Would it be possible for EVGA to provide a detailed picture of the new PCB so water-cooling users can check if the new design will be compatible with their water-block?
 
It would help them make a decision whether to upgrade or not?

Need help from any of you guys from EVGA.

Sometimes my card still have the problem from The Black Screen and 100% Fans Spinning Up.

Since I'm from Brazil, and the cost to send the GPU back to US is expensive, I was waiting for some new info about the ICX.

What I would like to know is (I checked at this thread, and there is nothing clear about this problem), if I start the RMA for my GTX 1080 FTW, will I get another 1080 FTW ACX 3.0, or will I be upgraded to the FTW2 ICX??
 
Edit: It's just that, 99$ for the upgrading program, is a lot for me. I like EVGA Customer Service a lot, can't complain about that. But I will already need to pay around 50$ for the shipping from Brazil to US, plus 100$ in the upgrade program, It's a lot for me. 

Thanks in advance.

IF brazil is part of the upgrade program, the $100 covers the shipping.. you wouldnt be paying an extra $50 for the shipping on top of the upgrade cost.

Please make sure to read the terms and conditions for locations that are open.

Sorry, I was misleading in my post, you would have to pay for shipping back to evga, the shipping the provide free would be the return shipping to get the product back to you. I misread part of the page, and i am very sorry for that.

P.s., your english is perfectly fine. :-)

Thanks for killing the resale value on ACX 3.0 cards. Been building PCs for almost 20 years. Loyal EVGA guy who paid $20 over the competition, that had a legit cooling solution, and now I have to consider spending $100 after being a thermal beta tester because you release a PR-driven rehash of the same cards, that will absolutely tank the resale value on ACX 3.0 cards?
 
What should have happened is you should have upped the warranty, and gone into PR mode. You recycled the incomplete thermal solution from ACX 2.0 in an age when various component temps were becoming an issue. Then you bone ACX 3.0 buyers a second time by hurting their resale value. Absolutely incredible. 
 
Nobody should be okay with this, let alone celebrating putting patents on things to stop other OEMs from making safer products for their customers.

This is not fair for GTX1080 FTW1 users at all! Not with all those thermal problems! I would like to move to this FTW2 version and if I have to pay for some expenses I would  but my card is highlighted RED for some reason, so I've just flushed 750€ down the drain? I mean, come on guys....

Important Question
 
Will the existing PCB's (card) simply be swapped with the new cooler.
 
Or is the PCB changing? Will my EK waterblock still fit?
 
Will I get the same PCB (card) back, with just the new cooler.
 
Or will it be an entire new card I get?
 
If it's entire new cards going out (new PCB's too) what is EVGA doing with the old ones?

Nick you  are a madman! lol
You don't need to upgrade man you are already underwater!
There is no difference in performance and you may even get a lesser silicon.
You don't need the sensors because you got or had your card wired six ways from Sunday to monitor that all already. lol
The upgrade you will get a brand new card.
EK WB probably won't fit, it didn't the first time as you had to mod it didn't you?
The old cards will be resold on the B market.
 
Finally, and I will say this again and continue to say this from the first page of this thread. And applies to you and other EK people. EVGA doesn't need them. They have the Hydro Copper and their own AIO system now.What EVGA should be doing is offering premium package of Hydro Copper with quick connect to one of their AIO systems. THAT is something worth paying for. As Gamers Nexus stated in their Conclusion, it probably isn't a good idea to pay for the upgrade at this point, unless you are dazzled by the sensors, it won't be economical. However if you are a first time buyer then go for it!.
For me, I want to see Hydro Copper full cover WB coupled with their 240mm AIO. (If they can get a pump that will work for 240) if not then even the 120(140) mm would be fine just like what MSi did with their 30th Anniversary Edition card.

i think this is absurd and a slap in the face to release a "safer" product after selling what i suppose is classified as unsafe and then to charge customers more. now pretty much all current acx 3 owners either give evga more money or suffer from crap resale value. i definitely wont be surprised if this company crashes like BFG did i have lost total faith in such a company after such scummy tactics to give a big middle finger to its customers. its ok tho nothing wrong with the beta 10 series of these cards after all they are labeled safe too right oh wait no there not. it should be a damn free rma exchange for these "unsafe cards" instead evgas gotta make more money off their screw ups in design as its the customers fault for trusting such a company.
 
my damn 1080 ftw cards a month old. and i got 4 year ipr on it. over $1000 candian investment to be slapped in the face yet again for there flawed cooler design and very terrible slogans.

What happens if you get a card that boosts less than before? Do you want EVGA to be flexile in helping you resolve that or do you want them only meeting their minimum obligation.  Think about it !!
