Much longer wait and these will get caught up in the annual xmas post delays.

Ordered mine also on 24th and now its 4th week waiting. At this point they can keep their pads, gonna buy them myself.

Also ordered on 24th. It's pitiful really. First and last EVGA card.

Those who are still waiting for shipment (especially outside of USA) don't keep your hopes high. Go get yourself some thermal pads from amazon / ebay and apply it before something happen to your cards. Some of your cards might be a time bomb waiting to explode and if it does happen, that's $400 down the drain. As much as I highly rate EVGA, they really mess it up with the ACX cooler. Whether it's about cost cutting or not, they seriously learned it the hard way

Ordered mine on October 25th (3 weeks ago as of today), status is still "Awaiting Shipment" and I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed by the EVGA support. If I would have wanted to have a card with bad support I could have gone with any other brand. Well I guess lesson learned ... next time I know better.

I'm already willing to fix the card myself and now I am supposed to pay for the materials as well? Definitely not happening ...

May you tell me which thermal paste is used? If is has a too low thermoconductivity I will replace it with a different paste having a higher conductivity.

Nightmare it looks like the same grey paste evga used on the heatsink. I do not know what brand it is. This mod though has lowered my idle temp to 29-30. Before it was around 37-40. I did not apply the new bios. I will play BF1 later and see my temps. Pre-mod i would get 65-67 degrees with an aggressive fan curve.

I also want to share with you guys what i discovered applying the mod. First, one of the four screws holding the heatsink was loose! Second, after removing the front plate I noticed maybe two VRAM chips were making contact with the stock pads. 
 
 
 
 

For who live in europe i think we need to wait until the eu warehouse open...
Tomorrow i order some pad for replace the pad of my 1070 cause now i use it with 50% max power limit and 60 degrees max temp and i have poor performance for saving my card from certains death... Im sorry but this is my first and last card from EVGA
