pads.

It's only very very minor possibility for it to happen during manufacture.

So evga will include another set of thermal pads for vram too.

In my opinion this is the reason that delays the shipment.

I know all about the VRAM issue as well as the VRM and that is what I inquired about last week and specifically, if the VRAM pads will be included, which the answer to was yes. I was told that it will be shipping out early this week, well, we are are in the middle / late week now, I just want to know what is going on.

Hi Everyone,
 
I can confirm that we are sending these out as quickly as possible and the evening of the shipment the status will update to shipped.  Some of you may see this update as early as later tonight.
 
Thank you everyone for your patience.

I wonder whether you are giving priority to shipments to American users or you are sending the pads to all countries at the same pace. Shipments to Spain will be sent from Germany or the States? Just to make an idea of the delivery time.

Why would you assume they would do that over first come, first served?
