Hello !

All is in the title, I already know there is some cards with issues, sad to read that (evga made some big mistakes I agree)  but here I want the opposite, you have a 1000 series EVGA and no problem at all (for the moment maybe  ) come here to tell us that !
 
We always know when someone had a problem on forums but all customers who are satisfied never speak on forums...

Just give us the date of purchase too..

I begin - > 1070 SC, 6th october, no problem.
 
edit: If it's possible to precise if you have pads or not pads...

Of course, it's more relevant to post here if you dont have pads on your card I think...

I want also prove here that not having pads is not a big deal at all and thats there is a lot of cards without pads who works like a charm 

Like mine... 

How do You know that You dont have a problem?

I agree with you and what you mean... 
 
We will talk only about no visible problem and no problem when using the product.
Maybe you have but if it works, this is not a real problem at the moment 

1070 SC with back plate. 30th SEP purchased , no problem as of now but can see huge gaps between VRAM pads .. Eagerly waiting for thermal pads as request raised on 24th OCT.

1080FTW with thermal pads fitted by me, voltages are now stable @ 1.091 dropping to 1.081 which is a lot better than it was(1.05), no great increase in OC ability but stable, if you haven't put in for the pads, DO SO they do make a difference, and it's fun if you want to have a look at the innards of your GFX card/s without the risk :D
 

I dont want to have a look inside my graphic card at all... I just use an agressive curve fan.

My 2 x 1070 FTW were shipped on 5th of September. Aggressive fac curve, latest BIOSes, no problem until now (black screen, loss of signal, fan spinning 100% or other reported problems). No thermal pads installed either. We will see how they will work in 2 years from now on...

Thanks for the answers.

You will not put the pads like me ?

At the moment no, I think they work fine without the pads.

for ilyama
 
a bit off topic i know soz, but...
 
does the aggressive curve fan cool the VRMs? also how far does your voltage drop when gaming if that's what you do on your computer?
