I posted this in the dedicated 1050 Ti thread, but it got no love, so I'll try submitting the same questions as this new post.
Hello EVGA forums
Yesterday I bought an EVGA GTX 1050 Ti SC for a SFF build where cable management and temperatures is crucially important factors. I have 2 questions regarding the 1050 Ti, as I haven't received it yet, and thus can't verify. The questions are:
1: I've read about the padding missing on the pascal line (1060, 1070 and 1080) on reddit.com/r/nvidia, and I'm now wondering if this is also the case on the 1050's. Are they shipping with thermal padding or do we have to add that ourselves? What happens to warranty if we mod the cards with thermal pads?
2: From what I understand, the 1050 Ti SC ships without a 0 Db fan mode. This is a big let-down for me, as I assumed it to be an industry standard at this point, more or less. Is there any plans on adding this feature through a VBIOS update?
Thanks in advance.
