Are we going crazy?

In my case ... yep!
My card was ordered from EVGA on 08/23/2016 and it was shipped from EVGA on 8/31/2016.  I received it on 9/5/2016.  So far no issues.  In fact I for once may have won the silicon lottery as mine can run at 2025MHz (set from Precision XOC) and whether I am letting benchmarking programs loop for an hour or two or play a few less-than-demanding games it stays at 70C or below.  Just sayin'.

1070 FTW W/Backplate, runs cool, medium aggressive fan curve. purchased 8/21.
Received replacement pads, just in case.. have not installed them yet.
Have not updated bios yet either.
Completely satisfied with my EVGA 1070FTW ! 

1070 SC Black Edition. Used a thermal gun to check temps and found no issues. I have installed the thermal pads and temps came down about 7C on VRAM.

got my 1070 ftw and installed the graphics card it ran amazing for 2-1/2 weeks then my monitor went black I heard strange electrical pop and saw big spark from the top middle section of the card and smelled like burning plastic. Well I didn't even know there was a issue with the card until it happened because I trusted EVGA to put out a quality product but appears to not be the case waiting for a RMA cross ship now and hope will fix the problem. I had to put a old video card in the system to make sure my ASUS motherboard did its job of protecting the other parts of my computer (it did thankfully).

but just for your information my RMA still shows pending approval. Now why would it be pending approval if there is a mfg issue with the VRM. Just want to say REALLY!!! NOT a happy customer at this point.

7 only ?

Are we going crazy? This post is totally irrelevant, a correct operation is what is expected of a high-end product that costs about 500-700 €. It is not news that a graphic card works the way it is expected

It's news because the forum is filled with threads that may give people the false impression that all 10 series EVGA cards are exploding or just waiting to do so.

A thread like this illustrates that the sky isn't actually falling for all EVGA card owners.

My temps were good to begin with. Hottest part of my card with Furmark running was low 80's on one row of VRAM. GPU, chokes and mosfets were even cooler.

Exactly, all the forum talks everytime about 5 or 6 graphic cards...

There is several thousand of cards without problem (at the moment :o ) this thread is here to prove that's not the end of the world..

I bought my 1070 FTW back in September and haven't noticed any issues. The card runs under 65C all the time and is even OCed to 2100 MHz on the ACX 3.0 cooler. The only reason I even bothered with the thermal pads was out of an abondence of caution. In fact, the VRAM pads made contact on many of the chips.
