    I believe it is any 10 series cards with the ACX 3.0 coolers on them. You should visually inspect the card to see of any gaps are present between the cooler and vram. You can see warranty details under "my products" section

    FE cards were not affected. The pads on the ACX 3.0 coolers were there, just not making contact with the vram chips. The vrm chips never had pads at all so I would check to see. yours may have come with the pads already installed
