And one more question: what should be the default bios? Im not gonna oc. Slave like it is now or master?

Master is the default position. Looking in your case the switch should be to the left.


Where did you get your card? It could of been returned. These cards been sent back alot I bet. They check them and send them back out I bet. My foam in box was diffent on my second card. It had EVGA punched out on my first card and on second card it was totally different. 

Master (left) is the default as already stated. Probably, it's nothing. However, I think you are within your rights to get a knew one. It wasn't setup correctly at point of purchase.
A minor detail. But not a minor expense.
 
If it were me, as it's new, I would spend a few hours stress testing it with everything (except furmark - a bit on the edge that one). Then I'd set up a good custom fan profile, or a fixed one at around 65%. Add 55MHz to the core. Overvolt via MSI by 25% (That number is mis leading - it goes to 100% but 1080 dont run at double voltage) Leave memory as it is. And put the power to 110% temp 87c.
 
That seems pretty random I know, it's just a kind of moderate/slightly heavy OC. I reckon if you can pass Firestrike stress test extreme (loops graphics test 1 20x - takes 10mins) on both stock and that OC, plus running heaven and anything else you may have like valley you are looking good.
 
One thing. I never game at default fan settings as the backplate gets a bit hotter than I'm happy with under the memory/vrm area. For stock tests, to be safe I'd say set fan to at least 50% - for me it would be 60%.
 
In an airy case with air moving over the backplate, plus raised fan this problem seems to go away, no black screens or other things that some have reported.
 
It doesn't belong in this thread, so very briefly, I mention back plate memory heat as there is an on going "issue," with some EVGA pascal cards literally smoking and catching fire in that area. I suspect it's a minority, a small minority, but I have never owned a GPU with a backplate that gets painful to touch.
 
Anyhow. Totally your call. But due to that very small issue of BIOS switch postition I would be very careful to fully test, and check what does, and what doesn't void warranty.
 
Good luck!! 
 
EDIT: I should add. I tried that sample OC above, and it works fine without any voltage change, so you can forget about that if you wish. The only thing it changes is that with the voltage up by 25pts (I say pts because it can't possibly be %) the boost clock stays higher for longer, but max is the same.
2. I said not to up the VRAM due to an ongoing issue (NOT FOR THIS THREAD - I know mods.) about a possible heat problem. Nothing definitive yet, and seems to afftect small % of cards.

Just that you know, you are using a pretty old GPU-Z version, thus you do not see some fields and attributes.
keep that in mind when saving your BIOS or when checking the results of flashing a BIOS file.
 
Nicely spotted, Mort!  Current version is 1.12 I belief. 0.8 - jeepers, fine for Fermi and Kepler. (slight exaggeration)

Hello zafer600, and welcome to the forums! Your problem appears to be a little different; I'll be sending you an e-mail with instructions and a different BIOS version. 

That's the correct BIOS version, yes. The last 4 numbers on the Device ID are 6713; that identifies the card as a 1070 SC. 

Hmmm
Earlier today I updated the GeForce drivers to the latest, and I've just updated the BIOS now successfully and rebooted.
 
Hmmm it could be just my perception but in Windows 10 it appears....
 
a) Both monitors (LCD's 60Hz) seem to be flickering more on their recommended resolutions (1680 x 1050, 1280 x 1024).
b) Appears nosier on standby (left it for 20 mins or so, CPU is idle).
 
I'm not doing any overclocking, just using the GeForce drivers.
 
Thanks..

This could be caused by the power management resetting; go to the NVIDIA Control Panel, and under Manage 3D Settings change Power Management Mode to Adaptive instead of Optimal. 

Thanks but it was already on adaptive.
I flipped back to optimal and back to adaptive to make sure... no difference, even tried max performance.
BTW I'm just looking at the desktop and my web browser right now (haven't bothered with games).
Thanks for response...

Hey,

I flashed my GTX 1070 FTW primary and secondary correctly and double checked everything. But I got still the problem that the fans in the primary bios, which should be the "non-aggressive", are spinning at idle. Can anyone address this problem or tell me if evga is on the case?

Did you restart the pc after switching the bios?

Yes several times but the problem still exists. I tried to correct the fan curve, but the fan curve behave the same as on the secondary bios.

I thought about to reflash the bios but I am not sure if this will solve the problem.

You better chech the bios info really close , I flashed mine the first time to master and download the master file. When it was done the bios was flashed with the slave bios I don't know how it happen but it did. So I redownloaded it and did it again. It worked. 
it should be  86.04.50.00.70 Master only
 
If you have any overclock ultility running make sure to default them back. You might have a fan curve setup that loads at startup.
 

Hey,

I reflashed everything and switched it several times. The fans are still spinning all the time. No ultility running in the background.
Can someone from evga relate to this?

Hey guys,
 
so i updated my BIOS today on my GTX1070FTW but had a small problem:
when i started the bios update my screen turned black ( it said that that will happen ) - the problem was that it stayed black. I dont know why. Anyway - after like 2min i pressed the bottow button so my PC shut down ( not the " hard " shut down, just the one where windows shuts down iteself properly ).
 
I tried it again and again the screen stayed black. I waited another min and pressed " y " this time, i heard a beep sound and the bios updated. As i still couldnt see anything i waited 3-4min and pressed the power button again so my PC turned off.
I checked GPU-Z and the new version was there. Did the same then with the other BIOS.
  
Does everything seem fine on that screenshot? Im a bit worried caus i had to do the update kinda blind. But both BIOS versions seem ok

than you for the ubdate
 
But i have a probleme: I can't set the fanspeed below 20%, since then i have update my BIOS.

Sorry I am a beginner, how can I change the BIOS setting and how can I reflash.

If you are on the secondary/slave bios setting, this is as it should be.
If this behavior is on the main/master bios setting, try a reflash.

This problem still exist even after reflashin several times. I already tried everything out. I guess the BIOS has a bug which let the fans spin on every BIOS regardless which one you take. I'm a bit dissapointed, as evga doesnt relate or respond to this in no way.

 
Well, you are not alone, I am experiencing the same thing.

Interesting; I just installed the latest GeForce 375.57 WHQL Game Ready Drivers, the fans are now on idle below 60 degrees Celcius, same settings as before, weird. Ah well, maybe someone here sees it and it works for him/her. Good luck.

Try shutting down, disconnect power, hit power switch (to discharge caps), reconnect power, restart.

I tried it but still got the issue.

I reinstalled the 375.57 but still got the problem.
