Yeah, yeah, yeah......
This has all had me so stressed I've been unable to work and have thus lost my job. Now the wife has left with my children, mortgage in default and they've repossessed my car.
EVGA really needs to step up and make full restitution for this.

These promotions change all the time. A week after ordering my card, there was bundle including two free games and in-game credit. 
 
There's nothing for Nvidia or EVGA to do in this case, and I'm not the biggest fan of EVGA's at the moment.

Why Youre being sarcastic?
I bought two 1070 for 1000€ and belive me its a LOT of money for me.
My mobo has only 1 slot spacing between cards in SLi. Top card is getting really hot although i have good air flow. 80'C sometimes even 85'C. Its a ok temp, but i can only guess how hot VRM are getting.
Now because of this situation im afraid to play any game and i have to wait for thermal pads for god know how long.
All because EVGA made a mistake.
Is that ok in Your opinion?

I bought two 1080s, running in SLI with 1 slot spacing and I'm playing games without a worry in the world.

wouldn't it be nice if we lived on a perfect world?

kacketon, the sarcasm (yes, I was indeed being an arse) was not directed at you personally. It was more a general reaction to the innumerable demands/requests being constantly hurled in EVGA's direction.
They are doing what they can as quickly as they can to correct the problems.

You can say what you want but I still strongly believe that Crossfire and SLI is a no no.

I have the pads arriving Friday but a lot of good they'll be, my 1080SC blew out Sunday and is in EVGA's hands now for a RMA. I'm more concerned with having a rock solid product like they've always provided in the past. I do like the powerlink however, great little item!

What were your idle and load temperatures, before your card blew out?
