I own a 1080 Classified, please advise.

Every electronic on the planet has a potential for failure or a component shorting out. Your card is fine.

Its not just "ftw" cards. Every single generation has shown failures and resistors giving out across all manufacturers. It happens.

You have a warranty for a reason. Of something were to happen, your warranty will take care of your card.

Exploding is only for top tier cards, some lower cards were mistakenly enabled to explode, bios and driver updates will disallow explosion options for lessor cards.


BTW, sarcasm, sorry EVGA I couldn't resist.

I hope you're forgiven, this forum could use a little "levity" these days. 

Yep lower the oc potential of all cards to 60%, just like Galaxy Note 7's

Don't be worried about it. EVGA will help you if you get any problems with the card. Heck I'm still waiting for mine :(
